Looked to me like he had already been shot and fell out.

Idk to me it seemed like he was trying to crawl out and was trying to cover his face as he was doing it

Wow. RIP driver. This is awful.

the story on the front page says that 4 people were killed, 2 suspects, the driver, and an idle bystander, so looks like the good old boys in blue took out one of the motorists on the highway with their spray and pray as well.

This is absolutely horrible! You can see the driver trying to escape head first down the passenger side steps only to be hit multiple times.

RIP to our brother...

I thought the hijacker was trying to use the driver as a shield.

You would think he would be in front of the guy then not in the back of him. Idk no matter what this is sad as hell.

Is there no hostage training anymore? I have little faith in law enforcement. They'll never just say 'we made a mistake'. Always full of excuses. That truck has to have had 300 bullet holes through each and every direction. Yet school shooters and such escape with barely a scratch.

If you watch the video it really looks like the cops just straight up killed this guy and anything else in a 15 foot radius.

The police were shooting at the vehicle from both the driver's side and the passenger side.

On the passenger side you can see all the bullet holes in the side of the truck as they fired into the cab.

In the video you see the driver fall down the passenger side stairs (probably from being hit by the bullets) but he is still alive, then as he is laying there you can see him react to being shot further.

Honestly it looks like the police just went with a shoot first and sort it out later approach.
As far as I'm concerned they murdered this man along with the bystander motorist.

I'm not sure what situation prompted them to feel such an immediate need to act with that amount of force, but the results show that they posed a far more danger to the innocent public than the suspects did.

My guess is the suspect took a shot at them so the police felt the right to light up the whole area until everything stopped moving.
I'm honestly surprised they didn't kill more people with the amount of gunfire they were sending across a packed highway.

No way the cops should have gone all wild west in that situation. Only snipers should have fired and only if there was no other option.
