Once the tank hung up, by opening the left rearmost top grill door, they would have had access to the tank's steering linkage, a dozen turns with a 7/16 box would have left the guy unable to steer...then it would have been a matter of waiting him out...and in a tank in a California summer it wouldn't have been long before he gave up.
Instead, two cops pop the loaders hatch and blast the guy with a dozen 9mm...
