    In the current climate jumping a red light and not stopping when the police tell you to is going to get a very aggressive response.

    And so is really not a clever idea.

    Ultimately even if the car was not filled with explosives/terrorists etc you can be pretty sure it was not being driven by someone with a clear rap sheet.

    FTFY. Those little details are important.

    Brussels: Police Open Fire on Car Allegedly With Explosives | Time.com
    Police in Brussels have opened fire on a car they believed was filled with explosives.

    Shots were fired after a high-speed chase through the suburb of Molenbeek when the car went through a red light and refused to stop for a police check.

    close enough.

    Brussels police opened fire on a car packed with explosives after a high-speed chase through the suburb of Molenbeek.

    Shots were fired at the vehicle after it became stuck in traffic and the driver reversed into a police car.

    Police cordoned off the area and told residents to remain indoors while military units checked for explosives.
    Probably a brexiteer upset with JC's drinks tab.
