Yeah, the bigger issue is cops being taught to shoot at the slightest hint of fear and being actively confrontational in situations where it would be safer for everyone for them to either deescalate, call in backup to ensure safety, or fall back and approach the person differently. If a nonviolent criminal is fleeing cops should be taking notes to identify and fine them, not shooting. High speed chases should be a last resort. They need to be engaged in community policing rather than the "warrior mindset" that just gets people killed
