He was clearly unstable and refusing to obey police commands. Having robbed a store, set fire to a church, stolen a car and stolen a rifle, he was clearly a threat.

From what I can see, the officers made a choice between shooting him and hitting him with the car. Either way works for me.

All the officers and all of the innocent citizens of the community made it home safely that night. Mission accomplished.

Shoot COM until the threat stops.. For those that love the Caliber debate and knockdown power, try topping the caliber that cop used for knockdown power.

Fact is it was faster and safer to officers and the public for him to do what he did.. No stray rounds from missing the target and the target had NO opportunity to go down shooting at anything that moved..
