That is true, a car can be used as a weapon, which includes bombs.

High speed chases are frequent occurrences in some cities. They even had hour-long TV series devoted entirely to real-life chases. There were extremely reckless and dangerous cases where criminals drove on the wrong side of the freeway for miles with police hot in pursuit; or in city streets with everything scrambling to get out of the way. And some reckless driving cases were caused by medical reasons.

Regardless, it is extremely rare for police to open fire on any of the suspects, especially when the chase is already over and the person refused to get out of the car. There are many options available to the authorities during the ensuing standoff.

In this case, if they were truly concerned a bomb could be involved (which I very much doubt based on their actions), they would have sealed off the perimeter, retreated to a safe distance and maybe contacted her relatives and let them approach her, etc. Besides, since when is a mere suspicion of a bomb enough justification to kill?

It is obvious they never wanted it to end peacefully and the order to kill had come from the top, hence the multiple rounds of bullets that came quickly.

Even if you are not bothered by the circumstances of this case, I hope you at least realize the blatant hypocrisies of the usual suspects and the complete silence of the media when you speak out in support of the police’ actions.
