When they hit other objects they are taught to shoot to kill? That bull. If the person hits a fucking street sign they wont shoot somebody. And its not like he rammed them head on. He BACKED into them. Police officers sacrifice cuisers during chases all the time.
As people trained with firearms, im sure they should have at least been able to shoot at the right shouler/legs or something. Not only that but the kid didnt even have a weapon drawn. Sure the possibility of him having one was there but its not like they had to shoot the shit out of him to make sure.
True, few know how it happened exactly, but their actions are still fairly far from justified.
