then, when the kid tried to get up and the deputy shot him, the deputy says, "you don't get up!"
the cop seems to be totally fried and was running on adrenaline. which is understandable after a 100mph chase. why was this kid in the chase in the first place? tough to be on someones side after you have been speeding away from them at 100mph. but he did not deserve to be shot.
You'd have to ask the driver, the Airman was the passenger, just "along for the ride" so to speak.
