Lack of evidence? If it was only one person saying they believed the dog and pickaxe handle were in the back of the car to intimidate them is that enough evidence to prosecute? I wouldn't be happy going to court with just that.

There isn't a magic bag you can pull police officers out of when you get calls.
In this case I personally wouldn't have classed someone on the outside of a moving car a danger to the person inside, when the person driving refuses to stop then it becomes an immediate danger to life and warrants an immediate response even if that entails standing cops down from whatever they are dealing with.
Plus they did have three miles in which to find a patrol car from.
