2. Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles.
Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless:
(1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person
with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is
operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical
injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable
means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path
of the vehicle.'
Read that last part until you get it:
'and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist,
which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle.'
