Let's say you're absolutely 100% correct. Does that mean that claiming that you've been hit, diving onto the ground, and unloading a full clip at a handcuffed individual inside your own vehicle is the appropriate immediate response?

I was shot at once, and in the moment, you're not sure that you haven't been shot. Sometimes you can be in shock and not know because of adrenaline, it's a real thing. It's hard to explain how things happen in the moment.

I was once on a second story and watched the trees jump into the air, only understanding after a few seconds that what happened was the floor collapsed and I fell to the ground. Life doesn't afford the ability to process things well when they happen quickly.
