My uneducated guess is because he was alone? Felony stops are super dangerous right? Better to wait till you have backup to have contact. I almost commented the same thing until I thought about it for a bit.
Too bad we don't get to see any evidence pointing to why we should call this afelonious stop. It's a complete assumption to jump to that conclusion and call it that. So farall of theevidence says this is a "stop and obey me or I'll kill you" thing rather than a righteous shoot.
The fact thatthe officer described the first part as an attempt at ramming shows what cops do to justify escalating use ofviolence. He did not try to ram the squad car or an officerat any point in the video.
If I were on a jury about this and this video was all I had to go on theshooter(s) would be in deep doodoo. I've had harder things to call than this one in a jury room.
