Police shoot at man 60 times after he drives through mall and hits 14 people

This is near Ft. Hood. Those cops do not understand the physics of a pit maneuver to stop a moving vehicle and their pursuit was dangerous for civilians. Their shooting skills are embarrassingly poor. They are clueless how to shoot and reload.
My co-worker "maybe future son inlaw" joined cadets as a teen and learned to shoot/guns. Now trying to be a cop - or what ever - teaching new police recruit - they can't shoot he says. Or are to afraid.
Actually, it is pretty hilarious in a way that they couldn't stop him in a 20 minute chase on the highway and through a JC Penny.
Another guy who has never been in a fight with anyone and has no idea how difficult is to deal with an unpredictable opponent.
How often do you think police shoot at moving vehicles or attempt a pit maneuver in their career?
Keyboard warrior.
While I could not find reliable statistics, in Georgia, just one state, it was used 2000 times between 2019 and 2023. Sure, Georgia the police do what they want, and not care about collateral damage, but your response was that PIT is rare is wrong. See https://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-st...ts-toll/93638ed1-853a-4110-b39c-9a942c93541e/ I think PITS are used a lot.
I don't think they shoot often at moving vehicles, unless on the hood! https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/...ver-on-hood-of-moving-car-near-bayfront-park/
Seeing how the incident in question happened in Killeen, Texas, data for the state of Georgia is irrelevant.
Killeen has a total of 265 sworn officers policing a city with a total population of 150,000, the size of greater Sudbury which has 270 officers. Killeen took a total of 17,027 calls a year while Sudbury took 64,752 calls a year.
You go ahead believing that Killeen has officers who practice the pit maneuver on a consistent and regular basis that they should have been proficient at it.

The cop tries the maneuver at 1:25 but it doesn't work...Looks like he went a little to far to the wheel. I'm imagining it's not something they get tp practice often and actual chases are an adrenaline dump affecting performance.
