Going to be surprising but I have little problem with what the police officer did in this situation. Actually my bigger issue is that CPS was so quick to chime in on this when they rarely if ever address the big issues.
I saw a cyclist blow through a stop sign, at night, without lights, dressed in black clothing with nothing reflective. I almost hit him. When I pulled up to him I let him know that "is a good way to get hit". I wasn't threatening him, I was warning him. This is what the officer did.
Getting out of your car to remove something from the back of your cab while the police have you pulled over is a good way to get shot. Certainly increases your chances from 0.00000000000001 to far far higher.
