Oh please, I don't believe for a minute the police were looking for an excuse to shoot him by telling him to get his papers. They aren't Gestapo and they aren't the Argentinian police. You can see from the phone video he's not cooperating and isn't "not doin nuttin", he's not cooperating and escalating the situation and for all we know made a grab for the cops weapons when he lunged for the car door.
Taze him, kick his feet out from under him as he's walking away? Do you think that would have been perceived as anything other than police brutality? I'm sorry he's been shot and likely paralyzed, but I hold him largely responsible for that by his own behavior.
