That video is misleading, whether intentionally or not. It is a cellphone video, for one, and he is holding it about a foot in front of him (standard cellphone video position). When the car comes at him, it looks like it hits him because it goes *under* where he is holding the phone. You can see him standing 12 inches away and leaning forwards during the first and second shots in the picture attached. Also, if he was really hit, he probably would have dropped his phone and / or at least limped away, but neither happened. It was an optical illusion. When you take a slightly closer look and see how the trick was done, you can call it out. image

This is a retarded take. The shooting officer had his cellphone in his right hand as he walked around the vehicle. Less than five seconds pass from phone in right hand to pulling gun. Training on avoiding getting pulled under a car is to shift weight onto hood to not have feet pulled under. The other officer has his arm in the car and is swung around, he could have easily been dragged by the car. This officer reaponded to protect his life and his fellow officers life. The driver under no circumstance has the right to drive away with an officer standing in front and to the side with them ordering her out of the car. Officers have every right to use force when threatened.
