They have guns to shoot people, running or not. The important distinction is whether using the deadly force is justified. In the case of one who is running, IF it is a violent felon who is fleeing, AND is an immediate danger to others, THEN the shooting MIGHT be justified. Those circumstances do not seem to be the case in that video.

Oh, I don’t know. The woman attempted to evade questioning, used her car as a weapon, then tried to drive off and endanger others. It also seems significant that the cop was correct about the suspect—there was a warrant for her arrest.
Is it possible that the cop ran her plates and learned about that warrant?
