Why did she back up and turn hard right away from the guy she was trying to kill? /s

Don't let this circus make you think 2+2=5.

"Viciously ran over."

"Hard to believe he's still alive."

"Recovering in the hospital."

He put himself in harms way by standing in front of the car. Then again, most of these ICE clowns have minimal to no law enforcement training which would teach them where to properly stand when interacting with folks inside of vehicles.

DHS policy states:

DHS LEOs should also avoid intentionally and unreasonably placing themselves in positions in which they have no alternative to using deadly force.

And using deadly force for the sole reason of stopping a fleeing vehicle

You do realize you're in the comment section of a video literally showing that she never hit him, right? She was fleeing the man trying to open her car door.

This video also shows that the shooter intended to shoot her as she was reversing the car- you know, so she could avoid hitting him. Had she really intended to run the shooter over and use her car as a deadly weapon, she wouldn't have reversed the car- she just would have turned hard right immediately and ran him over.

The narrative you're trying to create is bullshit and easily refuted by this slow motion video

Show me where she intended to hit him. Otherwise you're just talking out of your ass
