5. So Many Things Went Wrong

Most telling was to start to drive away with a gun pointed at your head. The officer should have known the car was a rental from the license plate. Were the toll drive offs from this rent or an earlier rent? Kind of important. Why did the stop to fatal shot happen so fast (within seconds). The cop appeared to quickly go from unpaid tolls to looking for drugs (weed) instantly. The cop ran the plates before the stop. How else would he know that there were unpaid tolls? How do the officer determine which plates to run. What they should be asking is “was this a driving while black” case? Still, the driver driving off is a big error in judgement.
