he literally did the opposite of what they said when he reached for his pants

I know two things about this
1 - I didn't see that so if you could point out when he does that it would be nice, thanks.
2 - I'm pretty sure that's not why they shot him, it was because he didn't do exactly what they said, and even if he was reaching for a gun 5-8 shots was unnecessary,

1.
2. police are trained to fire until the person is neutralized, and if he really had a weapon, shooting him once may not have sufficed to stop him

Mind sharing the timestamp? The imagine is too blurry and I honestly can't tell what he's doing.
And one thing I want to know is, do you really think if he was shot he would be able to pull a gun really fast out of wherever to shoot the police officer?

its not what we think, its police protocol. you can't ask police officers to (potentially) give up their lives for their job in the name of justice/benefit of the doubt - very very few would ever consider being one then. this guy was perceived as a dangerous threat, and they treated him as such.
and yes, people can be shot and still pull out a gun and shoot others. its not like one bullet will instantly kill/incapacitate a person no matter where it lands. and in tense situations, accuracy generally drops, if they missed the first shot they may not realize it until after the guy "pulls out a gun".
