Cops may have overreacted to his delay in pulling over, but he then began disregarding simple instructions. For all the driver knew, he had been mistakenly identified as a murderer. Hunkering down in your car isn't going to be the healthiest option under those circumstances.
Did you watch the same video I did?
"Keep your hands out the window!" "Open the door!"
Can't do both. They were conflicting orders. Dollars to donuts if he'd reached inside to take his seatbelt off and unlock the door, they've shot him. The LT did the right thing.
I caught that, too. Fault on both sides, for sure.

If by “both sides” you mean both cops, then I agree.
Intellectual honesty is the most important character trait in human beings.
