He's walking quickly, but he's obviously not walking in their direction. They are on the left, he's going to the right. That's clearly what is happening. The cop firing his gun is actually walking towards the guy as he starts to shoot him. What you are saying happened is the opposite of what happened in the video we all can see.

Depicting this guy as being depicted as a Saint is the real red herring. It's like you just made that up. Really, who is depicting him as a Saint?
