You and I see that video differently. However as I said, this is a sidelight to the main point. Even if he was reaching, he does not deserve to be with the likes of George Floyd, Michael Brown, and all the other miscreant 'martyrs' Sure one can argue he had a tailight out or perhaps panicked and ignored the officer's instruction. JMHO that its a shame he is included with the rest of them.
In fact one could argue the behavior of BLM directtly contributed to his death as it probably caused the officer the be more 'jittery' due to hostility from certain groups. Doesn't excuse his panic, or mean his actions represent all police. Again, judge each one individually. I think a good guy got a bad rep, in this single instance only.
