https://twitter.com/cathpalmercares/status/1269657233262022656?s=20 is a link to the article of the strange turn of events in which a white police officer shot a young black man who had been pulled over for speeding but then was waiting in the back seat of the police car voluntarily for a tow truck. Apparently Maurice Gordon started to adjust his seatbelt and was told twice not to do so.

He was not under arrest or informed of the risk of getting out of the car that seemed to want to wait in rather than be on the side of the NJ Garden State Parkway.
