There isn't any info in that article that should lead anyone to believe anything, really. It could be either way.
That article could easily just say "some shit happened with a cop and a guy, and the guy is dead" and it would be just as much information.
This about the only intelligent post in this thread.
Unless you guys have other sources, at this time, we all have no idea what went down between the guy and the cop.
For all we know the guy who got pulled over was about to push the detonate button in his pocket and had strapped himself with enough m-80s and water bottles full of infested South African crack-whore pussy juice to infect anyone blinking in a half mile radius with immediate eye herpes.
