Perhaps, but cops should really stop trying to stop people from driving away by getting in front of their cars on foot. Some people will just run them the hell over. Big time drug bust for a few grams of MJ hardly seems worth anyone dying over, on either side.
How else are they going to get in on all these fun shoots? They give themselves instant exoneraion and possibly know suspect confusion makes continued vehicle movement possible.
According to the understood rules in a civilized society, that trite opinion ignores the decision of the person who fails to take the safe path. Usually the 'suicide by cop' imbecile.

Indeed. I’ve had someone (not a cop) do that to me. Given “fight or flight” instincts, it’s hard to not just gun the engine.
