Did his ragdoll physics flip the fuck out? What the hell happened? That can't have thrown him that far...

Anyway, great example of the paranoia and defensiveness the police have to work with. Wish the officer had opted to move instead of shoot, but glad he's okay.

The problem is that far too many wish to treat every encounter as if it's like this one.
Not every incident is an attack with a deadly weapon, for instance; the man with no warrants and with his hands up who was repeatedly shot along with his, now deceased, 6 year old child last week did not need the paranoia and defensiveness from the murdering cops.
The unnecessary paranoia and defensiveness displayed in that case has ruined at LEAST 5 lives permanently.

My guess is that his camera came lose...

Is this even an attack or just a case of panic at having a gun pointed at you, and then freezing up instead of following the curve in the road?

It seems like a knee jerk reaction - but it's kinda stupid when a car is coming towards you and you would like them to break to shoot them in the face resulting in no break being pressed.
Easier said from the comfort of my arm chair though.
