The officer put himself in harms way when he approached the vehicle from the front during an arrest. Police are supposed to approach from the SIDE.
Then, when Rene tried to drive away, she turned her steering to point her wheels AWAY from the officer, which is clearly visible from the officer's cellphone video.
The officer sees this and fires several shots anyway, and continues to shoot when he is at the side of the vehicle.
He was approaching the vehicle from the side.
She backed up with the
wheels pointed left.
She then turned the wheels
straight putting the officer directly in front of the vehicle, stepped on the accelerator causing the tires to spin out.
As the vehicle lunged forward as she hit him.
The officer points his pistol at her, she sees the gun & turns the
wheels to the right.
The officer fires through the front windshield.
As she dives by he fires 2 more times through the drivers side window in order to neutralize the threat to other officers.
Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided their nations into two classes, wolves and sheep.”
