I read some speculation from a firearms trainer that this could have been the result of sympathetic muscle response.

Officer shoots motorist, Charged with murder

That might be true, if so he's probably guilty of manslaughter, but murder is a tough sell. Especially when the prosecutions argument refuting that the cop was knocked to the ground by the car is plainly bull$hit.

It all comes down to whether the cop reasonably believed that his life was in danger. This will be an interesting one to watch.
