Would have been awesome if the driver would have said "My license is in my vehicle is it ok to reach in and get it?" before doing so because it is impossible to tell if he is reaching for a license or a weapon from the angle of the camera. We know now it was a license and fortunately he wasn't killed. Cop shoulda been fired, not the right line of work for him
You know... I'm
somewhat agreeing with you here. He should have done it because many (most?) cops are way too quick to draw and their fingers are much too itchy. But at the same time, how fucked up is it that we are at the point that when interacting with police, we need to ask for permission to do anything - even follow orders. And even if he did, I doubt it'd change anything.

- "You may."
- "Thank you Excellence! I am slowly reaching into my vehicle. May I now remove it from my wallet?"
- "I grow tired of your delays peasant. Produce your ID now!"
- "Yes your Imperial Highness. Immediately."
Opens wallet to remove ID- "HANDS UP! HANDS UP guy! HELP! DISPATCH, I'M BEING ATTACKED."
BANG! BANG!- "DISPATCH, SHOTS FIRED, SHOTS FIRED!"
BANG! BANG! BANG!- "Your Majesty... I was only doing as you commanded!"
- "SHUT UP, HANDS UP! BEHIND YOUR BACK."
Officer hits suspect- "STOP RESISTING AND DON'T
FUCKING BLEED ON MY UNIFORM!"
- "My apologies majesty. I will stop bleeding profusely from the wounds you inflicted to avoid staining your Royal vestments."
- "See what happens when you disobey the cops?"
- "I am sorry your majesty! Might I take leave to attend to my wounds at a local hospital."
- "You stay right the fuck down there and do as you're told."
- "Yes Majesty."
