A deadly gun battle happened during a regular traffic stop and was recorded on a shocking video. The armed driver can be heard saying, ‘I should have served with the f–king Taliban’ before shooting at the officers. In response, the officers fired back, ultimately killing the armed driver.

Jamal Wali, 36, was pulled over by Fairfax, Virginia, police officers for speeding back on April 23 — with the driver immediately declaring he had a weapon and yelling at the cop to get back in his car, video released by the Fairfax Police Department showed.

“I have a gun and I’m armed,” Wali said as the officer walked towards the driver’s side window of the 1999 Toyota Corolla.

“I don’t have a license. Go back, sit in the f–king car, and leave,” Wali demanded of the officer, adding with hostility, “So what do you wanna do?”

The 36-year-old aggressively shouted at the officer that he had no vehicle registration, refused to identify himself by name, and had attempted to reach for his weapon — causing the officer to call for backup.

“I should have served with f–king Taliban,” Wali screamed, adding, “They’re better than you.”

As the two waited for more officers to arrive, Wali expressed rage at the United States, which he said “brought him here” — claiming to have “served in the special forces” and further that his brother died as a result of his service, video showed.

Back-up arrived with one officer first coming to the passenger side door behind Wali and another officer approaching the driver’s side door — immediately grabbing a hold of the driver’s wrist.

When Wali was grabbed, he pulled away from the reaching officer, pulled out and cocked his pistol, and fired-off several shots in the matter of seconds — hitting the officers in the upper arms and elbows, according to Fox 5 DC.

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

He was given life saving measures by police and was declared dead at a local hospital later that day, Fox 5 DC reported.

The two wounded officers were treated for non-life threatening injuries at an area hospital, according to that report.

Wali also claimed he had four children and that he arrived in the United States in 2014.

“You f–king people brought me to this goddamn country and I’m dying every single goddamned day,” the irate Wali exclaimed.

“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?”
