How much more simply would you like me to put it?
The point is you haven't come up with anything that would have likely resulted in less fatalities than their solution did.
If they did the spike strip and the SUV rolled and they died -- we'd still be having this argument.
If they did the chopper thing, and in the midst of the hour long chase 4 cars were forced off the road and killeed 4 people -- we'd still be having this argument.
If they boxed in the car and the SUV rammed the front car, locking bumpers with the cop and spinning out of control killing the occupants and the cop -- we'd still be having this argument.
No matter what the cops did, if the people in the SUV or any innocent bystanders were killed, you'd still be having a cow over the whole thing. And all the available options were at least as likely to result in fatalities as the PIT maneuver was.
