[quote=Anonymous]I think one of the problems is the lack of police foot patrol policies (and presumably car chase policies). Here are some interesting facts from a article on the shooting (linked below):

"Davis [the police chief] said on Thursday that the department — and most police departments across the country — currently has no policy regarding foot pursuits. (A 2012 study found that more than 85% of police departments did not maintain a foot pursuit policy.) Research has found that over an eight-year period in Chicago, half of all police shootings occurred after or during a foot pursuit. A study of foot pursuits and police shootings in Philadelphia also reached a similar conclusion. Last year, Chicago joined cities like Baltimore and Philadelphia in implementing rules about when officers can engage in a pursuit, after two foot pursuits in recent years ended in the death of 22-year-old Anthony Alvarez and 13-year-old Adam Toledo. The new policy bans officers from chasing people on foot only because they’ve run away, or they’re believed to have committed minor offenses, like drinking in public or traffic violations."
