The video looks like a bad shoot.
I am no expert but I have been watching a BOAT LOAD of “Live PD” episodes. I’ve seen this exact scenario time and again. OK, not exact to the “T”, but I’ve seen plenty of events where a cop rams the perp to a halt.
In NOT ONE SINGLE INSTANCE did the cop foolishly leap from the car and run up to the driver’s window. Not a single time. In every instance, the cops stayed back by their vehicle, got on the PA and demanded that the driver show his hands, put his hands out the window, open the door, and back toward them with their hands in the air.
On the FEW occasions where the perps refused, the cops stayed back by their car and called for additional units who all set up with guns and then slowly approached the vehicle looking at all occupants at all times, and then opened the door or bashed in the window, sometimes dragging the perp out the window.
Sometimes the perps run from the car and that is an entirely different scenario. I’m talking about the perp staying in the disabled car.
In all cases, they seemed to be following training procedures to insure their own safety and proceeded with deliberate caution for everyone’s safety.
In the video, I see rash thoughtless cops putting themselves in immediate potential danger like brain-dead untrained people might do.
Stupid. Stupid cops. Stupid idiot cops. I blame the cops 100% for their rash actions rushing the drivers window foolishly.
Stupid, stupid idiot cops.

I see your point too.
The cops lost me when they hit that telephone pole. To me that is when they should have called off the pursuit. Called it in as too dangerous. Another officer could have stopped the car down the road. I believe this is called an “APB”? He would have been found before days end.
