Under the law, Carter said, police are authorized to use whatever force is necessary. Police have the power to pursue a suspect, he said. Civilians don’t. “A private citizen’s ability to use deadly force is much more restricted,” Carter said. “It does not allow you to chase (a suspect) down.”
In the United States of America,
Police powers are derived from the citizins rights. Unless of cause we now live in a Police State.

The police can't pursue the perp and run over him three times either.
They can pursue and arrest him.
The husband could have arrested him too, but he can't legally hunt him down and kill him.
