Any type of warrants or criminal history related from dispatch would lead to a heightened sense of awareness, or even fear. Then to have that guy not comply and resist arrest and reach into a car where they can’t see? Come on...don’t resist arrest, don’t get shot. I know you’re arguing that resistance shouldn’t mean being shot and there should be a grey area, but that would be the simplest way to avoid that. The other mistakes he made ultimately lead to the officer pulling the trigger.
A round from a hand gun wont push you into a car for two reasons, first the round isnt that forceful second the round is pointed along the car, not pointing inwards, if it did push him it would have been straight ahead into the door, the only way you end up sitting in the seat of a car with your spine severed is because you were actually over the seat as you lost the use of your legs (which is instant)
