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

Is it possible to put a round right through the engine block
of a suspect fleeing and stop them from killing innocents?
Seems like that kind of accuracy is possible now isnt it?

Not consistently in the real world. And 20mm rounds that miss have a nasty
tendency to go hit things and cause damage in places you don't want. Police
forces have enough problems as it is ensuring rounds fired from their
current array of small arms don't hit innocent people when a target is
missed.
