I work in an office building on that very corner, and this is the 3rd muder in the area within 10 months. It's a lousy area. If anyone pulls a gun on a cop, they absolutely deserve what's coming to them. This man was drunk. Perhaps it was "suicide by cop."

Hey, the guy got out of the car with a gun. Good call officer.
If I were a cop and it's him or me believe me I'd shoot first
too.

Hang his cold, dead, rotting, stinking corpse from the nearest lamp post as a warning to the other mojados that this type of behavior will not be tolerated.

Yea CHP! Get the drunk scum off the streets. Only a moron would pull a gun on a cop.

[Juanitos Opinion]

all comments seem to be in line with the simple fact, "what was he thinking,???????"
Oh yeah I forgot he wasnt thinking. Straight up loser better off not here, he was probably headed to rob a liquor store, or to do a drunk home invasion where everyone gets shot for 50 bucks and a Seiko watch.
good riddance unfortunately.I hope its a cremation, save the family some money, or are they going to go to the cemetary and have a party there every Thursday? What the !#$^

Better him than some innocent motorist. It probably was not his first time out there drinking and driving either.
