It looks very much like he was going to the vehicle to get a weapon. He should have cooperated with the police. I think it was a reasonable, legal shooting. He got what he earned by his own stupidity and hostility.

Instead of pointing your weapon at him while pulling his shirt. Holster your weapon and take him to the ground if you would like to have control of the person.
But, none of us were there and non of us know what happened leading up to it. So, let the evidence come forward and allow an investigation to be completed by people who’s job it is to investigate these things.
Hopefully the facts will rule the day.

So some of you think it's ok for police to shoot someone if they don't comply ?
Or if they " might " have a gun ?
If this is ok then alot more people gonna get it in the back ....lol
Its never 'ok' to shoot someone because they didnt comply, but if there is a chance that they are going for a gun then the gloves come off. Unless you have been in a situation like that you cant imagine how fast things move. You have mili seconds to make a decision. It could be life or death for you. Mistakes can be fatal. I believe the police should get the benefit of the doubt. The first thing that you always see is the perp being combative...hes already crossed the line so who knows whats next. In every single one of these incidents the perp was combative. Instead of blaming the police why dont people understand that if everyone would give the police the respect they deserve these shootings would be a thing of the past?
Watch that video, that is why the idiot in Wisconsin got ventilated.
Not even comparable
Of course it is, the suspect is going to the vehicle against the officers orders, he has a felony warrant out, he is involved in a domestic, the cops have no idea whos kids are in the car.

So AntiGov how did you reach your conclusion when no one has any facts yet? Nothing has been released other than a 20 second video. You don't know what happened, I don't know what happened. A little early to make a decision. The only thing I do know is that he had a warrant for a 3rd degree sexual assault. Obviously a felony and I know by watching the video that he was not complying with lawful orders. Other than that no one knows buccus yet.

I agree Finster , I may have jumped the gun .....lol
I'm guessing if he had reached in the car and a gun was visible it wouldn't be kept a secret , and he would have gotten what he deserved.
I'm not sticking up for the dirt bag , there were several cops there and they could've just beat him down.
My point is that it just can't be acceptable to shoot someone because they " might " have a gun

Don’t be to quick to judge he said he was going to hi car to get a gun and was reaching for something when he was shot. Police shouldn’t have to let the other guy to shoot first. When are they going to teach there children to comply. There has never been a suspect shot that was not resisting.
