Can't wait to hear the whole story on this one
I count 5 people with guns drawn on the car at 0:30, and it isn't really moving. They are close enough to see it is a woman and child in the car, 2-3 officers with weapons drawn is plenty. The other 2 fools need to be popping the tires and disabling the car, NOT trying to be intimidating and point their weapon at the car as well. What are we teaching or practicing out there? *facepalm* /rant

In a high stress situation things change very quickly. What you see, hear and react to are very different that watching a video of it, so I can totally understand them focusing only on the driver. I still don't think it needed to end that way either.
I agree, but ideally shouldn't we train in high-stress situations regularly so that we can think clearly when those situations arise? I fear that very few people have that ability out there because 99% of the time they won't need it... (and of course it costs time and money to keep that kind of training going, etc.)
