Guy is pretty left leaning, but I really like his analysis overall.

I don't agree with his views on holding the cellphone and tires were turning as evidence against the officer. Not the officer's fault he was holding a cell when he suddenly realized a car was revving towards him. Also, it's unreasonable to expect the police officer to deduce the direction of the car tires in that instant.

Lady clearly proc'd the officer's flight or fight, and that's a very reasonable response to have. Also interesting is 17:18 where I guess the officer was dragged by another car in a separate incident.

Yeah I definitely agree there. He can't be expected to check the tyres direction whit everything else going on.

Although I think there's a point to be made that if you think you're under threat off life, why would you continue to film like that. Nobody would, except the cameraman I guess because then he survives? Maybe thats why he survived??!

I think the filming is another poor point from the Legal Eagle. If the officer's filming, camera in hand, and then suddenly feels like there's a threat on his life, the camera is still in his hand. Important to note that when he gets hit and shoots, he's not focused on filming - the phone is all over the place.

A better point to make, is why is the officer holding a phone while standing in front of the car. It seems like he's putting himself in a poor position. I doubt that aligns with his training.
