Lots of desperate saves being attempted here!
It's fairly obvious that it can be a good idea to take advantage of a vehicle's safety and power in some confrontations. When someone is approaching you from a good distance with things like scissors, getting in the car may well be the smart move. It's really, really hard to break into a moving car with scissors. This guy was peppered with rounds, and the cop, who was saved by pure luck, still got battered and could easily have died. The problem: the weight of the projectiles. A 4000-pound projectile has true stopping power. If you disagree, POST SOURCES! Just kidding. "Post sources" is Internet code for, "I'm tapping out."

Just because you've been a LEO for 4+ decades does NOT mean you're right or even that you know what the heck you're talking about. What you're saying is "I'm a cop, and have been a cop for a very long time, and nobody who isn't a cop can tell me anything about tactics". This ^^^ mentality is the product of stupid training.

She was on a street with houses on both sides! You might not know this, but people tend to live and reside in houses. One of her misses could have entered a home window and killed someone just watching TV. |

It appears we have arrived at the southern terminus of civilized discourse.
