So shooting him was an honest mistake??? Again, there is only one valid reason to take a person's life during a traffic stop, and that's if he posed a threat to the officer or not. A case of mistaken identity is not an excuse.
I think the standard is whether or not a reasonable officer would have THOUGHT there was a threat.
