It seems like the police could have shot out the tires
first, before going lethal.

she had already injured armed persons and was using the car as a deadly weapon. not listening to verbals.
i don’t have a problem with the reaction, all specifics in this particular case, considered.

Na, shooting out tires is only in the movies. But stop strips are used by all the other police departments. Real cops now are trained to stop automobiles with their cars even if they have to wreck them.
But you gotta admit, this one sure got a lot of attention for the non furloughed, furloughed Capital POlice.
Funny thing though, no one that I have heard has played the dreaded race card.
