Those concerns serve to emphasize the fact that making a night-time traffic stop on a quiet road while working alone for something as trivial as a crooked front license plate is unnecessarily jeopardizing one's safety. The reason it is done is the hope of finding cause to make a felony arrest, such as drugs, DUI, etc. It is what motivates many traffic stops. Cops refer to it as "going fishing" and it does account for many felony arrests.[...]
Windbag, the cop was very patient, he was acting within his dept. policy and his training. Every cop has been trained and counseled that every traffic stop can go bad in a second. Do you know if the fool was armed? firearms today can be as small as cell phone or a pack of smokes, hidden in a belt buckle or a hat.
Did the officer know if the fool was alone in the car? was someone hidding in the vehicle with a firearm waiting for the officer to be distracted? Were the fools movements meant to distract the officer so an accomplish might get off a round or two?
Better he wasn't stopped in the first place. There was no good reason for it.Get back in your car, dumbshit

Simple Justice: The First Rule of Policing: A Demonstration
I tend to agree with the idea that the police need to protect themselves first, but this had obviously reached the point where the guy was not a danger to anyone, and there was no need to use force to walk away from the encounter safely. The cop could simply have explained to the otherwise law abiding citizen that he was pulled over because his front license was crooked. Instead he shot him with a deadly weapon.
Great comeback.
Prove me wrong. The video clearly shows a guy in the wrong. illustrate your position with law.
How about facts?
The city has already settled the lawsuit.
It would have helped if the cop had answered his question

Liar. He had NO reason not to comply. The Officer's demand was not some fanatical bs you suggest. It was protocol and safety.
