Watched the video and read all the comments on this thread.

It appears to me the driver was complying with the command given. This business about "moving too fast" is not a credible argument for justifying the shooting. How slow do you want me to move? Ultra-slo-mo? Any speed below "snail" required?

The other side of the coin is if the driver had hesitated, the officer may have interpreted that as a failure to comply and proceed with another form of physical violence.

With this trooper as skittish as he seemed on the video, the driver was apparently not going to get out of this stop unscathed in one form or another.

Kudos to the SCHP for moving fast on this and not allowing the appearance of a cover-up to be suspected.

The trooper should be on trial for this - poor judgement and poor responses. Now, as to whether a jury will convict him is another matter.
