I believe I heard him say that since he can't produce a license he's going to have a look around and goes to open his door. - Krusty Jul 29, 14:01 17
- Not really, he asked him to take off the seat belt and then he pulled the door. - tobor.2 Jul 29, 14:06 14
  - Thanks, I had seen a transcript of the encounter. I could hear the cop better than the guy. - Krusty Jul 29, 14:18
  - And one thing he should have done is politely explain what he was going to do before he did it. -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 14:07 9
    - For sure and both parties did things incorrectly - zork Jul 29, 14:10 8
      - Proper procedure is proper procedure. The cop didn't follow it. -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 14:13 7
        
        I'm not a cop but I'm not sure that he did anything wrong before firing the shot. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 14:15 6
        
        I don't think anyone has said he did anything inappropriate until that point, except not communicating well. -- (edited) - b. Jul 29, 14:20
        
        Pulling the door without announcing his intentions was one. -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 14:19 2
        
        Not sure that is correct in this situation. Sometimes cops need to put politeness aside and take charge. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 14:22 1
        
        It isn't necessarily politeness, but announcing intentions before doing something is proper procedure. -- (edited) - tobor.2 Jul 29, 14:26
        
        Well, he pulled his gun ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 14:16 1
        
        In the US, that seems to be one combined action. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 14:17
  - Sounds like the officer was ... tense. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 14:07 2
    - Go stand in the corner -- nm - zork Jul 29, 14:08 1
      - Oh no I've said too much ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 14:10
- I'm so glad that I'm not a cop. When I make mistakes, I don't have to worry about someone losing their life. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 14:03 1
  - Or a doctor/paramedic. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 14:06
