That is a horrible idea, this is the difference between law enforcement training (or lack thereof) in the USA as opposed to Canada. Especially in Canada, depending on the rake of the windshield, 9mm bullets have even been known to bounce off. Buddy been watching too many action movies... Jesus... he could have just as easily have shot himself.
In Canada, he would have been forced to call off pursuit as soon as speeds reached 40km/h+ over and follow from a distance, DEFINITELY off if they were shooting, super dangerous to the public, air monitoring brought in and ERT/roadblocks set up.

I like the one hand/ no hand fast driving.. I wonder what kinda training it takes to be able to do that. I'm surprised in this day and age, cops dont use a headset or something to help speak in to a radio.

with all those buttons and tech nowadays im surprise they dont offer a hands free option for them to talk to the dispatch. driving at that speed with one hand is quite dangerous.

Shooting out of his moving car aside. He sounds absolutely terrified, and yet he chased them down as if his life depended on it. That takes serious dedication to your role as a police officer.

Suspects had just killed a man 2 hours prior to that and were shooting at that officer during the pursuit.

He was just as likely to blow his own dick off from a ricochet as he was hitting the suspect through his windshield.

Shudder to think what these vatos might have done if that school door was unlocked, with kids inside.
Personally think the cops did an outstanding job. Above and beyond.
Definitely don't think they're deserving of criticism for it. Not in my humble opinion
