That was like a clown car scene, you wondered how many people were going to come out of the car...

Looks to me like 4 Asians/Asian-Americans. Were they Hispanic, would have been at least twice that number

So maybe the driver was trying his best imitaion of the Brian O'Conner Fast N Furious old school move, diving under the Semi Trailer, he just didn't have his ride low enough...

Until I saw the officers with weapons drawn I thought maybe the little unintentionally changed lanes into the semi.
That cars will still driving by when bullets may fly was a bit surprising.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The school passing by was surprising. Imagine defending yourself with that behind your target. Being on the freeway at that time of the morning it may have been empty, but how would one know for sure?

Hey, they got places to be, yo.
Although sometimes it may be safer to be a moving target than a stationary backstop.

What is traffic supposed to do? The whole incident started as a chase and quickly evolved into pulling people out of the wrecked car. It’s not as if the road was closed or that someone approaching the scene would know what was happening until they drove past the stop. At that point it was definitely better to keep moving rather than sit next to the scene with traffic approaching from behind.
Except briefly for one point near the beginning and then at the end with multiple officers, the officers appear to be positioned so that any lines of fire would have been parallel to the road, or even toward the barriers on the right. The most obvious Geeze, guys! was at the end when three officers formed a circular firing squad, with two in a straight line with each other and the arrestee in the middle.

Wonder who is going to pay for all the damage
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
