1) He put himself in front of the car, which is against policy and training.
2) It is clear from the direction of her front wheel that she was turning away from the officer, not trying to hit him. If I saw an agent pointing a gun directly at me, with such rage, my instinct would be to try to get out of the way as well. He shot so quickly that there is no way his orders could have been clear.
3) Repeat point #1--he got directly in front of the car, which is absolutely idiotic.
4) The agents were giving conflicting orders, one telling her to get out of the way, another telling her to stop
5) The agent who aggressively pulled at her door created an unnecessary escalation (they had her license plate; they could have located her afterwards).
6) If the guy was hit, it was a slight brush. As you mention, the way he walked away with zero limp shows he was not even bruised.
7) He showed complete recklessness with those shots. Can you imagine if her child were still in the car? I also saw a bystander who was on the other side of the car; she could easily have been hit.
A bunch of ego-driven goons with zero professionalism or adequate training. They acted more like an angry mob than any of the protestors.
