The bodycam footage is crazy. The cop did a great job defending himself after already being attacked.
God bless that officee
Why is everyone responding with angry emojis?
@Tommmygun I hope they’re angry at the suspect he was the one in the wrong. This was justifiable on behalf of the officer, ppls always try to blame the officers in every shooting they’re involved in.
Why did they let the suspect vehicle plates #EX70244 drive off the second time? Didn’t the officer hear the call made over the air fr that vehicle? The man walking on hwy and the suspect look identical alike as if they are twins.
