These would have been experienced police officers who normally would use their own discretion in this type of situation
I think the officers on the ground would have assessed the danger - i think you are right , given their no pursuit policy , this would also (ramming) have been deemed a danger to the public and poo pooed by command
Would like to think ramming this scumbag would have been an automatic reflex given the situation , prior experiences with driver inc stabbing , kidnapping , drug use and flight from prior pursuit
Maybe VicPol need to reassess all their pursuit policies and stop listening to pollies , lawyers and bleeding hearts because London to a brick the crims don't care about anyone
