...man killed by NJ police

When a cop tells you not to move it's probably wise to listen to him/her. This individual apparently thought otherwise...

Seen this video many times today......Gonna be interesting to watch this one.

arguments for both sides. Fool shoulda listened, cops shoulda had more sense.

What should/could the cop have done differently? Remember, he knew the dead guy and his past...

Watch his hands. It's always the hands and eyes. If the hands drop below the shoulders quickly, kill him

Yes of course you should always listen to the police, no argument there. But it seems Reid decided to do something he thought was in everyone's best interest, getting out and getting on the ground. To get shot like he did for that... very gray area in my opinion.

Going to be interesting to see this thing develop. With the way things are right now and the climate around police officers actions were every little thing is scrutinized ad nauseum, I would not be surprised to see this officer be put through the wringer.

This^^^^

Next time Brownie comes to town for training attend his class. (I choose Brownie here because I know his abilities) Ask him to play the role of a BG. Stand in front of him, while holding a blue gun, at an open car door and demand he not move. Have him exit the vehicle, against your orders, while raising his hands as happened in this scenario. See what happens next....

I am a little disappointed with Fox news because they cut the video to show the shooting before the non-compliance of the BG. Show it as it developed and the context or you only get an editors view of a situation.

Guy you know has at least one gun nearby decides to push the passenger door open despite being told not to move. His hands were still close to his body unlike the driver who had both arms out the window and had one arm restrained at least once by the officer. Seems like the passenger thought he was in control of the situation and was going to dictate where and how he would act. Not smart with a gun pointed at you.

I understand where you're going with this Howard and you're right about hands, but Days could've stepped back with no problem and give Reid one last chance while watching him get on the ground. Let me state this clearly, I AGREE WITH EVERYONE HERE, IT WAS A POOR DECISION TO GET OUT OF THE CAR, BUT REID STATED HIS INTENTIONS VERY CLEARLY, REPEATEDLY. I con only imagine how hard the profession has turned out to be with the climate around LEOs as of lately, hence why he should've afforded Reid a chance to deliver on his promise to get on the ground. Worley had Days covered as he was behind Reid.

I know you can snatch someone's gun from up to 6' away, I've trained with Brownie both H2H and Quick Kill. Still gray area for a police officer IMO. Reid clearly stated his intentions over and over, clearly in an effort to de-escalate and do what HE THOUGHT (wrong IMO) was safest for everyone involved. I still don't quite understand why Worley, the white cop covering the driver side, had to shoot Reid in the back as it almost looked as knee-jerk reaction. Worley may be in more trouble than Days (black cop who shot Reid 6 times).

We'll see how all this plays out. I would be very nervous about this if I was Days or Worley, just sayin'...
