No matter how big a tunnel visioned dipshit you are, you can watch the dashcam video to understand what happened in that case. The guy turned around quickly and reached into his truck and then spun back around just quickly and the cop fired. It wasn't like the cop was driving around shooting random people to produce cool youtube videos. The guy didn't have a gun in his hand but cops have to deal with people grabbing guns and shooting at them all the time. Cops are murdered all the time. He made a judgement call based on what was a perceived threat and was wrong.
Shit happens. Another case where someone was acting stupid in front of a cop and it caused a problem. If you get pulled over, don't get out, don't make an attempt to quickly dive back into the cab to grab something and then quickly jump back out in a manner which can easily be confused as being an armed threat.
Had the guy pulled a gun up and shot the cop in the face which could have just as easily happened, you wouldn't know or care about it.
The guy fully recovered... the cop was fired.
