Again, the reason for the confrontation is meaningless. It is the action of the man that dictates the cop's action.
I'm sorry he got shot, but if a cop asks you to do something, acknowledge the request and announce everything you have to do to comply.
what the problem is?
You don't see anything wrong this scenario? Yikes.
The officer did NOT ask him to step him to step away from his vehicle, as is protocol when dealing with actual suspect. THEN the officer proceeded to ask "Can I see your license, please?". The man simply went to retrieve his license as the officer requested; He complied. This guy wasn't being arrested or questioned as a suspect for an actual crime. He was asked to produce documentation for ticketable offense.
"Dove" is a word the officer chose to use, because he knew he'd fucked up. He was grasping at straws at that point.
Trooper Sean Groubert's statement to his supervisor:
Quote:"I pulled him over for a seat-belt violation," Groubert said. "Before I could even get out of my car, he jumped out, stared at me, and as I jumped out of my car and identified myself as I approached him, he jumped head-first back into his car. I started retracting back towards the rear of his vehicle telling him, 'Look, get out of the car. Let me see your hands.' He jumped out of the car. I saw something black in his hands. I ran to the other side of the car yelling at him, and he kept coming towards me. Apparently, it was his wallet."http://www.wistv.com/story/26640394/offi...d-shooting
Police officers don't lie, though. Right?
Was he fuck!! At the speed he moved his body towards the car, it presented 2 scenarios to the police officer:
1. Either he was going to produce a weapon, as most people do when they live in fear of attack in their daily lives. It happens in Russia nearly everyday where guns/baseball bats and crowbars have been seen in road rage incidents on youtube.
2. Or he was trying to get away.
In this instance, the way he "dove", into the car gave me the impression that he had something to hide. Remember, if you have nothing to hide, as a citizen, you comply by saying "sure thing officer", and then move to the car in a calm and relaxed manner.
