It depends on whether he exited the vehicle and/or pointed it at the officers. Then there's no time to wait.

He had ample warning.

If he had stepped out and pointed the gun it would be different. That does not seem to be the case. If the police have a video of that, release it.

What if the gun was legally in his possession, and the cops found it and planted it ?

Impossible, convicted felon....



The videos would show this...

I did......one can see a few things laying around and you can't tell what any of them are. Someone should be able to provide enhanced pictures soon.

What if a flying saucer came down and planted it? That's only slightly less likely in the heat of the moment.

It appears that he is a convicted felon with previous weapons charges, so he wouldn't likely be allowed to possess a firearm anyway.

I already stated. If he came out of the car with a gun in his hand and pointed it at someone it would be different.

I wish someone would teach people to take horizontal/landscape phone videos. Vertical/portrait mode really stinks.
