If you shoot at the po-po, you gotta go down...

Then add with it the oblique angle they were firing at and it is not suprising the rounds did not penetrate through the car. We have found that Federal Tactical ammo does a nice job of penetrating laminated safety glass and sheet metal. They also have a bunker penetration round for certain rifle calibers.
Too bad in the the initial crash the squad underode the rear of the Taurus SHO (hard breaking by the Taurus raised its rear while hard breaking by the squad lowered its nose) . This underride lowered the delta-v of the impact which meant the interia switch for the fuel pump did not trip... Had he hit him square in the azz end it should have tripped the switch shutting the car off until it was re-set.
In the end, the cop did exactly what I would have done afforded with that opportunity.

Like you said fail to penetrate

Re: DAAAHHHHMMMM car chase
Too bad there wasn't a side cam in the Taurus to see the cop car coming. What a great finish. I'm sure some dirt bag lawyer is out there trying to sue the police department for "excessive force." He should of tapped the breaks to let the guy out of the door then rammed him.
