! Can't believe it ended with someone getting shot and killed tho 
. I'm still trying to process how crazy the guy's behavior was, firing at cops and all that 
. The officers were just doing their job, chasing down a suspect who was on the loose and threatening innocent lives.
. We need to be supporting our officers and giving them the resources they need to stay safe on the job 
.
. We need to focus on getting our community safer for everyone, not just law enforcement 
. The whole thing sounds super intense & it's no surprise the suspect ended up being a violent person given his history of carjacking & attempted murder 
. I'm all for keeping our communities safe, but can't we find a way to catch people without putting everyone at risk? 
The fact that residents nearby are still reeling from what happened is just heartbreaking 
.
... Like back in my day, we didn't have all these fancy dash cams and social media platforms to live-tweet every cop chase 
. I remember watching those old TV shows where the cops would get into these intense car chases and it was always a major deal 
. But at the same time, I'm just glad they were able to apprehend him before anyone else got hurt 
.
. I guess that's why they say "proceed with caution" when it comes to pursuing suspects 
this whole thing is just so sad... think about all those ppl who had to live with the fear of having their cars hijacked & being shot at on the road 
it's crazy how one individual can cause so much chaos & destruction for innocent people around them. hope the community of San Jose comes together to find some closure 
! Like, who needs a PlayStation when you're literally driving at 100mph trying to outrun the cops? And poor Ammar, apparently, he didn't have the necessary skill set for a video game – in real life 
.
! Not sure what was more intense, the car chases or Ammar's outfit – all black and looking like a reject from a 90s music video 
.
.
meanwhile, the cops are still trying to figure out if they did the right thing, and honestly, it's like they're stuck in a loop of "what ifs" 
all i want is for them to get some answers so we can start talking about what really happened instead of just speculating 
? I mean, Ali was wanted for some super violent crimes and had already shown he wasn't afraid to fire at cops 
. On one hand, you gotta protect society from people like that 
. But on the other hand, isn't it a bit extreme to shoot someone who's already not resisting anymore? 
.
, i mean what if ali hadnt been armed or something? wouldnt it have all ended differently? 
️, hope they got it right or not 
he should've known better than to mess with the authorities. but at the same time, you gotta feel bad for the officers who were in harm's way 
but at the end of the day, someone loses their life... 
.
. I mean, it's not like these cops didn't have this guy cornered or something... 28 and already a career criminal? Like, what's next? Starting a family and all that jazz 
. Can't say I'm surprised though, Hollister is basically the Wild West 
. At least they got him in the end, even if it was a bit of an overkill 
. Guess you could say justice was served... or not
