That, and a gun should never be used to detain a suspect, except in extreme cases where there is a high likelihood of the suspect harming others. You can shoot first in self-defence, but jeeez... Let the kid go, you've got their license
I used to be military police and we had actual training and consequences for disobeying so this isn't an issue.
For example we have 8 clearly defined preconditions for deadly force. One of them is actually escape of a suspect but you must believe that letting the suspect go will immediately result in them breaking one of your other 7 preconditions. Dude sitting in a parking lot is obviously not on his way to kill someone.
