Your argument seems to be that all the responsibility lies with police, simply because they’re police.
She wasn’t just a random pregnant woman. She partially matched the description they’d been given (female, white tank top, part hispanic) and while she didn’t have a chest tattoo and was pregnant these might not have been immediately obvious - we don’t know how far along she was and they probably didn’t have a chance to look for a tattoo before she jumped in the car. Her refusal to identify herself (which she is legally obligated to do) further makes her seem like their suspect. The police had every reason to think she was the knife robber.
Assume for a moment: what if she was the knife robber? The police are then faced with the urgency of preventing further crime - if they allow her to escape, there’s a high likelihood that she will a) cause harm to someone with reckless driving while trying to escape, or b) go on to rob someone else, which could easily lead to harm if they don’t comply. The police have to stop her.
The police definitely deserve criticism and should be looking to modify their behaviours, in general. Here though, the criticism doesn’t have much weight behind it, because the suspect holds a significant amount of responsibility for what happened. She did not identify herself to the police. She inadvertently led them to believe she was their violent suspect. She tried to escape and drive through police officers. We can certainly discuss whether or when it was necessary to smash the window (in particular, I think smashing the passenger window was stupid - if they’d smashed the driver’s window she might not have reacted so quickly) however the police had every right to detain her and use force due to her non-compliance.
These are peoples’ lives. And police have to balance the suspect’s life against those of the suspect’s potential victims. Again, the police had every reason to think she was their knife suspect, who could go on to harm someone. If she was, and the police didn’t stop her, and she did go on to kill someone, then the police would be blamed for their inaction.
My dismissal is because you’re assuming perfect knowledge of the situation. That isn’t practicable, and is downright unlikely in these circumstances - and a big part of that is because of the actions of the suspect.
It’s within the legal framework for police to use reasonable force to stop a violent criminal. They had every reason to think she was their violent criminal.
How would you suggest the legal framework be changed, such that it could both protect a non-compliant but non-violent criminal while simulatenously allowing necessary force to be used to stop violent criminals? The issue at the core is mistaken identity, but the suspect refused to identify themselves, so how can the legal system or police fix that?
