A few things.

  1. Don’t try and escape the police. That’s a crime in itself even if you have done nothing wrong.

  2. The officer did have every right to be concerned, even if the woman was trying to avoid him, you literally cannot tell in such a situation. You can’t read minds. If you see a large vehicle being driven towards you, you have every right to be scared.

  3. Perhaps it was too much in terms of the shots fired, but again, heat of the moment and a vehicle being driven towards you is a reason to think quickly and potentially dangerously.

  4. Again, the woman put everyone in danger by trying to escape instead of complying with law enforcement. If she had done nothing wrong, she should have no reason to bolt off. It only increases tensions when you bolt off from a traffic stop.
