His first move after being told to get back in the car was to move away from the car.I watched the video, it was clear that ER was compliant. he may not have moved as fast as he could,, but he was clearly scared for his life. He put his hands up and was non-threatening.
That is not complying.
He complied immediately after that.
If my job is pulling people over who may want to shoot me I see not complying and don’t let my guard down when they comply after hesitating to.
Doesn’t mean he did something wrong, it means he gave the officer reason to elevate his alertedness.
In real life when you feel that potential threat elevation it doesn’t go away because the second move was to comply.
It’s not like he shot him. He told him to get back in the car and told his dispatcher (not Roberts) that the suspect had not complied. The officer is alerting his dispatcher of the situation he is in. Would you prefer he tells the dispatcher “at first he didn’t comply then he did so I’m going to ignore the danger”.
