If deadly force is appropriate, it isn't murder, it is justifiable homicide. LE status isn't a requirement for justifiable homicide.

Don't expect your car insurance to cover the damage, since it is an intentional act.

This. If its a good shoot, its a good shoot regardless if you're LEO or not. Don't believe the shills on this site that claim if you're not a cop and you are engaged in a self defense shoot you're going down for murder.

There is another great video... I think from Alaska where a officer uses his patrol car to take out a suspect who had just crashed his vehicle, and was using it for cover to shoot at approaching officers...

I no can find....

I recently had active shooter training and this very scenario was brought up. And just to add to the correct responses from my other brothers, yes. Justifiable homicide.

What I thought was also great is that he kept the car from getting squirrelly in the rain. I did hear the tires lose traction but under pressure and in that situation, I think he did an outstanding job in eliminating the threat.

I'm not a LEO, but it seems like it would be the way to go, rather than get out of your car and expose yourself

There was actually a somewhat similar scenario used by oral boards several years ago.
You are on patrol, driving down the street and see a suspect a couple hundred feet ahead of you lighting a Molotov Cocktail and getting ready to throw it into a crowd of people. What do you do?
