[quote:Lost Angel:MV8yNjQ4ODA0XzQ2NDcyNjk5XzlCRkI1NUVE] [quote:Anonymous Coward 3327691:MV8yNjQ4ODA0XzQ2NDcyNjAyX0RERUIzNzJD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 63252547:MV8yNjQ4ODA0XzQ2NDcyMzU5XzMxODVEODBB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 3042112:MV8yNjQ4ODA0XzQ2NDcyMTcyXzk3RTVCNzZF] Usually people pull their license out of their wallet, they don't turn from the cop and go digging for it in their car seat. I can understand how a cop in high alert mode could think he was going in his car to grab a gun. Is the cop at fault in this scenario? Yeah, he was quick to judge but I feel the cop's action is within reason. [/quote] Hmmm.......... you feel strongly both ways, do you? He was quick to judge AND reasonable too? There is nothing "reasonable" about shooting an unarmed person who is not attacking you. Did the officer have reason to be concerned for his own safety? Of course. He drew his weapon and pointed it at the driver. He was ready for a confrontation if one was coming, but shooting was not called for. Why do so many cops value their own lives more than the people who they were hired to serve? Why are so many cops willing to hurt and kill other people if they feel threatened? What did they think they would feel when they took the job? Good judgement and courage are required to be a good police officer and this officer crossed the line by shooting when it was not required. [/quote] [b]Did the officer have reason to be concerned for his own safety? [/b] I believe the cop said he was being questioned due to a 'seatbelt violation'. Very unsafe thing to do. That sounds like reason enough. I mean, if the guy doesn't care about his own safety, he's just as likely to put a bullet in the cops head. Good call by the officer. Thinking ahead. [/quote] Well the trooper gave a direct command and the guy was completely compliant. The officer could have said get back it your vehicle, or step away from the vehicle and secured the situation before asking the guy to get his license. [/quote]
