Five police injured in Logan, Redcliffe and Brisbane

Shots have been fired and five police officers have been injured during a major investigation in Logan City, Brisbane and Redcliffe.

Sounds like it's all on. Looks like the guy was caught though which is good.

That led them to a house in Dalton Street, where a four-wheel drive reversed out of a driveway at high speed toward three police officers.

Meanwhile in real estate news house prices in Dalton St fall 5000%.

Two officers fired shots at the car hoping to stop it.

Hmm, does this seem right? I suppose if it's a kidnapping there is reason to open fire.

We're a little way away so I think we're safe.

Presumably, you mean after they have ascertained that the kidnapee is not in the target area

it's a cost thing (well thats what the gov has kept saying), they do have some light planes etc, which do about 90% of the work that a chopper would do, the only thing the planes lack is hovering (and land, but there is a limited need for that)

Well in Melb a chick was just fired from the police force after shooting at a getaway vehicle and the media reported that VIC police are not allowed to shoot at vehicles for 'minor infringements' (not sure what the charge was).

lol. I think the off chance or stopping/slowing the vehicle are largely outnumbered by the higher chance of injuring somebody. I imagine it would need to be a pretty serious matter to shoot at a vehicle (such as about to be run down) cause i cant think of a time watching Cops where they shoot a vehicle. Just follow and wait for them to fuck up.

Yeah, exactly. So to have not one but two officers pumping rounds at a vehicle I guess the premise is that the kidnapped person is in the vehicle and it's worth the risk to try to save their life or something? (i.e., by shooting at the wheels to disable the vehicle).

I think, though I am not sure, that if you use your vehicle as a weapon and 'aim' it at Police, ie ram them, that constitutes attempted murder and they then are able to open fire to diffuse the threat, or something along those lines. :)
