Honestly, please stop the misinformation.

Well I sure as hell don't want to shoot drunk drivers as they RUN away. What the hell man?
Ok, so Tasers have endless charges. They're 100% non lethal according to police so you don't have to shoot they guy unless you don't want to be the cop that got his Taser stolen.

Yes, policy choice. Based on what you're saying the policy is, when people run, try to catch them - presumably until you're putting yourself at risk by continuing to chase them.

Police discontinue chases all the time when the risk is too great and that includes risk to the person being chased. You don't shoot someone in order to save someone if that person is not threatening anyone.
