The rider has both hands on the grips- how can he pull his own gun that quickly, and he did nothing to justify shooting as a self defense for the cop or bystanders.
A good lawyer for the rider might get this cop suspended or fired for breaking procedures, but the cop is probably trying to get the video thrown out of court on a technicality, because it shows illegal arrest procedure, by claiming that it was used illegally.
It would be fun to let the cop testify under oath in court first, then bring out the videotape evidence, which is why courts require that both sides see all of the legal evidence before a trial, so that witnesses do not look like total lying morons.
