Felony - 
Most cops run the plates prior to approaching the suspect - they do that in every traffic stop as a rule. Cops most likely knew they were dealing with a violent felon before they approached shot him. There were multiple cops on scene. The fact that the wife LIED to the cops about him NOT having a gun. That explains why she kept saying "Keith, don't you do it, don't you do it!" Sounds like she knew exactly what was going to happen on her husband's part. They were married for 20 years, you get to know someone pretty well in that amount of time ....

BTW - your handle is Felony. Why is that? Sounds like you are bragging about being a no good loser thug felon. No wonder you don't want your fellow felons shot by LEO.
