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.

The guy didn't want him looking around in his car and says no while closing his car door. Then shit goes wrong.

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
