Cop tried bumping the truck on a fucking two-lane road with a car coming the opposite way. Holy Cheez-its.

I remember them shooting at a hijacked FedEx truck
It couldn't go fast anyway, had a tracker and was stuck in traffic with cars everywhere.
It was going nowhere.
No negotiating or thinking, the cops just started firing.
They killed everyone in the truck (driver/victim also) and at least 1 (or more if I remember correctly) of the unlucky commuters in the line of fire.

They were thinking ... about how good the sex was going to be that night.

It's almost as it cops aren't intelligent.
