You’re wrong. No cop is trained to stand in front of a running vehicle occupied by a suspected criminal.

That’s insane.

I’m wrong? The manual is displayed and the maneuver explained starting at time stamp 2:17.

The video opens with retired Sheriff Russ Martin introducing himself and making clear he will not be a making a judgement whether the officer was justified in his actions. He proceeds to narrate the events that occurred that fateful day.

The footage shows an officer at the driver’s side window telling Young she has been accused of stealing and repeatedly requesting that she get out of the vehicle. A second officer is standing in front of the car with his gun drawn. Young, however, refuses to obey the officer’s commands. She can also be heard shouting “What? Are you going to shoot me?”
The woman then puts the car in gear and slams the accelerator. The police officer directly in front of the vehicle is hit and dragged for several feet.

Fearing for his personal safety, the cop fires a single shot through the windshield in self-defense. The car moves approximately 50 additional feet according to Fox News before stopping in front of the Kroger.

The two officers break into the vehicle, retrieve a mortally wounded Young, and begin to render medical assistance. Fox News notes an emergency room doctor on scene also helped.

So what? Maybe he wasn’t “trained” to do that, but that is where he ended up.
