What's wrong with following the stolen car until some back-up arrives so it can be boxed in or rammed off the road?

#1 could cause an accident and kill an innocent person ( the kid was in no way innocent)
#2 its not an on the spot death penalty. the cop might have over reacted (shot to much) but nowhere in the article did i see how many times the kid was shot. the officer fired 10 times but how many was the kid hit. maybe the cop was trying to disable the vehicle ( no one can know or will know but that guy)
for me to hear on the spoth death penalty is outragous. was the office outside the car approaching the other car, did he just step out? or did he fire through the windsheild of his car?
each diffrent detail determins how you react. if the pope was charging at me with his car in an attempt to hurt me or because he wanted to be a hero i would have done the same as the officer. the ammount of times i shot would probably depend on if i was outside the car... ect
