I think the worst recommendation is not allowing police officers to shoot at vehicles. I think if anyone in the vehicle has a weapon then that vehicle should be shot at. I think it would be best if the officers tried shooting the tires or something on the car, rather than shooting the individuals inside the car.

You need to keep your elbow close to your body not sticking out or the ball will go all wonky. Make sure your feet are facing where the ball needs to go…
