   You don't understand humans very well.   
      
   Have you never heard of "muscle memory"? It's a misnomer in that it   
   isn't actually the muscles that remember, but the meaning that people do   
   certain things automatically is correct.

   He probably was. But he put himself in a position to be under stress in   
   contravention of the tactics he was supposed to use.   
      
   > I wonder if he knows how many turns the steering wheel in his car is lock to   
   lock?   
      
   It doesn't matter. He can see her INTENT by the fact that she was   
   turning the wheel to the right...   
      
   ...and regardless, he could still simply have taken one more step before   
   stopping and been completely out of any path the vehicle could have   
   taken at that point.   
      
   "1-16.200 - USE OF DEADLY FORCE AND PROHIBITED RESTRAINT TECHNIQUES   
      
   A. Deadly Force   
      
   2. Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles.   
   Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless:   
   (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person   
   with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is   
   operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical   
   injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable   
   means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path   
   of the vehicle. Firearms may not be discharged from a moving vehicle   
   except in exigent circumstances. In these situations, an officer must   
   have an articulable reason for this use of deadly force."   
      
   Read that over and over and over until you get it:   
      
   "and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist,   
   which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle."
