Sadly i think limited police budgets figured into this. The police car initially coming upon the runners car veeery early on, like 10 seconds into tape (18:33 on tape) could have easily taken him out. Then again about a minute later (19:35 tape) when runners car turned around. I know Force officers are told not to ram cars unless neccessary, reason being money being right up there in priority. As it stands in the end 2 police cars ended up ramming him.
Can't the police cars be equipped with some type of shooting spike tire strip ala Spyderman?
Other techie way to take out tires?
How many new police cars, Spyder Strip equipped or not could be purchased with Iraq war money?
As to the exection, was Runner going to continue to try to drive away as policeman was on hood of car? I would call cops being on hood of car "entrapment", but "good entrapment".
Too bad rubber bullits could not have been used but then even if rubbers were available, how are cops supposed to make split second decisions not nowing if Runner had his own gun ready to fire? Runner had already shown deadly driving by being in wrong lane at high speeds. Letting runner back out on road puts your kids WOW (who were driving around a 1/2 mile away coming home from bowling) in peril. I still say police cars need to be equipped with some kind of high tech way to take out tires. Money for this coming from Iraq/Haliburton.
It's a sad sick world. It's only when Satans eliminated are you going to see the end of this stuff.
