There's no racial angle. Always keeps you hands where a cop can see them on a traffic stop. I keep mine on the 12 o'clock spot on the wheel and always tell them where I'm reaching when In grab by license and other stuff.
Title is misleading...the officer clearly saw a gun in the glove box. There's nothing sympathetic about this death.
i don't think is going to be too big because:
1) The officer who killed him was Black(sounds like it) and
2)They had a fucking gun in the car and the departed didn't follow the officers explicit commands.

I find it funny that most of the people who go crazy over justice for this type of crap never even encounter cops much less get harassed by them!!

I guess it's "lucky" that the officer was black, otherwise the media would be a step closer to their race war.

If the race hustlers and SJWs were actually interested in preventing the deaths of young black men instead of exploiting them for political and ideological reasons, they would advocate for a massive campaign in the black community teaching people the correct way to interact with police officers.

I agree with the sentiment, but in this case the cop keeps repeating:
"You reach for something you're gonna be fuckin dead."
Don't know how it could possibly get any more clear than that.

That was the dumbest shit I've watched in a while. Why didn't he listen?
I will be checking my PMs weekly, so you can catch me there. I will not be posting.

Police officer didn't have much choice. Dude sprang out of that car too quickly, and he was way too close, for the cop to take the risk of shooting him in the leg or anything like that.
Stupid move. He got himself killed.

Cops shouldn't have pulled them over in the first place...

Got pulled over. I opened glove box before he came over to get documents.
He came and asked for it. He started yelling 'what is that?' I didn't know what he was talking about so i gave him huh? look. He said what's that!? and I saw he pulled out the gun little bit from the holster. I realized he was talking about the cologne. I told him it was a perfume First and showed it to him. I wonder what would have happened if I just grabbed it without telling him first (your natural reaction is to grab it first.)
Funny thing is it was Marc Jacobs BANG cologne lol

I think that the cop over-reacted. Of course it's no white on black crime, but it's a sign of our militarized times.
That said the guy behaved badly, if you have a weapon in the glove compartment, then you better tell it in advance and say that you won't reach into it because you don't want to give the cop a bad idea. He should not have left the car like that as well.
But I still think that cops now over-react more often than not. He should have stepped back a bit, maybe fired a warning shot. The guy had his hands up - yes it's possible that he might have had a different weapon on him, but so far he did not attack the cop.
It's clear that the cop was extremely trigger-happy and if you meet such a guy you better move slow and do everything he says or get shot.
Still - this scene would not happen in Switzerland or even Canada - it's getting worse and worse as economy goes to shit, police gets militarized and deliberately set against the population, illegal economy is getting bigger as jobs are harder to come by - all of it will fuel this madness.

Oookay from what I see, I'm not nearly as cool as a lot of you are with what the cop did.
First of all, he saw the gun and had the guy covered completely from that point. He reached in and clearly removed the gun from the car, you can see that plain as day in the video. So the only weapon he knows exists is out of the picture. Remember, the guy he shot was the passenger. He might not have even known the gun was there.
Then the cop continues to act like a fucking maniac, totally losing his cool while pointing his gun at the passenger, which probably was not helping the guy in the passenger seat remain calm. It's pretty obvious as soon as the cop pulled his gun, he was looking for any justification to shoot.
The passenger gets out with his hands clearly up, not displaying aggressive body language or moving toward the cop, and gets shot at least 5-6 times from what I could hear. Stupid to get out of the car, yes, but unless he had icewater in his veins I doubt he was thinking 100% clearly while the armed maniac was screaming at him that he was about to shoot him.
So, what am I to take away from this? That as soon as the cop thinks someone is armed, shooting that person is fair game as long as he screams a bunch first? The cop did nothing to keep the situation calm and everything to escalate it.
I carry a gun every day. It's on my person, in a strong side belt holster. I doubt I would survive an encounter with this cop, because as soon as he saw the gun (or was informed about it, as many places require concealed carriers to inform cops they're armed) he'd be wigging out and pointing his gun at me. He's exactly the kind of cop who would tell me to drop the gun--which is in the holster still--and then shoot me the second I touched it.
Bear in mind, I've been on both sides of the gun. I've had to deal with potentially armed and hostile people hundreds of times, and I've had police encounters while armed including one time when I was arrested by mistake while carrying a 1911. I never lost my shit or made things worse, and neither did the cops who were dealing with me. They were professionals of the highest caliber compared to the fucking clown in this video.

However, to address some of the discussion about warning shots, shooting in the leg, etc:
That stuff belongs in the movies, not real life.
Warning shots have their place in war zones, sure. I fired well over 1000 warning shots during my time as lead vehicle gunner in Iraq and during countless cordons when I had to warn people away. But they do not belong in a peacetime, civilian environment, because the bullets go somewhere, and may well end up hitting an innocent person. If it's time to shoot, shoot your target and shoot to stop.
Shooting for the leg is just silly too. For one thing, leg shots can easily be fatal. For another, you're probably going to miss, and where is that bullet going to go? Hope it doesn't hit Suzie the 9 year old down the street. Nope, when it's time to shoot you shoot for center of mass until the threat stops being a threat (which is not the same as shooting to kill).
