Someone mentioned in the last thread what if the police were pursuing John Dillinger.

1. We have very few John Dillingers right now, so that’s a big hypothetical.
2. If he doesn’t have a gun on him, then you pursue, not shoot.

“But what if the car he gets into has one?”

If you knew it after he got out of the car or you think he might have one, then you get in between him and the car so he can’t get back in it. If he starts shooting after he gets in the car, then you respond.
