that being said, a cop is taught to fire when someone is using or he believes will imminently use deadly physical force against them or someone else.

Wouldn't you also say that the cop should be firing AT something and not through tinted windows that he claims he couldn't see through?

well, here's the thing with that: you know someone is driving the car. and if you believe they are committing a major felony by using their car as a deadly weapon and you are responding with deadly force, you can just fire at the driver area.

if it is a justified shooting and a passenger in the car happens to get hit, the law kinda says, "too bad. you should not have been in the car with someone who was trying to kill someone else."

it's like a bank robber killing someone in a bank and they also charge the getaway driver with murder even though he never stepped foot in the bank.
