Maybe he was trying to use sign language and the cop thought he was throwing up gang signs.
An expected outcome for idiots behaving like idiots.
"In today's news, XX thousands of interactions with police occurred where people used common sense, behaved reasonably, answered some questions, then went about there life... One guy decided he wasn't going to do any of that shit and got shot because of his own actions by an human who also happens to be a police officer and desired to live more than give someone threatening him the benefit of the doubt... THE SYSTEM IS FUCKIN BROKE COPS KILL EVERYONE!"
The life of a US citizen must not be worth much, if people's lives get ended just like that.
"The driver exited his vehicle in the neighborhood and an "encounter took place" that led to a shot being fired, North Carolina State Highway Patrol spokesman Sergeant Michael Baker said in a statement."
It was a series of bad events. Had the man stayed in his car and let the cop approach things would have gone better. What do you want besides saying bad shit happened? Not stopping usually means they have something to hide or are running. Then to get out means they are a threat to the cop or others. It was a bad situation really just accept it.

It's very low. No official numbers on actual numbers of police shootings but the closest I found was close to 1000 people last year in America. ( again not official) and this year seems to be on target with that. Tens of millions of people are stopped every year for a traffic stop. Based on those very vague numbers , we can conclude that a very minute amount of people are shot by the police.

Having something to hide or running are not causes for summary execution. If getting out of your car means you are a threat, then how do you explain the fact that this guy wasn't a threat and got out of his car?

Yet the German police can somehow do their jobs while firing under 100 bullets in a year.
Cops put themselves in their own bad light with scandal after scandal. By tolerating bad cops. Allowing those bad cops to get away with rampant corruption and misconduct. Its sad when you can predict what went down before the videos even come out. And how many of those videos will be "lost" "damaged" "we don't know why is skipped 30 sec".
The deaf man was aggressive? Fucking taze him. Pepper Spray him, wait for backup. Running from the police isn't a death sentence. The police are not judges, juries, and executioners. They don't get to say "well I though he was a piece of shit so I shot him", they aren't allowed to say "well he was argumentative and combative so I shot him", the gun is for when their life is in danger, not when someone gave them a hard time.
Trained to defends themselves if fine, most people will agree. But when you're trained to use deadly force just because you're paranoid or can't be asked to try to deescalate a situation then something is wrong with your training.they're trained to defend themselves regardless of whether a physical weapon is seen or not.
I rather that we overinvestigate every police shooting to cover the officers ass when they weren't wrong and to cut down on police misconduct than to always to assume that the person shot somehow brought the bullet on themself.

No because the details are vague. An encounter can mean anything from a verbal exchange to a physical altercation. Also lots of people leave their vehicles when pulled over (they're not supposed to, agreed) and not all of them meet this fate. So yeah, something bad happened but we don't know exactly why it led to this.
You don't understand. You are talking to fascists. They LIKE that the police execute people for the most minor slight possible. It makes them HAPPY that things like this happen, because it demonstrates to them the existence of an intrinsic authority to kill, which they see as orderly and proper. They are demented. You can't be rational with them.
