He tried to execute an arrest warrant by himself without backup. I am sorry he lost his life but he used bad judgement. I mean it sounds like he went looking for this guy, not just a per chance traffic stop.
Talk about bad judgement this guy was looking at 48 hours in jail now he's looking at 48 years in prison if they don't put him to death.
It was essentially, a domestic case. These are absolutely the most unpredictable and dangerous calls for police to make. Officers should always have armed backup on such calls. And they should never attempt to make arrests without that backup.

This!
Should be a feature in police training. Don't be "that guy".
Many times police officers will execute arrest warrants without back up. It’s part of the job.
