You are conceding the point that it is not in fact normal in other parts of the world for the police to shoot the driver as a means of avoiding being hit by the car. Doing so does not even make sense from a practical point of view. The car will most likely keep coming towards you anyway.

The incident you linked where the police officer sustained life threatening injuries (they didn’t die, as far as I can tell) seems to have been a collision between two cars caused by dangerous driving, so it’s not really a relevant example.

The point is not to stop the car. The point is to stop the driver, because that person is obviously willing to kill someone using the car as a weapon. That person should be stopped ASAP.

The cited articles include charges of murder, highlighting that point.
