While I sympathize with the lot of cops on the beat, and the shite they have to deal with day in and day out, using language like this to justify shooting at a moving vehicle is a step too far.
It seems the media are bending over to help police HQ justify their actions & an escalation of the use of firearms but plod.
May be it was in a rural area ? maybe the line of fire was safe ? but who knows ? Shooting at a moving vehicle at speed has a low probability of success.
