“Let’s deal with reality here.”
LOL!
Okay, then you have a hard time with reality.
1. These perps had already killed one man
2. They were trying to evade police by driving recklessly in traffic, threatening the lives of many other people on the road
3. They were firing their weapons at police officers with many members of the public in the vicinity
4. They were desperate and would have done anything to escape, include kill more people
5. If they had been cornered and able to, they would have taken hostages
6. Any attempt to take these men off the street, was better than allowing them to kill more innocents
7. These men were killed/apprehended
8. The community was then safe
9. The officer complied with his department’s polices, to take these men off the streets
