Saw this video earlier and noticed something. It says the stop was initiated due to no license plate light, but doesn't it look fairly lit? I thought at first it was reflecting from the officers headlights, but then I restarted the video and it seems like the plate is already fairly bright before the officer pulls behind him. This makes no difference in the result of the stop, just an observation. I also had a hard time figuring out who was doing the shooting and when. Did the Taurus driver get any shots off, or were those all the officers shots? Just trying to understand the situation. Looks like the choice to engage the passenger window was the right one.
P.S. He definitely messed his pants.
