The case described in the opening of the story is one in which a police officer told a motorist to remove his hand from his pocket and them shot him when he complied.

Cop would have done better to

1) Told the motorist to not move when he reached in his pocket.

2) Cop moves back so that he is not easily targetable.

3) Cop tells the motorist, "Now, slowly, I want to see your empty hands out the window of the car."
