I was scanning the article while, sure enough, I saw it:

> ...refused to obey...

Zero tolerance, zero patience.

That's according to the police on the scene who shot him. Also this is not the first time I've seen police claim someone they shot 'had his hands in his shirt'. Of course they can't claim he had something in his had if there's no physical object on the scene, so 'in his shirt' now seems to be the standard go-to phrase.
I'm glad you noticed this. It's also the basis of the recent United incident. "He refused to obey so he was a security threat."
According to a cop who fired shots and who, as always during such incidents, "forgets" to wear camera to backup his claims.
