If he was aiming at the tires as has been claimed, the danger to them would be considerably less than if he had aimed at the passenger compartment (as one might assume from the thread title.) Obviously they were still in some danger from the shots fired though, and the strategy was ineffective at disabling the van anyway. The mother's later actions also placed them at considerable risk of dying in a head-on collision, so it would have been advantageous if the police had been able to prevent her from driving off again. A better way to do that might have been to block the van with the second cop car and/or prevent the woman from getting back into the car once she was out of it. The first cop had a brief window to take control of the situation and he failed to do so.

it's a Hollywood movie myth the risks of pulling out your gun to shoot out the tires of a car that has a limited amount of fuel and in this case is not a threat to the officers far outweigh any potential positive. It only puts bystanders at risk.

It's probably not impossible, but pretty damn close to it.

Full video is posted online -
Looks like the mother that were pulled over was pretty stupid about it really. I don't like getting pulled over but when I do I try to get it over with as soon as possible and not pull any shady moves or argue with the cops cause it's usually not worth it.
The way the mother acts in this is stupid as well as the kid. Fighting with a cop at stop like that is just dumb, she could've at least gone to court rather than make it that the cops only option is to fight them pretty much.

did the first cop say he was going to ignore her expired license and just give her a speeding ticket?
Also, not sure if he was just exceptionally cool, or scared, but it looked like he had 2 good chances to taze the kid that assaulted him, and he didnt

i thought only the one cop seemed out of line, what else do you think was wrong with the scenario?

Stupid hood rats. Running from the police making things worse for themselves. Its a vagina not a clown car
I mean clearly the junkie fascist cops did wrong.
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
