If anyone has seen the video of this incident, I'd say police were justified in using whatever force required to stop him including shooting him. He was doing a whole lot more than speeding... I have no sympathy for him whatsoever.
I haven't seen a video of this chase and I don't know the details. I have seen videos where any method should have been used to stop the chase. When a driver endangers everyone on the street with his recklessness while trying to evade arrest he should be stopped as soon as possible without regard to damage to him.
word.
Why don't they just get the tag number? Or follow from a distance, or helicoptor. No reason to risk the suspects life, not to mention the cops and possible innocent bystandanders. Afterall, this was just a speeding violation.
