What would you suggest? Allowing the suspect to regain entry into a vehicle? What if he fled and took hostages at another location, or ran a red and killed some family? They can’t allow the suspect to reenter that vehicle for a multitude of real good reasons.
No. I think blowing the innocent passengers away in the other vehicle is a viable option, especially if all you care about is yourself. I do know, that when I was a Marine, under the ROE, it was not an option for me.

I think you are exactly right. If there’s ANY possibility someone is going to die in such a confrontation, I prefer that it not be a police officer or an innocent bystander.
