It looked to me that he wanted the guy out of the car to arrest him for possible DUI and the guy was not having any of that

usual protocol does not include the stopped car taking off.

Responses:

I'm sure it happens enough that there are protocols to cover that. And that they don't include shooting the driver in the head. -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:42 11
- Obviously something was done wrong, but letting an intoxicated driver to race off is not the right solution either. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 13:43 10
  - Actually that is one option. Depends on the area, traffic, time of day, etc. - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:46 9
    - During the day on a campus means plenty of pedestrians. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 13:48 8
      - You seem to be arguing that shooting the driver in the head was a proper response. -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:49 2
        
        and you're not reading me properly either. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 13:55 1
        
        "Seems" it seems that way. - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:56
      - It wasn't actually on campus. -- nm - Ender Jul 29, 13:49 4
        
        Was it on school property? -- nm - tobor.2 Jul 29, 13:52 3
        
        He was spotted on campus, and by the time the officer had called it in and everything he was already off campus. -- nm - Ender Jul 29, 14:09 1
        
        Then they should have called the city police to take care of him when he crossed the border. That's generally proper procedure. -- nm* - tobor.2 Jul 29, 14:10
        
        No, but close enough to be within the officer's jurisdiction. -- nm - mara Jul 29, 14:03
