Shocking body cam video captured the moment a Colorado cop tased a fleeing man after a traffic stop — who then fell across the lanes of a busy highway, where he was fatally struck by a passing SUV.

Deputy Lorenzo Lujan stopped Brent Allen Thompson, 28, about 9 p.m. Feb. 18 near a hotel off Interstate 25 in Larimer County when he noticed that his Ford Fusion had expired tags, 9 News reported.

But Thompson got onto northbound I-25 and Lujan followed him until the driver stopped near the Mountain Vista Drive exit, according to the outlet, which cited a letter by District Attorney Gordon McLaughlin.

Thompson, of Loveland, identified himself as “Jacob Jones,” but the deputy – who was joined by a partner at the scene — quickly discovered that he gave a fake name.

The driver insisted that he had not lied but bolted when told he was under arrest – running down an embankment toward the highway, the newly released video shows.

“Stop or you're gonna get Tased! Stop!” Lujan shouts.

He then fires the weapn after Thompson jumps a guardrail and collapses along the road

“S—! S—!” the deputy exclaims as the oncoming SUV slams into Thompson.

As he should, because the cop acted very well in this case. Watch the entire video and see for yourself.

I sorta get it but he still looks retarded. Of all places to deploy a taser, was the middle of the highway the best spot? I know cops are generally low-functioning humans but you'd think even a child with a taser would figure downing a dude at night in front of 55mph+ traffic is gonna get either one or both of you killed.

If anything you can argue the cop was trying to take him to PREVENT his dumbass from running into traffic. But hey, up to interpretation I guess. Unfortunate situation.

With a month to cool off I can say both were pretty dumb. I know if I disobey a cop for any reason I'm likely to be killed regardless.
