I find it odd you would classify an officer as "rogue" for trying to do his job.

Being said, that endeavoring to do so evolved into ugliness could conceivably be traced to his situational actions but NOT once it devolved into protecting his own life once backed to his vehicle.

At that point, John Q. gets shot.

It's just the training continuum. Think of it as a lower case felony murder rule: the lawbreaker causes their own death by threatening life of an officer? Said death is NOT on the officer.

Oh, sure, potentially ugly pictures can be painted and someone might be awarded some municipality funds to make it go away but the officer keeps their job, pension, and no fault is likely to be assigned.

Why would it? The escalation to life threatening occurs the moment an officer is assaulted with even the tiniest ability to produce bodily harm.

If shots were fired in the car, that happened.
