Were those powder balls or something he was shooting?...

I remember a yahootube video a few years ago (can't find it now) that went like this:

Robber running from foreign police in a stolen car. Not sure what country it was in.

The police car rammed PIT'ed the stolen car. Car ended up smacking a tree. Robber got out to run but ankle was trapped in the door. Police guy calmly walked up to car (I'm assuming telling the man to get on teh ground or something, don't know what language it was). Driver got loose as soon as cop got to him, slugged cop and took off running. Police drew down, fired. Robber collaspsed. Police clamly walked to robber and put on handcuffs. Police kicked him a couple of times to get him to stand up. Drug robber to the police car. End of tape. It was hilarious. The cop never broke a sweat or raised his voice or anything.
