Cops should have waited for him to pull out a weapon before killing the guy. For all they know he could have had a medical condition and he was going for his meds.

It seems like cops are too scared and just shoot "just in case" .. well I think the cop in this video who shot him should be fired. If your too scared to confront bad guys then why would you be a cop? duh.
Now consider this please:
He stops in the middle of a road and endangers other drivers and himself.
He doesn't respond to questions and commands, looks like on drugs.
If he wanted to go for his meds there were many ways of showing it.

I think the officer had the right to shoot, but he could at make the shot non-lethal. He could aim at a leg or a shoulder.

You right, next time I see someone pulled over the side of the road I'm gonna plow that fucker down .. just in case.. Smiley

I don't think the cops should be allowed to kill someone that isn't directly threatening their lives. Otherwise its murder like it would be for you or me. Cops are not above us they are the same when it comes to the law.
