I feel like in many cases like this, where there is no weapon only a car, the cop has a choice to step out of the way to protect his life which takes just about as much time as drawing your gun. Over a petty crime such as shoplifting or simply fleeing the cop should be responsible enough to realize the value of a human life, criminal or not, and step out of the way as opposed to killing another person just because they can. Let's be direct and understand that this cop, without a doubt, had a decision to either step aside or fire a gun into a car full of people. In this situation, and many like it, a person who makes a decision to fire the gun does so because they want to, not because they have to, and in my opinion that person is unfit to be a human being let alone a cop. It would seem that many cops first thought is if they can get away with shooting a person as opposed to if they should, as a decent person, shoot a person.
Even if your life is in imminent danger from a moving vehicle is killing the driver really going to save you? Or are you still going to step out of the way?
