I would like to know what the investigation turns up to see if there is history between this person and the officer, or if this guy has had previous incidents with this or any police department. This guy looked to have some sort of body armor on, or some sort of pack. As he fell after being shot things started to eject from this guys person. I would like to know what kind of objects these were.
He may not have been trying a suicide by cop, but it clearly, to me, looks as if this guy was prepared and had planned to do something like this.
In his haste to surprise the office and possibly do fatal harm to him, he fails to secure his vehicle properly. Taking the surprise attack advantage away, giving the officer time to react quickly from his training.
The background of this guy, to me, I'm sure will give many answers to why this occurred.
His choice of weapon is odd to say the least. The passing of recent new laws may have caused this guy to loose some firearms and "flip out"?
Wanting to take revenge on law enforcement officers.
Law enforcement officers are too often to blame for actions of politicians that are not as easy accessible.
To me it looked as if this guy had planned to do something beginning his day. And he was looking for and opportunity and found one.
To me he was clearly out to do fatal harm if he could.
This will forever be on the officers mind and will no doubt effect his life, as will it the people in the vehicle pulled over for a traffic violation. I hope that no children were in the vehicle!
I can't imagine witnessing an event like this from any perspective. But I live in a peaceful small rural town, and enjoy the absents of such insanity.
