Zachary Khabir Anam. Picture says it all. Long criminal history and illegally in possession of a gun. But, hey, he was such a "good guy", a dindu nuffin, who didn't have to rob and steal as he lived in an upscale neighborhood. Stupid cops were lucky he didn't blow their heads off.

He was in the patrol for shoplifting and possession of illegal drugs. There was some question on his identity and later found to have several felony warrants out for him.

I don’t get it. Were they afraid they would forget?

Zachary Khabir Anam?

I wonder which “faith” group he is an adherent of.

Happened in AR. BIG NEWS with the BLM types (before it was BLM). Thug Chavis Carter blew his head off while handcuffed in back of patrol car (and thus saved taxpayers millions)

Well, there’s a troubling commentary.

Yes, sounds like both cases saved the taxpayers some time and money along with future heartache.

Anyone want to bet that he intended to shoot the cop and managed to shoot himself accidentally?

Boston Bomber was my first thought, too. Both showed their stupidity at the same age.

He was a good boy. He loved his momma. He was the nicest guy you would ever meet. He always had a smile on his face. He would give you the shirt off his back. He just got in with the wrong crowd. etc.. etc... etc...

Don’t forget, “He was really looking forward to starting med school. He really wanted to be a heart surgeon”

Saved us the cost of trial and incarceration.
They do need to find out why he still had a gun on him before being placed in the squad car.
Mistakes like that could have cost an officer their life.
