Cop gets her gun and car stolen

This compilation of bodycam footage from Fountain Valley, California, shows a police officer attempting to detain a suspect. Unfortunately, he manages to steal her gun and police cruiser. Ultimately, he is shot and killed by her partner. Viewer discretion is advised. Fountain Valley PD responded to a call concerning a man who attempted to open a driver's door as she was leaving a nearby middle school. The caller reported that the suspect was generally behaving in a disturbed manner. An officer made contact with the suspect, who was later identified as Osean McLintock, 26 years of age. He asked McLintock to be seated, but the suspect refused and ran away while making Biblical references. He outpaced the officer, at which point his partner made contact some distance away. A short time later (02:18), the officer heard screaming and ran to help, finding Mclintock in possession of his partner's pistol. Mclintock ignored repeated commands to drop the weapon and tried to comandeer the female officer's cruiser, at which point the contact officer opened fire, striking McLintock (02:55). Despite aid rendered, the suspect was declared deceased on-scene. At 03:22, we see the footage from the female officer's perspective. Due to the audio buffering, their initial exchange is inaudible, but for some reason she exited the vehicle with her handgun drawn- a confusing decision, given that McLintock had no weapon or lethal capability. However, despite pressing it into his own abdomen and giving her plenty of opportunities to shoot him, she did not, resulting in his taking her weapon. She fell to the ground and begged for her life as the suspect repeatedly referenced her salvation. The female officer fled and hid behind a mail truck while her partner, the contact officer, confronted and ultimately neutralized McLintock.
