In any traffic stop where the doors fly open and occupants start spilling out, the cop would be pretty dumb not to draw his weapon. The recent events in Oakland should make that pretty obvious.
This cop obviously screwed the pooch here but taking out his sidearm was not wrong in any way. I bet you would have a hard time finding a cop that would fault him for that. His subsequent actions are where he was out of line.
