A federal appeals court held up a lower court’s decision that Opelika, Ala., police officer Phillip Hancock acted reasonably when he shot Air Force veteran Michael Davidson in March 2014, according to reports.

Cops were responding to an accident in which Davidson swiped the back of the truck.
As Davidson pushes his way out of his SUV — which was parked on an incline — he fumbles with his wallet, passing it between his hands.
Hancock shouts “show me your hands” twice as Davidson steadies himself and holds up the black object.
That’s when two shots are heard going off. One hits the ground and another hits Davidson in his abdomen.
