    I don’t know what his last words were but I know they were something stupid. Maybe:

    ‘You can’t shoot me, I have a form!’

    woman bystander shot… They can’t fucking just shoot each other and leave everyone else out of it.

      Hopefully it brings consequences. Every time a bullet is fired, it is required (and I guess that must be in quotes for police officers…) that you be responsible for that bullet’s consequences. If you shoot at a legitimate threat, but hit the bystander, you should get charged. Cop, not-cop, firefighter, good samaritan with a gun, whatever. Charge them.

        In many jurisdictions if anyone is hurt related to a crime, the criminal is legally responsible for all damages.

        So for a situation like this, the criminal would be responsible for all damages stemming from their initial crime when they chose to run. Any damage in the chase or subsequent actions until they are killed or in custody.
