Although the passenger was not holding a weapon, he had access to one (in glove compartment).
(So now we'll have a rhetorical "battle" over definition of what "armed" and "unarmed" is)
From the article:
Reid, 36, had spent about 13 years in prison for shooting at New Jersey State Police troopers when he was a teenager. He was also arrested last year on charges including drug possession and obstruction; Days was one of the arresting officers then.

I’m not all that comfortable with the police being to shoot anyone that has access to a weapon.
To: Colofornian
Looks like a good shot to me

Why was the cop pulling the door open if he didn’t want the passenger to get out of the car?

The video is not clear enough (to me) to see what the passenger was DOING inside the car ... the cop repeatedly commanded him not to move and it SOUNDED like the passenger was not being very co-operative ... but the video is (IMO) inconclusive about anything except the cop shot a passenger

Im not all that comfortable with the police being to shoot anyone that has access to a weapon. I agree. If the mere presence of a firearm, Nerf gun, Airsoft, glue gun, hose nozzle, or etc. is all that's needed to justify a police officer killing someone then it's a pretty logical step to making the conclusion that your life is in jeopardy every time you come into contact with a police officer.
But, of course, us peons can't justify shooting a police officer with the same excuse they use for shooting a peon:
"I was in fear for my life."

Wait...did I read that right?
A guy who spent 13 years in prison for shooting at police has a gun inches from his hands...but at no time was a threat to police because he had no weapon?
And since he was black...shot by a black officer...it was RAAAAACISM!

Isn’t there is something called the “Wingspan Rule” that applies to vehicle situations?

Good riddance, cop killer.

Bridgeton has always been a bad area since I can remember. It's a lot worse now. I grew up in Vineland,the next town over. Lots of old historical houses in Bridgeton. They have a nice little free zoo & park. Back in the 1960s we used to shop at Mr. Bigs department store.

The important thing is to crucify the cops. Nothing else matters until all police officers quit, anarchy reigns, rights are justifiably revoked in the name of public safety (There are still some to revoke) and we turn to our Dear Leaders in Washington for martial law. Only then will we have Justice, Fairness, and Peace. Only when the old, outmoded white imperialist capitalist systems collapse*, will we have peace. No Justice, No Peace!

December 30th? Black unarmed(?) vic? You’d have thought there would have been more publicized outrage by now. Good shoot or not, it’s cops against a saintly member of the community.

He gets a clear shot that way.
