What if it was the guys brother who's stayed out of the gang his whole life, just started an accountancy apprenticeship, can't afford a car and was lent that one by his sibling to get to his first big out of town client meeting? Point is people panic behind the wheel, we can't just shoot people who don't stop for the popo. This situation was entirely manufactured by the police, if they didn't want to fear getting run over, don't walk in front of the driver that's trying to escape.

Plod were clearly aware that the wankpanzer had been involved in a shooting incident, otherwise they wouldn't have sent an armed posse. He was trying to ram his way out, so had both hands on the wheel at the time, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to be concerned about what might be in the glove compartment. Although they didn't know who was driving, it clearly wasn't someone's old Mum, they tend not to bugger off at speed or ram cop cars.
I am no apologist for the cops, but on this occasion you can appreciate their concerns.
