Frightening bodycam video has recorded the moment a driver brandished a firearm and shot at police officers from close range following a tirade about the Taliban.

The fatal shootout occurred when Jamal Wali, 36, said “I should have served with f***ing Taliban” after being pulled over by cops for speeding.

Footage shows an officer from the Fairfax Police Department pulling over Wali’s Toyota Corolla before walking up to him.

The driver immediately declared he had a weapon and started shouting at the cop, ordering him to get back to his cop car.

He said: “I have a gun and I’m armed. I don’t have a license.

“Go back, sit in the f***king car, and leave.”

He then began yelling aggressively screaming: “I should have served with f***king Taliban. They’re better than you.”

The officer was forced to call for backup after Wali refused to show his ID.

When additional officers reached the scene and neared Wali’s vehicle to extract him, he drew his handgun, readied it, and shot multiple times at one of the officers.

The officer on the passenger side door immediately opened fire, hitting Wali with four bullets,  Fox 5 DC reported.

Footage retrieved from Wali’s GoPro showed how he tried to reload and shoot the cop.

He even bizarly said “Today’s the day, buddy,” before shooting at the cops.

But Officer Ian LaChapelle was able to strike Wali first.

Though Wali was given life-saving measures after the shootout, a local hospital declared him dead later that day.

The shootout also left two officers wounded in the upper arms and elbows, according to the media outlet.

Before firing at the cops, Wali expressed his rage towards America, which he said “brought him here”.

He also claimed to have served in the special forces and further that his brother died as a result of his service in the video.

Wali ranted: “You f***ing people brought me to this goddamn country and I’m dying every single goddamned day.

“I can’t get a job. I can’t get a disability. And they took my f***king license because I can’t pay the insurance. So why are you trying to kill me?”

Wali also claimed he had four children and that he arrived in the United States in 2014, the New York Post reports.

Both wounded officers were treated for minor injuries at a local hospital.

Police Chief Kevin Davis applauded Officer LaChapelle for saving his fellow colleagues.

He said: “We also realize, in this particular scenario, that we are very fortunate we didn’t have two police funerals.

“His use of lethal force undoubtedly saved the lives of the two officers positioned on the driver’s side of the car.”
