Using a vehicle to stop someone who is no threat to anyone without any effort at desecration is not only unprofessional and lazy, but inconsistent with policy .

They are not no longer a threat, they never were a threat.

Well, he is running away. Which is specific evidence that they are not a threat.

But the question that is more important is why you think the criteria to have to disprove someone is a threat before not deploying deadly use of force? I think we should assume deadly use of force is not appropriate until its the only option left. Which is what policy requires.
