Mmmm, maybe yes and no.
When he is asked to lift his shirt he does what any of us would do, reaches for his waist band.
The officer corrects his instructions and the guy does comply with the method the officer prefers.
Now, the cop asks him to lift his shirt because he is concerned the guy has a gun tucked in his waistband. The officer is already sensitive and wary about hands in the waistband area.
Would not be the first time an officer jumped the gun, pardon the pun, and unloaded on an unarmed citizen who moved in the wrong way while trying to comply with an officers command.
And some cops know when to act for the cameras.
