I suggest you watch that again and listen to why it happened: “when the officer tried to stop the man, he fled on his bicycle.” Remember, if you flee, they can do whatever is necessary to stop you within department procedure.

In related news: Little girl on scooter runs from cop as her mother told her never to talk to strangers. The police officer was instructed to do whatever is necessary to stop the fleeing suspect so he called in three squad cars and each bashed into the little girl from a different angle. She died moments later but no one cares because department procedure makes more sense than the life of a criminal with a scooter.

I guess it depends on whether it is farm fresh or store bought.

Here is the police dash camera from that chase:
The officer was disciplined for not following procedure, but you can clearly see that this person was fleeing and the officer did not intentionally run him over...

yea cops always shoot for center mass, and never shoot out tires, or shoot guns out of criminals hands ect, this only happens in movies.......Or when a real cop shows up, and shows some actual thinking and skill instead of being a walking ball of fear with a gun.

Granted it was on a dirt road, no innocent bystanders around so no need to fear of a bystander getting hit ect.
