What a strange video. Time goes backwards, if you look at the 1:40 that changes to 1:37, etc. as the video proceeds.
The actions are not in order. Cop cars suddenly appear, then vanish. A helper is absent, then vanishes. The turn signal goes on, then off.
A video like that would not be of much use in court.
It does seem that the officer’s actions were justified, since the driver appears to have fired twice, with puffs of vapor coming from the window of his car.
