Rule 1 with talking to police in a car is always keep both hands on the stearing wheel at all times or keep you hands whare the officer can see them if in passenger or back seat rule 2 is always comply with the officer even if you are in the right and he is wrong take your Battle to the court Room the odds are better and you don't end up like Swiss cheese cause you reached for some chewing gum and the cop mistakes it for a loaded fire arm

From the video: The 26 year old was already facing illegal gun charges and if the cops found the gun he'd be going back to jail.
At least one clearly had a vest on marked POLICE
It's very likely they ran the plates, knew he was up on weapons charges, saw him not wearing a seatbelt and used that as a pretence to pull him over. End of the day he was a criminal doing criminal things who shot a cop first.
It seems like one of them was marked, but I can't tell if that vest had the same text on the front from the video.
I mostly agree with this, but still, there's some room to doubt that he knew they were cops.
Doesn't matter the reason they used he broke rule 1 keep your hands on wheel and rule 2 comply when asked he could of brought that up in court
Hard to bring anything up in court when you're dead. The cops know this.
It doesn't matter, but you're kind of avoiding the things that matter here. The other texts I highlighted show that he couldn't have known that they're actually police officers (I am assuming your rules don't apply to gangs) so he had no reason (according to this article) to comply.
When you can't tell that someone is a cop, the "rules" for handling a cop don't matter to you.
