    I saw someone post that the guy who was shot had shot at police officers before and both of the individuals knew each other... Don't know how true that is but he was warned multiple times.

    But the cop on the drivers side may be the one who gets a little heat. He could have shot his partner if he missed.

    Well there was a white person present, they might just blame it all on him. You never know with that crowd, they aren't exactly the brightest peanut in the turd.

    Um....there has been some protest. The shooting will be ruled justifiable because the guy didn't follow instructions and a guy was already pulled from the car. The driver followed instructions and was not shot.

    This video illustrates why body cameras and dash cameras are so supported by police. This incident, without video, could have led to the Al Sharptons of the world taking it and running to the media with lies. Instead, we see an obvious threat to the police from the passenger's disobedience. This is a justified shooting in every sense, as was Michael Brown in Ferguson. No riots, no extortion, no looting, no ignorant accusations from protesters. The police have nothing to hide -- they are trained professionals doing their job every day, despite significant risks. They do their jobs with honor and deserve respect from all. The sad reality is that most of the people protesting are the ones that the police take risks to protect.

    The quote below from Isaac Asimov comes to mind when I read so many Obama voters' opinions. The Obama coalition is littered with very vocal, low information voters. We have extraordinarily weak leadership in the oval office as a result.

    “Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”

    I don't know about you, but if a cop is telling me not to move then I'm not going to lean towards the center console and then jump out of the car.
