I'm not sure I understand what that's all about. I mean what's wrong with what this officer did, other than risk his life with that crazy maneuver? Upon further review I don't think they should've discharged whatever weapon they were using in a potentially populated area. Spike strips or other devices to disable the truck may have been a better idea, but to try and say the cops went over the line, etc is just plainly stupid. Would anyone prefer to live in a place where the police don't want to do their job?
It's not exactly as if the guy in the stolen truck was a fine upstanding member of society. Maybe the automobile thief will keep that in mind next time he gets the urge to take something that does not belong to him. I am still in favor of increasing the penalty for automobile theft from jail time to a high velocity lead injection. Or perhaps hanging like the old days. Granted an automobile isn't quite as necessary to survival as horses used to be in the old days when they allowed hanging horse thieves, but it's still a shitty deal for the victim.
Sorry, that last couple of sentences was just me trying to offset the leftwing lunacy by moving a bit to the right...
