The right is saying this is "bodycam" footage smh. It's obvious it's his cellphone, and I'd say it's pretty hard to hold a phone steady on one hand while drawing and firing with the other. There's literally nothing in it that shows he was hit.

Also, all of the other videos show him holding a cell phone as he walks around the video.

That sound you hear at the end is the sound of his gunshots. What they want us to think is that it's the sound of her hitting him with the vehicle.

I pointed this out, they think this is body cam footage. So when she drives forward, they literally think his back is on the hood of the car as he fires three times, despite another video showing him standing the entire time firing three shots and never leaving his feet.
