connected with the headrest ... and that chair would've flipped forward and the suspect would've spilled out onto the walkway.

It'd be no problem to do that, good size man, running at a decent clip.

But NO!

They might risk a little bit of injury to themselves, so instead they gotta pump the disabled guy full of lead.

Yes, and that was a female cop, and she's not the one who executed the man Hugh_Lebowski Dec 2021 #22

You're correct, the male cop shot him, not the female officer. I could only bear to watch it once. sop Dec 2021 #26
