#1 The best description of what happened are found in the case documents embedded in the article; the brief, the reply, and the SCOTUS summary. It basically is a "he said, he said" case and who's version do you believe. There were three others in the car with Salazar-Limon; Officer Thompson faced a potentially very dangerous situation. The SCOTUS majority decision hinged on whether Salazar-Limon reached into his waistband; a fact he did not deny. Things for Officer Thompson could have easily gone the way they did for Constable Darrell Lunsford - Nacogdoches County, Texas.
