Re the chase: As a retired LEO, I would have had my partner and I just go up and pull them out of the car. Still funny, and I can see something like that happening.
That being said, I did get involved in a (somewhat) similar situation once. We were having an ice storm, where the temp is about 30deg F and it rains. The water freezes instantly on contact, into clear ice. Got a report of an armed robbery/kidnapping in progress at a drug store. Off I go, lights, siren, waving the cigarette lighter out the window, ect. All on street tires. A guy walking on the sidewalk PASSED me. I did pass him back about 1/2 block later, as the road sloped down hill at that point. So much for my dirt-riding and trials skills. And the call turned out to be bogus.

You guys ever see the 50 Caliber one? I don't know how to put the U-tube up but here is the link. Turn the speakers up you'll hear the bullet come back.
