Jamal Wali made several poor choices. This all started when he blasted through a radar speed trap. He was chased and eventually stopped and then refused to provide DL, registration and ID, all while open carrying. It went downhill from there.

I can’t find any info about this guy on the internet.

Thank you officer #3.

[Apparatchik]

I think these officers should be given some kind of financial bonus for saving the government the expense of incarcerating and trying these scumbags, which has to cost several hundred thousand dollars.

Oh, and send his family a bill for the price of the ammo used.
