Listen to the police or not, which none of us heard exactly what they said, there’s no excuse for this. It shouldn’t be, “listen to what we say or we’ll shoot you in the back, even though you don’t have a gun or knife.” The guy didn’t go anywhere, and he had THREE KIDS in the back of the car. So now you’re saying that it’s as simple as just listening, and has nothing to do with SOME, not all, trigger happy LEOs.

I am sure there was a reason send 7 officers.
How did they know what the guy was reaching for? If he would have said the reason would have been a rather different outcome.
Just because there was 3 kids in the back how would they know if he was reaching for a weapon?
