... He either was unable to comprehend the instructions, or he didn't wanted to follow them...
Which instruction did he not follow?
To stop moving and reaching inside the vehicle. There were many cases of a police officer being shot by a drunk or drugged driver. There are youtube clips of such attacks.
I think your opinion might change if you saw some of them.
When you stop a vehicle you can't see inside. The driver could as well have a body stashed in the trunk or be driving a stolen car. He could be an escaped convict, a terrorist, you don't know.
1) Very sure he was not told to "stop moving and reaching inside the vehicle". He was probably yelled different instructions by different people and was trying to just keep the cops from attacking him.
2) There are not "many cases of a police officer being shot by a drunk or drugged driver". There are something like a million cops in the U.S., so there are going to be some shot by a drunk, even going to be a few cops getting bitten by bats or stepping in potholes and twisting their ankles. Policing in the United States is a very safe job, about the same as truckdriving. A person who needs to shoot anybody who might possibly be or become a threat needs to be a soldier, where there are no cameras, rather than a cop. Then when he gets back he can become a cop.
Here is what most likely happened.
Lady cop with her gun out "Mr Black man get in your car"
Black man "Maam, my car broke down, I..."
Lady cop "GET IN THE CAR. GET IN THE CAR NOW."
Lady cop on radio "Code 20 Subject is not cooperating I need backup and a helicopter asap"
Black man "Maam, My car broke down. I was driving back from..."
Lady cop "GET IN YOUR CAR NOW. GET BACK IN YOUR CAR"
Lady cop on radio "Code 571 Situation is escalating, Send 2 helicopters and a tank".
