A man in Fairfax, Virginia attacked a police officer in his police cruiser before finally being neutralized.
The officer appeared to be attempting to keep the man from getting into his vehicle at a gas station on Thursday. They fought inside the vehicle until it suddenly started driving in reverse, across the street and crashing into a parked vehicle in a McDonald’s parking lot.
Then we heard a series of gunshots that undoubtedly killed the man. The self defense action by the officer is obscured by his vehicle, so you don’t have to worry about seeing someone die.
Here’s the video:
