nah i doubt the cop is going to catch flak for shooting thru the windshield. even if he hit a pedestrian, they would just pay out. it aint right, but they would probably cite extenuating circumstances. #blueline

but politics asides, the risks for engaging like that close quarters is definitely hairy. i cant believe he shot thru the windshield of his car. thats some big ones right there.

Shooting straight through the windshield of your moving car does seem like it would fall somewhere between really bad idea and against policy, but my hunch is also that there is no policy and since he didn't hit anyone, they wouldn't press the question.

The bad guys killed someone earlier. If they had been more accurate they could have killed some of the police too.

One interesting thing is they ended up at an elementary school and bullets were still flying. But the people they were chasing did so much shooting so of course the police would shoot back.

I think the fact that his life and those of others' were in danger covers him.

It was not a bad strategy shooting at the cop. If the cop gives up before the helicopter or additional police cars join, they may get away. Watching the cop at the end firing his weapon had me thinking of Archer. How many rounds do you have left chief?
