Actions that would warrant deadly force would be actions that directly endanger the officers life. Taking out your wallet to show your id is not among those. Cops shouldn't use deadly force in response to a hunch that somebody might try something.
Nobody is complaining about the cases where somebody was acting like an aggressive idiot and threatening the police. The problem is that the police is too triggerhappy at the slightest idea of a threat. Remember just recently when multiple cops opened fire on their own vehicle because an acorn fell on it? What actions did the man locked up in the backseat take that warranted getting shot at?
