        This information does not justify shooting and killing someone.

        and what if that was a gun ? The officer doesn't have time to see what idiot would point any object at him .

        Are you joking? It wasn't a gun. Are you saying cops should shot anyone that point anything at them because "what if it was a gun"?

        Next time I get pulled over, I'll definitely let the cop know I'm carrying an e-cig and know how to use it.

        looks like suicide by cop. He tried to look & act as if he was aiming a weapon. It's tragic, poor guy had mental health issues
