IMO, after he warned the officer that he was carrying he should have sat still until the officer gave him specific instructions about how to proceed. If he said "I'm carrying" and started reaching for his wallet right away, the officer could very easily have misinterpreted his intentions.

None of us were there and did not see what happened in real time.

It's a damn shame that a man died, but it doesn't mean the officer had evil intentions.

Watching the video with the shot man on the seat is a nightmare. I just watched it in the News, but only for a couple of seconds. It was too unbearable.

That is why there is need for a sustain public education on establishing protocols for gun carrying civilians.

If he had a gun it wouldn't have happened , right La Pee Air?

Oh wait, he had a gun.
Oh wait, he had a concealed carry permit.
Oh wait, he told the murderer that he was reaching for his wallet just as the murderer told him to and he told the murderer he was doing.

Oh my god, he had a broken tailight, wow, a real danger to society, a school cafeteria manager with a family to support is going to really do something evil like shoot somebody at close range 4 times without cause.

This is a projection of a white filter. If only the black person had acted the way he should have he would still be alive.

How do you know he didn't do exactly what you said? And who here has the discipline to act in a certain way when we get pulled over? We don't because no matter who you are intimidated and nervous when a cop pulls you over.

I guess if you are an old white guy sitting behind a keyboard the world is a simple place to diagnose and rationalize.

I have a hard time thinking the man who was killed in Minnesota was a bad person. I mean he worked in a public school cafeteria. I mean at some point you have to reach for your wallet it is a natural inclination when you get pulled over. And the guy was not driving.

Did you miss my second paragraph, or did you just choose to ignore it?
