If this guy's accounts are accurate (and thats a big if) then the cop should be charged with murder.
Forgive me for doubting his story is 100% factually accurate.
As far as lessons for kids (which was mentioned earlier itt) mine would be if a cop pulls up and aggresively barks orders, if it doesnt endanger you comply (I.E> get out of the middle of the road in this case) If you feel you have been treated wrong lets address it in a professional manner when we are less likely to get shot.
I think that kind of comes with situational awareness. Same goes for a street interaction. Go in wrong neighborhood have a fender bedner get out cussing and screaming and threatening it is likely going to end up poorly.
LEO's should be held to a highr standard, but to assume they will react differently is obviously foolish
