It's perfectly fine... for a cop... to have a gun on someone who's already committed a crime. There's no reason to assume that they don't have a gun stashed somewhere else.
and the cherry on top, the cop is supposed to instruct you to turn off your vehicle before they approach.
???
Most of the time a cop can't instruct you to turn off the car before they approach. You're thinking of a felony stop where the cops all get out, point guns at the driver, and start barking orders from afar.
There's a difference between what a cop can do and what a cop should do. drawing a gun on a perp who is complying with a traffic stop and has their hands up is a great way to get them to freak out and escalate the situation into a dangerous one, as exemplified by this clip.
Regarding turning off your car, it's on the test to get your driver's license in most States. if you get stopped by a cop, you are supposed to keep your hands on the wheel and turn off the car. if you don't do this, they will instruct you to do so over the megaphone before they step out of their car.
the purpose for this is to prevent exactly what happens in this clip.
It's not required by state law in my state, and I normally see people not turning off their car on most traffic stops. Most of the time, turning off your car is nice thing to do, not a requirement.
