As the story is told, Jamal Wali, 36, was allegedly brought to the US in 2014 after working as an interpreter for the US forces in Afghanistan. He was pulled over for a routine violation in Fairfax, Virginia.
The obviously unstable Mr Wali shouted profanities at the police, professed his hatred for the United States and regret for not supporting the Taliban, and then eventually ended up opening fire on the police officers present. The shooting happened earlier this month, and the Virginia police released the bodycam footage earlier today.
There is something profoundly wrong with our immigration system when this level of instability is intentionally brought to the USA from a war zone in Afghanistan. The two police officers were wounded, Mr Wali was killed in the exchange. Video below:
(Via Fox News) – Officials released bodycam footage showing the chaotic moments leading up to a deadly officer-involved shooting in Fairfax, Virginia, in April. In a press release accompanying the footage, the Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) called the incident an “attempted murder.”
On April 23, an officer pulled over 36-year-old Jamal Wali for speeding. Wali also had an expired safety inspection sticker. When he was pulled over, Wali slammed on the brakes, something the officer who initially approached Wali’s vehicle noted.
Wali then informed the officer he was armed and asked why he was being pulled over. From there, the situation took a chaotic turn as a clearly distressed Wali began shouting, cursing, refusing to give his name and saying he had no driver’s license or registration for the vehicle. (read more)
Unfortunately, these incidents follow an increasing trend as the cultural and sociological clash between foreign aliens and American values continues to unfold. Many people who travel to America come from places where tribalism, and tribal rules are the general way of life. As they encounter social rules and regulations that apply toward daily American life, they grow more and more frustrated over time.
There are a lot of people throughout the world who have no concept or reference point of EU, USA or even Western cultural civility. When I visited Russia last year this was often a topic of discussion about why the Russian Federation government controls immigration so severely.
As much as I did not like the sociology of Russia overall, there were some aspects to the strongly enforced rules protecting social cohesion that seemingly did make sense.
