FoxNews just showed this amazing cam footage.
Glad that the officer was only wounded, and pray for her full recovery....and, that the perp gang member got his reward.
Lemme guess, CA.....this guy is an ILLEGAL....attempting to brazenly kill a police officer.
Is the DNC going to start protesting?
Well, there’s one less sh*thead in the world. That’s a positive.
We don’t pay cops enough.
Definitely helps explain why cops are constantly on-edge, even when you’re acting politely. He was very cooperative, and showing his hands constantly... right up until the moment he shot the female officer.
Great shooting by the cop...neutralized him quickly without panicking.
Democrats will be happy, he still gets to vote from the grave...
How stupid is that? Exit the car to shoot a cop with another cop already pointing a gun at you.
The worm is dead.
Things happen FAST.

Why did they stop the vehicle in the first place?
Glad the officers survived.
What’s the old saying about not carrying a caliber that doesn’t begin with a 4 or larger?
The bodycam of the second officer really shows how FAST a situation can change (become deadly). In an INSTANT (fraction of a second) the situation went from a friendly (officer and perp knew each other) conversation to one officer down and the perp firing on the second officer.
The split second reaction of the second officer probably saved BOTH officer’s lives.
I love that when the second officer went to cuff the probably dead guy, he said under his breath, “fuck you”.
Blue lives matter! Gang bangers, not so much.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes ...
While I don’t know the reason for the initial stop - which is a vital piece of information - this appears to be a tactically and procedurally sound traffic infraction car-stop.
If the officers knew the driver was wanted on a warrant or had just committed a crime, in other words they knew in advance the encounter would end in an arrest, they would not have approached the vehicle. In such a case, they would have used the PA in their squad car - while staying at a safe distance - to order the suspect out of the vehicle with his hands up.
If this was, as I suspect, a “routine” traffic stop, they did a terrific job.
It was justified to me, because the officer couldn't the perp as he laid on the ground, and his partner was still in view of the perp.
It is these sort of sudden ambush shootings that make cops very nervous when the suspect doesn't immediately obey commands.
