I'd have to go with the officer on this one.

Luckily the guy didn't die. But bringing his hands together holding a dark object like that was just plain stupid.

The guy was exiting his car at an angle. The police officer was responding to a minor traffic accident. Do we want to hire individuals who actively seek out confrontation and violence at minor traffic stops?

Excuse me?

He was holding his wallet with two hands in such a way it looked like he was lining up and pointing a handgun.

People should use a little common sense and not act erratically in a threatening manner in situations like that.

And have a little empathy for the policeman. If the guy did have two hands on a handgun and was in that position there was little time to react.

Minor traffic accident? Guy was reported driving erratically and then hit another vehicle. The driver then gets out of the vehicle and does what is described above.

Sorry, but the fault here does not lie with the officer.

It's really good though that a video captured this so the officer was exonerated.

And I'm not saying that there are not occasions where officers are clearly in the wrong or unjustly heavy handed. I do indeed thing there is a huge problem in our country with this issue. This incident is not one of them though.

You're out of your mind. I'm not going to address it. You shouldn't get shot at minor traffic accidents. He left the car expecting to exchange paperwork, not to be engaged by a trigger-happy cop.

Are police above the law? Would you be able to justify similar actions if involved in a similar situation but without a badge?
