It’s the final takedown - reply to 26327249 quit the mind reading bullcrap
that's when the criminal suspect elected to run directly at them from a great distance and attack them forcing them to defend themselves
Could you please stick with verifiable facts and drop the mind reading which is not permissible in court.
Are you referring to this frame as your starting point?

Here’s the facts:
There are three men accused of false imprisonment, interfering with AA’s liberty and path of travel prior to this moment in time.
Where are they?
One is in pursuit as he is recording the evidence that has been made public. That suspected felon#3 is not being attacked and forced to defend himself. Felon#3’s position establishes a perfectly sound reason that explains why AA is running in the direction as seen in the aforementioned frame.
At this moment, the armed, suspected felon#2 is standing in the bed of the truck watching AA as he flees on a public road from felon #2. His wide open stance combined with the facts learned that he was holding a cell phone instead of his .357 Magnum at the time is not indicative that suspected felon#2 is in fear of being attacked as AA eventually runs right past him.

When you say AA “elected” to attack., suspected felon#1 can be seen shouldering his shotgun and aiming it at AA’s feet while ordering him to get on the ground. I’m not sure but I believe the charge of aggravated assault is added to felon#1’s growing list of crimes right there. So it’s no matter to the court as to what AA does beyond this point with respect to how he continues to engage his three attackers. AA is the only man being attacked on a public road at this point, and up to the first shot being fired.
The video evidence does not specifically show TM’s movements after AA decided to swerve from TM and evade him on the passenger side:

That is not a counter attack by the victim at this point. It is another attempt at a means of escape.
Upon seeing the swerve, suspected felon#1 repositions himself in an aggressive route to counter the swerve in by running to the front of the truck:

When AA came around the front of the truck it is quite possible that he was surprised to see suspected felon#1 repositioned in his way - and less than half a second later he was shot at close range and wounded in the chest.
Only From that point on can AA’s final actions be construed as an attack, But he has been shot - we know that based on the video. That makes his attempt to grab the gun and subdue one of his three attackers the only attempt of self defense that occurred that afternoon on the public street.
