It's such an evil game though, you have to wait for people to run out far enough so they don't have time to run back...

yep!!! Since I was using a trackpad, I had to really abuse that mechanic to make up for how unresponsive the car was to my finger movements. It took me a bit to realize that there are two eyeballs staring up at you from the pool of blood that is left over from getting a point. But I mean...they kind of asked for it by swarming through the street like that.
And as a cop, I am obviously above the law.
