Yes he is. However, is it an immediate threat to the officers?Is he driving at them? I coudn't see that and the whole incident was circa 13 seconds. If you go down the shoot to stop a car for being a lethal weapon then you are really saying it is ok to shoot any driver who fails to stop for police and a car chase ensues with that driver driving recklessly

If only they could just have stepped aside...

He was using the car as a weapon, so he was not unarmed.
Trying to run over armed police and expecting them not to react is ridiculous.

I would say that is the justification for the presence of armed officers but I'm having trouble reconciling the dude employing both hands to manouvre his car away with shooting him as being reaasonable force to prevent a crime
