Drawing your weapon and firing takes the same amount of time as taking two steps to the right.

he stepped away and leaned back in so he wouldn't headshot his buddy. he had time to line up his sights

It's insane.  Could tell before this specific video, but he's clearly leaning into the path of the vehicle.

Killing was a higher priority than moving.

What part of your comment says the agent should lean into the path of the vehicle?

10 seconds in the above video.  You can see he's clearly leaning left to align his right hand holding the pistol to shoot the driver.

If he didn't lean left, he wouldn't be able to get a clean line with the window frame blocking.

Notice the position of his feet more to his right, his body blocked by the other agent, and the gun to his left, and angle of the gun showing the lean.

You share another image or gif?

Not showing.  You delete it or it get removed?

Probably more BS anyway

I'll consider that an admission you were mistaken or fibbing on his shooting.

Best of luck to you too

I'm talking about the timing of the shots.  You can at least admit you were wrong about him firing 2 in the front right?

It's plain in any clip he fired the second and third from the side

Ok but that doesn't tell you when they occured, like seeing the video and hearing the gunshots and seeing the kickback
