Autos are inherently dangerous. At sixty five miles per hour a human being has twenty times the kinetic energy of a rifle bullet. At the same speed a car has the kinetic energy as a 57 mm World War Two anti-tank gun projectile.

Sixty five miles and hour is about half the speed a person hits the ground after falling through the sky for miles.

I'm sure no matter what method the police attempted would have resulted in a law suit against them. Either too excessive, or not enough action on their part.
