Shocking police bodycam footage showed the fatal officer-involved shooting of an armed Afghan man during a traffic stop last month.
Jamal Wali, 36, was pulled over by a Fairfax, Virginia, police officer for an expired inspection tag last month when things turned deadly.
Wali informed the officer he was armed before going on an insane rant about how much he hates the United States.
At one point Wali, who was allegedly brought to the US in 2014 after working as an interpreter for the US forces, shouted, “I should have served with the f*cking Taliban!”
The officer called for backup after Wali refused to give ID and ‘reached for something.’
“Don’t reach for anything!” the officer warned before radioing in: “Subject is reaching.”
Wali grabbed his firearm and fired shots at the police officers on the driver’s side. Two officers were each hit in the arm with the same bullet.
As Wali tried to reload his gun, a police officer from the passenger’s side discharged his firearm and struck Wali.
Jamal Wali was transported to a hospital where he later died.
