Apologies for the length, thought I’d add a little context but sort of got carried away. 
About eighteen months ago tommy525 started a thread about police shooting an overstayed foreign worker:
According to the Taipei Times article linked in that post, the police said that they shot the man after he “pushed a police officer and attempted to flee a roadside inspection. . . .”
Here are a couple of Chinese-language news videos about it (both are NOT SUITABLE FOR WORK 
):

There was a thread about four years ago that dealt, among other things, with the issue of when it is appropriate for the police to use firearms. I posted some government information about that issue, some of it Chinese and some of it in English:
I’d better not try to read the Chinese part of the above-linked post, but anyway, I think that at least in some circumstances, the police here seem to have fairly broad permission to use firearms.
About eleven years ago there was a thread about a shooting that came at the end of a fairly lengthy, apparently mostly low-speed chase that seems to have begun in Wanhua in Taipei and ended in Tucheng, in what was then Taipei County (now New Taipei City). In that thread there was some discussion of police conduct, and there was also a poll:
A post in the thread quotes this Taipei Times article:
This video appears to contain at least one or more segments of the chase (I hope this is the right video), and is NOT SUITABLE FOR WORK :
