COP ASKS MAN FOR LICENSE, SHOOTS HIM WHEN HE GOES TO GET IT

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.

Itchy trigger finger.
This guy needs to be working at Mickey Dee's.

I have a serious question! Why do cops feel so threatened by you getting out of your vehicle when pulled over.

I was pulled over once new the State Trooper vehicle so I got out but it was a newbie being trained by my friend whom was in the passenger seat. The newbie SHOUTING GET BACK IN THE CAR RETURN TO YOUR VEHICLE WITH HAND ON GUN. So I got back in the car and waited for him to approach the window.

I for one sure am thankful for them troopers to keep the safety on the street *or me and my family.
Shooting was justified !

Training. It all comes down to training. The police academy trains officers to think that the whole world is after them. It takes time for the new officers to have good situational awareness and street smarts. Why didn't your friend tell you that?

I used to work for the Dept. Of Public Safety. If these young men, state troopers, are this scared of being shot. They should to look for another line of work. Wimp, needed to be fired!

Training and control of the situation, that's why they yell at the top of their lungs to insert control, dominance, fear.

Troopers are usually the more level headed of the public servant along with Sheriffs,they're pretty straight forward and most even educated and personable.

Every law enforcement group has their inexperienced, power hungry nazis. The nazis are being inserted and groomed obviously, after they get back from the middle east, that was their training ground for the USA.

The good ones are bailing because all the bad ones are making them targets of hate and disrespect.

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.

Yes I thought that too he valued his own life rather than the life of bystanders and the guy he pulled over, he could have easily got behind the vehicle and still had the upper hand.

He blew it his whole carrier came down to this one incident.

I agree with most of what you said, but the Nazis are at the top. Every police chief and sheriff is working against the American People and working for the New World Order. They do the hiring. They do the training. They do the disciplining and the correcting.

If you don't like what the street officers are doing, look to the police chief and sheriff as the reason why.

Did the officer have reason to be concerned for his own safety?

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.

the victim was hit in the hip and will fully recover and probably receive a nice check to boot. the cop was fired.... maybe some other punishment follows? idk

its very fortunate no one else was hurt and most of all no one died. that this cop loses his career is minor... he needs to be in something else obviously.

that said... this was a mistake, albeit a bad one but still a mistake. there was no mal intent.... nothing for al sharpton to sink his teeth into.

those that hate cops will still hate cops, but i doubt they would want the job. for those quick to judge, maybe this is why some cops are edgy:

Ahh......... except I know more than you. I did that job for over 20 years. I have experienced far more than a single man reaching into his vehicle to retrieve his license and I never shot at anyone. Came close a few times with ARMED suspects.

Good judgement and courage. Nothing is more important than those things if you want to be a good police officer.

The cop should have called the vehicle tag in before exiting his own vehicle. Or he should have told the nice citizen to place his hands behind his head and drop to his knees in place, cuff him than figured it out.

This cop has no business in law enforcement.
