Cops are shot and killed at routine traffic stops all the time. This was a stop of somebody not just breaking a traffic law, but endangering the lives of others around them. The moron on the bike has already proven that he does not care about other people; the officer here did the smart thing, pull your weapon, have it at ready, and holster it when the situation is under control.

The punk on the motorcycle needs a good beating in my opinion.
