Sound like he showed up, saw them, and kept right on driving so they shot him?

Wouldn’t normal procedure be to give chase in a vehicle while radioing dispatch to get other vehicles/cops involved in the chase and possibly block him in somewhere?

Might be a good idea to wait for some facts.

For all we know, the warrant could have been to look for a body buried in the yard.

There are reasons for warrants. Wait and see.

Also there might have been a cop standing in front of the vehicle.

Shooting a fleeing criminal in the back is a bad idea ordinarily, but there are conditions under which it is required.

Don’t know. Probably each jurisdiction has rules that change from year to year.

Detroit’s Wayne County a few years ago had one “high speed chase results in death (or serious injuries) to bystanders’ vehicles. Suspect gets away.” after another for months. Uninvolved families in gnarled up, twisted wreckage while criminal made it away safely.

I said (to friends) let the guys go rather than kill people over it in car accidents. The judges let the accused go free anyway, or they win on a technicality in court. Some argued “then why have police?”
