Wouldnt a cannon on a police helicopter solve a lot of
problems for law enforcement?

Until it missed and hit something innocent.

Is it possible to put a round right through the engine block
of a suspect fleeing and stop them from killing innocents?

Ask the Israelis, they have lots of experience taking out cars in an urban
environment. Then again, they aren't worried about collateral
damage..........

Seems like that kind of accuracy is possible now isnt it?

Perhaps a simplified low cost homing weapon. One round, one hit. Make it low
yield, just enough to do the job but not enough to take out too much if it
misses.

When those guys were robbing the bank in LA, seems like
it would have been an easy shot to make from a helicopter
even without a cannon.

Helo Sniper would be sufficient. Unfortunately it's not cost effective to
have every police helo carrying a trained sniper.

Whats up? public outcry or something?

Most likely public outcry would stop it, then the cost.
