I thought about this one for a while, and there is a point of consideration I'd like to add to the mix that I haven't seen mentioned yet.
Police vehicles carry a lot of extra equipment in the rear of the vehicle. Shotguns, beanbag launchers, med kits, riot gear, most everything an officer will/may need on their shift is in the back. In a cruiser, that's in the trunk. In an SUV, that's in the back hatch area.
IF the rear window of the SUV was broken, anyone behind the SUV could have access to that equipment.
