Also horrifying to see how quickly the suspect escalated into shooting a police officer over a simple traffic stop.

I don’t see how in the world the suspect lived over being shot 5 times like that at close range with a .357, no matter the round. Certainly drives home the point we read here many times about the effectiveness of handgun rounds, shot placment, etc.
