4. He could have shot out the tires.

They'll also keep going with four spiked flat tires.

RE: Running from the police... gets you dead
Don't want to state what was justified or not, but I would like to point out the cop was the one who decided to get on the car, he was endangering himself and knew the consequences (as well as the driver did too). I'm pretty sure they couldv'e done an alternative method of stopping him though, like maybe shoot the tires when he ever got stuck for a little while, shoot only to scare. I'm no cop but the safest and most logical method was to shoot the tires or use spikes, and follow him until the wheels get messed up he can't continue on, it was late and not many (if any) cars were around so none of that "endangerment to pedestrians" excuse saying quick action had to be made. As for the statement that people can still drive with flat tires, yes its true, but they drive slower and its a hell of a lot easier to baricade them after. Again I'm just trying to point out that shooting was not the best and only answer. Anyone can kill someone or shoot a gun, but stopping someone without bringing any harm to anyone is true SKILLS.

There is also no footage to prove that the suspects didn't actually shoot at the officers.
Would you rather the officer shoot the person or end up in this situation:

granted you cant see everything it looks like the shooting was not justified, the cop rams the black car and says that the black car tried to ram him?? come on, then the cop gets out of his car after he ramed him and starts shooting??? wtf??? then the other cop endangers his own life by getting on top of a moving car to shoot at him??? wtf again?? deff not text book, and talk about harming his buddy, he hitthe black car while his buddy was on the roof while shooting at a suspect. I am not a cop but from what I can see I call BS.
