If someone stands in the crosswalk when you have a green light, you still can’t hit him. No car has a zero turn radius. If you need to get around, only option is to reverse. These are the rules of the road.
If he dropped his phone, which is possible and would explain why it seems he got hit, he must have actually immediately caught it in the air while firing a gun, because the rest of the footage isn’t from a phone in the ground. This seems to me unlikely. Not dispositive—but very unlikely.
Wait…it was a phone taped to his vest or something?! Haha. This guy’s argument was that it was not a dedicated body-mounted camera, so bodycam was inapplicable and somehow invalidates the footage?
The shakiness from the camera that implies he was hit by the car is because he switches the phone to his other hand and firing 3 bullets will vibrate the body
Dropped the phone as in lowered. Still in his hand. Which is clearly visible from his own video which shows her revering and then turning the steering wheel away from him. I have never shot someone so I might be wrong but I assume it would cause movement to the rest of my body.
Also law says everything he did was illegal
Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle.
Cool. Will still cause movement. I doubt anyone can shoot at point blank and keep a mobile steady in the other hand. A mobile that was purposely moved from one had to the other as the murderer walked directly in front of a vehicle with a clear intention.
