Again let's look at the Physics, the guy is getting pulled over on the right side of the road, hence his steering wheel has been turned slightly to the right. The officer is on the left hand side of the car at the driver side window. He starts the car and then within TWO SECONDS he shoots him in the head. One cannot turn the steering wheel as far to the left as it can go (this is what would be required for the man to just roll over his toes) while it is sitting still in that short amount of time. Did you see the driver frantically turning the steering wheel left as he was starting the car? No.

I was looking at where the car ended up and the fact that, for whatever reason, the cop, at some point, ended up on the ground.

I agree that he was stopped on the right side of the road, but as you saw, the car ended up down the block, on the left side of the road.

You and I both know that a true accident reconstruction (not some numbnuts with a measuring wheel) would be necessary to determine speed, angle, and force.

I believe that intelligent people can have a reasonable conversation, yet have differing opinions, even on a message board.

Of course, I also believe in Santa Claus, so there's that.

Disagree. Firstly, to presume to know the direction of front wheels is silly. Secondly, I'm skeptical you have ever driven/parked a car if you are really of this position. If you do indeed have a vehicle, experiment with parking next to a curb. If you turn your wheel to the right, without correcting - you're stopped at an angle, pointed (at the degree of your turn) toward the curb. A natural part of pulling over or parking is correcting your wheel direction, such that your vehicle ends parallel to the curb. With this correction, it is not unfeasible for your front wheels to arrive at a slightly left position. This doesn't take into account alignment, tire pressure, or the multitude of other possible variables making your message board physics flawed. But really, let me know how the parking experiment pans out.
