She would have gotten away with it if not for those kids in that van.

I do have an issue with the officer running into the frame and putting three shots through the back glass of the minivan.
Officers should only be using deadly force in the event that the suspect poses an immediate health/safety risk to the officers and/or the public. At that point, they had no reason to believe she posed any greater threat for public harm that anybody driving recklessly. Reckless driving clearly does not allow for the use of deadly force. I don't believe any of the officers involved in that scene behaved inappropriately...except for the dude that fired shots into the back glass. He's probably pretty damn lucky he didn't hit anyone.

Yeah, that seems like a really bad idea on his part.

It's still a really bad idea.
I'm not a cop, and I don't know cop policy, but it seems like the golden rule should be that "cops don't shoot, they shoot back".

Well, yeah, that too. Another good rule that was broken here is to never flee the police when your kids are in the car.

Can't argue with that at all. I'm not agreeing with what the cop did at all, nothing there warranted gunfire. I was just trying to make a suggestion as to what he may have been thinking (I know nothing about police work either).

I'm not sure what the officer was doing at all. My concern is that I question whether or not he was either.
Besides, I'm gonna bet you any amount of money you'd like that this particular police department isn't training it's guys using Beverly Hills Cop videos. There's no way it's proper department protocal to try to shoot out the !@#$ing tires on a moving vehicle. That's about a 1/100 shot when you're stationary, for him to be humped up on adrenaline and moving while trying to establish a proper base...yeah, that was essentially an impossible shot. It was remarkably stupid.

Why were the gun shots necessary as the van was driving away?
