Would it not be better to apprehend this man without inflicting severe injuries or worse so he could be questioned, who knows he may not even be carrying a gun, or it could be an imitation gun, or he could be the wrong person.
There are a hundred possibilities, so to go in all guns (or Cars) blazing is in my opinion unnecessary and risky.
This actual footage showing a cop car taking a man down at full speed is unbelievable and shows just how far policing has come in the United States.

it's clear from the video and the radio coms that everyone knew he was armed and shooting. you don't have time for what ifs when you are trying to protect the public from an armed and dangerous man. not to mention your own safety and the safety of your fellow brave officers.
i think you are being a bit of a monday morning quarterback nedusa.
