The cops didn't create shit ... The criminal did.
For all the cops know, the criminal could have stolen the car two blocks over 5 minutes ago, and has a woman locked in the trunk.
He could also be rushing home because his mom had a heart attack. We can't let cops go around shooting people for what they MIGHT have done.

I think their priorities are in the wrong places.
