That is exactly what the video showed.
Instead of just walking up to the vehicle to request the registration the officer pulled his weapon for a "felony traffic stop" and ordered the guy out of the car.
If the guy really did put on his turn signal and drive at or below the speed limit for less than a mile to the gas station then the cop was nuts to act like that.
The guy was holding his hands out the window as he was being ordered to do. If I was him I would have bee scared to death to take my hands back inside the vehicle in order to open the door. That is when he could have been shot for "reaching for a weapon".
People are much more willing to cooperate with police when they don't act crazy.
None of this had to happen if the police just handled this the proper way. Just walk up to the driver and request his registration.
