At that exact moment, a police officer had his gun drawn and pointed at this person. He has two options - do exactly as told OR get shot. There is no discussion about this. There is no leeway about this. There is no guess work involved. Do as you are told or get shot; It's just that fucking simple.

He wasn't "standing there with his hands up". He was armed, failing to follow directions, got out of the car, and was approaching the officer - after the police officer told him he was going to get shot. It's not like he didn't have a dozen warnings from the officer.

This is very simple. When a police officer has their firearm in their hand is threatening to shoot you.... You do as you are told. You do exactly as you are told. If not, you get shot. It's that simple.
