I'm going to make prediction, and all you social justice warriors who think cops go out every day putting on their pants with an intent to kill a black man can hear me now and believe me later.

These two were high as a kite on something. That explains her flat affect after having watched her boyfriend get shot. She was acting strange as hell. It would also explain his ineffective attempt to disclose he has a gun while also stupidly reaching for his wallet - he did something irrational because he was high. And they got pulled over because he was driving erratically - not some busted tail light. And no one had any machine guns - how absurd.

I'll also add that little girl almost certainly spent the night in the company of a social worker while her mother was questioned about the incident - perhaps after she got sober. Maybe at the jail, but not "in jail" as if in prison. That would be totally normal protocol.

Now, does that make it good shoot. Probably not. Officer Quickdraw probably should have been a little more patient and not so jumpy. But that is an easy observation to make in hindsight when you've never been at the window of a car where a guy tells you he has a gun while reaching in his pocket. He will get hit with a manslaughter charge and get his life ruined.
