This video shows what not to do when you are pulled over by a police officer and are carrying a weapon. In my opinion, this tragic event could have been prevented by simply following the officer's clear and simple instructions. The officer seemed calm until he saw him reach for the weapon.
Prayers to the families and everyone involved in this unfortunate event.

What evidence do you have that the man was doing nothing but reaching for his license as instructed and not a weapon? Why inform the Officer you are armed and then reach for the weapon? I see an Officer over reacting.
What evidence do you have that the driver wasn't reaching for a gun? On what do you base your opinion that the officer overreacted? The only person who saw inside that car was the officer.
The jury heard the evidence, we didn't.

From the video from inside the car no gun was shown unholstered and the girl friend said he was reaching for his license.
If he had allowed it to be upholstered, it would have been too late.
