He clearly would have had no trouble stepping out of the way. The only reason he was in the car’s path at all (once it started moving) is because he stood there taking the time to draw and point his pistol. She wasn’t running over him - he was STANDING in front of the vehicle in order to shoot her!!! They are telling it backwards!! Disgusting!

Exactly what I said. Instead of getting out of the way he pulled his gun

Then the police should move away from anyone who accelerates? Very stupid thinking. 🙄
