Not precisely a flame, since I see your point, but ...
It seems to me that engaging in pursuit of or directing deadly force at a fleeing vehicle actually increases the chances that it will become a dedaly weapon as the miscreant abandons whatever rationality he or she may still possess in an increassingly pannicked attempt to "escape." While the perpertrator may or may not deserve their fate in such a situation, the innocent bystanders who may be injured certainly do not. In this case, certainly, the bkers paid a higher price than the car thief/accused child abuser, and it's hard for me to avoid wondering if they might have been spared if the cops had dropped the hot pursuit and put out an APB on the guy.
Also, as a practrical matter, I wonder what kind of deadly force can conveniently be applied against a moving vehicle that would not also endanger bystanders directly or by causing the vehicle to go aout of control. Just curious.

I am a bit sceptical here.
What was exactly that "alleged child molesting"? Has this 19yr old hapless vegetable been hanky-panky with some 15yr old Britney Spears wannabe behind the bicycle shed? If so, did he get to the second base or not? Anyways sweet dreams kid, you'd better not come back.

Here's some updates:
Des Moines Register
Lincoln, NB Star Journal
Respects to all y'all that want to go Alan Alda touchy feely about this poor 19 yr old. But I'm thinking the world might be a better place if this guy'd been fatally shot at one of the two police roadblocks he evaded.
He'd have had a better chance than the people sharing the road with him at 1 am, while he ran with no lights.
