How long does it take to get your foot off the gas onto the brake?
Watching the video, I don’t see evidence of braking until after the patrol car had gone completely over the suspect.
This caused me to question what was going on in the officer’s mind.
Assuming the cop had his eye on the runner, yes. We see what the dash cam recorded, but we really don’t know where Commin’s focus was at that instant. There’s no way to know.
If he did it on purpose he’s gotta be one dumb cop to do it on video.
