Clearly there are exceptions to the rule when you are dealing with a copy who is trigger happy.
My advice, which I have heard from numerous lawyers giving talks, is to ask permission to do anything before you do it. If the cop asks for your license, ask them "Can I get into my vehicle to get it?", don't just assume you can. Likewise, if the license is in your pocket, ask "Can I reach into my pocket to get my license?" before you do so.
Whilst we shouldn't have to do these things, the fact that cops get shot at by armed civilians makes them wary of any sudden movements, so always be wary of how any action may look to a cop.
As a separate addition to the thread. My wife and I went and delivered some coffee and donuts to our local police station this morning. They were very grateful for the support. If you have the time and money, go show your support of the police by doing something similar.
No sorry. nobody deserves to die, because our nation is to fucking lazy to put the money into better non lethal training. I see nothing in that that would warrant that shooting. It is training our cops to fear the worst and shoot first.
