RE: IIRC the subsequent shooting happened while he was fleeing.
Nope, he was not shot at the back. He was CHARGING Police officer Wilson, who told him to stop. He was shot IN FRONT.
Yes, stand corrected, technically. What I was thinking of is that after the initial assault of the officer in the car he apparently tried to move away only to inexplicably turn back.
Good points.
Unless the giant was a graceful ballet dancer gliding backwards he was charging forward aggressively to get Wilson. He was shot in front as you said.
