But in the case with the lady with 4 kids? Sounds a bit overblown for the situation indeed.

But here in Europe cops rarely even draw their guns (and in some countries don't even carry them)

Isn't it crazy they couldn't just follow her until she stopped and got out of her rental and then assess the risk of contact? We should probably change our police hiring and training processes.

Unless they can assess the situation without being observed, that could end up worse. If it's a carjacking, it could lead to dead hostages. They're trained to move fast once visible.
