Also, keep in mind that they almost ran over a federal agent while trying to drive through the snowbank.

Good point. I still don't get his actions though. Why try to surrender by putting your hands up and then a couple seconds later go digging in your jacket when you've already got multiple firearms leveled right at you from multiple directions? Did he really think he could get his weapon out and shoot them before they could shoot him?

He wasn't trying to drive through it. He was trying to avoid crashing into the cars blocking the road. It was set up in a terrible spot. In a curve with high snow banks. He was speeding and didn't see them in time. If you watch, you see the FBI agent is thinking the same thing. So he's running away from the cars. He wasn't attempting to run anyone over.
