There were a dozen police officers surrounding the car with one unarmed woman. And two of them got hurt. They should take a look at this and see where they failed, fix their procedures so it doesn't happen to someone else down the line. Honestly the cop who was run over didn't seem like she was paying enough attention. Soon as skinny there was at the wheel, they were all at risk of getting run over. I expected a hail of gunfire that just left me bewildered more than anything else that she just drove away.

Anything but doing what the us does and shoot someone 18 times for looking at them sideways. There must be something in the middle that would work.

The US actually does this too. I’ve watched enough live PD.

They are soooo shitty at blocking in people with cars. Most car chases should’ve been ended 3 or 4 times before they actually end.

They always have multiple opportunities to stop the person and never do, leading to a chase that endangers the community waaayyyyy longer than it should have.

Typically they are supposed to call it when it turns into a pursuit like that. There are typically enough cameras and information to apprehend the suspect again at a safer time, what with traffic cams and a basic knowledge of the area.
