RE: Post - "Jumpy state agents trained to shoot first and ask questions later"
In many circumstances of bad LE shooting I would agree with this statement. I watched the video. The guy gets out of car in an agressive manner - you NEVER get out of a car when stopped. The guy then lunges into the car and spins around.
CCW's in SC beware. Do not shoot anyone in self defense -- even if you are 100 % right. If they are willing to throw their own trooper under the bus then they will go after Joe CCW'er and try to put him in jail. This is NOT a Ferguson incident where the circumstances are not clear. This Trooper was JUSTIFIED. I would have done the same thing, but it would have been more than one round!
