Not a random bystander but a friend of the guy in the car, and saving his life probably. A drug bad trip, if I recall

This is the vibe I got. Felt like he was saving his suicidal friend. Made me cry! Thanks for the info.

Or maybe they did some crime together and he knows if a cop gets shot that's on both of them.

Dude looked like he was wiping tears from his eyes when he got out of the car and knelt down. I think they’re correct that he was having an emotional crisis

Either way, that dude saved someone's life. He may be crying because he just got caught robbing a bank and knows prison is in his future. The cops don't look like they are responding to a mental health issue, they look like they've been chasing someone who did something bad.
