Pretty sure that police can't discharge firearms unless in purposes of subduing a violent suspect or something like that. Shooting into the air could potentially kill someone a mile away.
Which is exactly what the officer did, the shooting into the air part, not the killing someone.

Of course it's a re-enactment that says "ACTUAL POLICE FOOTAGE", so whatever.
