I know online - probably elsewhere - I've noted dozens of "why do they do that on TV" stuff.
One of them is why do people run in a straight line - in the street - when a car is chasing them - when jumping a guard rail or running off road down a hill pretty much stops them.
Another is one we saw on "The Rookie" the other night - where two cops defending against a mob of masked hoodlums get their asses handed to them, shot in the face, deep stab wound in the back - ---- so - when you see that TWO GUYS take out 3/4ths of your attack squad, why do you fight to the LAST MAN? Why don't you do like in Top Gun - and run like hell? Same episode - guys with bullet-proof shields and our heroes are shooting at the shields - dammit - they're NOT covering their face or their shins to their feet. Fire a spray of bullets at the squad's FEET.
How about this - you're running through the street and a sniper is atop a roof - and he manages to NOT lead his target as you run across his line of fire? You're running down a straight long corridor - and they're spraying bullets down the hall - how can ALL OF THEM MISS? There's no other place for the bullets to go.
Not even going to mention the "shoot the tire" stuff.
