Another way to frame this is .... if the officer had witnessed this same interaction as a third party and saw a vehicle nearly run over a pedestrian like this.

I can only imagine the number of charges, suits and claims that would go flying around between the pedestrian, the driver, and the police and none of it would have been reported by the local news.
