Indeed, this could very well be a case of "they are going to shoot me anyway, so I might as well fight back".
Okay, here is the evidence that the police shot at the man first as he was holding two empty hands still out the window in compliance with the orders given over the megaphone. The initial shot was fired at about time 4:57. The suspect instinctively seeks shelter in the vehicle, then for whatever reason, choses to arm himself and shoot back.

Trying to rationalize stupid choices much?
So, wouldn't you wait until ALL the facts came out to make a judgement all instead of a quick video clip?
a case of police shooting at a man that had no weapon in his hands

Since Strawman/SpecialSnowflake and CIC/me123 are unable or unwilling to represent honestly what I claim
1. at time video3/4:48, the suspect is complying and has two empty hands placed out the side window of the vehicle and down the side of the door. Video3 veers from the hands at his point, but in video1/0:14 to 0:18 you can see that the suspect continues to hold his empty hands still and outside the vehicle, just as ordered.
2. at time video3/4:58 and video1/0:18, the police shoot at him anyway, I hear one or maybe two shots <-----THIS IS A KEY EVENT, POLICE IS SHOOTING AT AN UNARMED MAN
3. at time video1/4:59 the suspect quickly retreats from his compliant position, in what a reasonable person would consider to be an instinctive reaction to the shot(s) fired.
4. the suspect then, for unknown reasons, decides to arm himself and exit the vehicle with a gun in his hand (AFAICT).

I hope none of these cops are put on paid leave pending a review of their handling of the situation.
Let's show Unity by insulting the Flag and Anthem at Football Games to stop Police Brutally being paid their salary when not charged with a crime.
That proves America is a racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, neocolonialist, etc. etc. dehumanizing country, according to Kaepernick.

Were they perhaps told from bystanders "this guy has a gun"? Perhaps they were told the guy is xyz and is deemed armed and dangerous"?
The cops went to pick him up originally as he was suspect for a homicide plus a previously convicted felon that did prison time, so the cops were already on guard. He decide to run, and the chase took place. Then, for many minutes after he stopped, he refused to follow the instructions of the cop. Go listen to the third video above.
Lastly, he exited his truck and fired one or two shots towards the cops. The rest is history.
Dan thinks that cops are target practice for black gangs.
Dude, you just had her at 9 years old in the other thread
errc saysIt's fucking dangerous as hell
Yes it is when you're a convicted felon and don't listen to the cops.
The moral of the story, don't break the law and listen to the cops and you won't end up dead like that guy. Can you do that?
What exactly is a person supposed to do when they find themselves in a situation where they are complying with The State (LEO) and dangling their empty hands out of the window (doing what they are told), and come to find it's a lie and they are taking fire?

Negro riots next, with liberal politicians denouncing law order society and bending knee in apologies.
Don't confuse me with yourself please.
Dan don't assume you have a brain, at least you don't seem to use it today. Real sad.

For several seconds it sounds like a war as about 50 rounds were fired after the suspect opened fire on Police.
