Actually, the case law seems pretty clear in the other direction. Deadly force is not justified once an officer has evaded a vehicle that might hit them.

As shown by the officers POV, it wasnt evaded. Lies spread faster than the truth.
It shows no such thing. The officer got out of the way and was fine afterwards in both videos. This is a man who was angry and possibly traumatized by a prior incident involving a car. He should not have been allowed to carry a weapon
