I suffered through the video on two or three newscasts. My thoughts:

The actor refused to stop for a LEO, unknown at the instant whether he was armed. I do not recall if he rammed a Police car or put a LEO in danger of death or injury. He did have a record for drugs, they possibly knew this at the time of shooting at him.

The actions of the Police involved was something like the gunfight at the OK Corral. Paniky and unprofessional. They seem to lack proper training for such incidents.

There is no lack of these idiots that run from the Police and endanger others, the Police, and themselves. Except in residential areas I wish they could use RPGs, read that rocket propelled grenades to permanently remove those idiots from our roadways. It ain't going to happen.

The officials will knuckle under to the media and others, the Cops will be fired, the guilty SOB will sue and it will be another Rodney King like ending.
