OR you could stop trying to evade police when they are two feet from you, with a gun pointed at your face. You need to realise, in that situation, the instant the driver starts going to take off again, he is directly endangering the life of that police officer. What if he hadn't shot, came off the front of the car and was killed by being run over? The driver had made it pretty clear he didn't give a shit about the safety of anybody else, so why would that suddenly change?
Spot on.
I really don't have a lot of sympathy for people who get in those situations. Sure if it's related to a mental illness in some way it's tragic but for most people who get killed or injured perpetrating a crime, it's the risk you take breaking the law.
Like that guy that got shot and killed in Parafield a couple of years ago. You come out of the house waving a gun, replica or not, you can't expect not to be shot at.
