Do you have a source for that number being a regular traffic stop? I find that highly unbelievable.

Don't shoot at the cops.
Vouched for the sibling reply calling this misinformation because per the police chief himself (as of two days ago) Jayland Walker was unarmed.

Go back and read the article I responded to. It says he shot at police during the pursuit and there is a picture of the gun found in the car. It was reasonable given the circumstances to assume he was armed when he turned and they opened fire.
Fair enough, if you believe extrajudicial execution is a fair punishment for any crime committed earlier there's no point in my arguing further.
