What is this reply? Why are you acting immature?
I obviously meant to try and taze the individual, and taking a chance at shooting out the tires if the situation allows is better than shooting the driver.
Do you think this shooting was justified?
If he had done this and missed and hit an
actual innocent person then there'd be hell to pay. I'd assume it's harder to shoot the tires out on a rapidly moving car than Hollywood would lead you to believe. Or maybe he gets lucky and hits the tire, and the car loses control and takes out some innocent bystanders. Also bad.
Yes I realize that shooting the guy while he was driving was just as likely to have the same outcome. At least this way the dangerous driver is taken out of the equation before he can cause even more harm.
Instead of assuming the police officer had seen one too many Jackie Chan movies and was really itching to murder someone in a really risky way, I'm going to assume that whatever he saw/heard/smelled/whatever during his interaction with the guy before he tried to flee was enough to make him arrive at the conclusion that this was a person he needed to get off the road at all costs.
He did it in a really dangerous way and now a man is dead, yes. But again, I can't really muster any sympathy for drunk drivers.
