I'm not defending anyone either, but it is SOP (standard operating procedures) that after someone refuses to pull over, and then seems to run, exit the car, or makes any move deemed dangerous that a higher level of force is required.

I have a huge freaking problem with the cop though.

1. If I'm going to run from the cops, and blow through a stop light, I certainly wouldn't have had my hazards on.
2. If a chase ends in the emergency room of a hospital, something should have clicked that there might be a medical emergency in the car.

(for those of you that didn't see the video with sound)
3. After everything settled down, and the cop was writing the ticket a nurse came outside and told him that her mother was in the hospital and was dying "right now". His reply was, "I'm almost done here".

Cop should be fired, and the city should find something to try and show some sympathy to the wife. This is a ****ed up situation, and I would have probably took a bullet to the back. If my mother (God forbid) was dying, and the hospital said I needed to be there fast, I wouldn't have stopped when the cop drew his weapon.
