The cop was standing in front of her car when he was hit, and it didn't appear to me that he could have gotten out of the way. I don't think it was her intention to do bodily harm but that makes no difference re the rules that govern the use of deadly force.
This might call into question whether a police officer should stand in front of a vehicle in that sort of situation. Probably would have been better to drive a cruiser in front of the vehicle and/or smash the side window for noncompliance with a lawful order.
Won't be surprised if the officers are charged with murder.
