This is speculation of course, but if that officer ruptured his achilles tendon, he would have been nearly helpless to get himself out of the way of the vehicle or otherwise protect himself. Down on the ground in front of a fleeing vehicle is certainly a life or death situation.
I ruptured my achilles 5 years ago, and it was not pleasant. Feels like someone hit the back of your foot with a baseball bat. It requires surgical repair and 6 mos to a year before you're back at full strength. Hope the officer has a speedy recovery."No one can make you feel like a turd without your permission." - Eleanor Roosevelt.

The officer struck by the car is being treated for a ruptured achilles tendon.
"Why shoot?" Carter, Sr. said. "Did he have a weapon or did he point a weapon? It’s too much. The police are doing too much right now. First thing they see somebody and you want to pull a gun and start shooting somebody. That’s not right."
This was not Byron Carter Junior's first run-in with the law.
Austin police arrested him on July 10, 2010 for evading arrest. Officers say Carter sold crack cocaine to undercover officers and when they tried to arrest him, they say he ran. Officers eventually caught him and took him to jail.Austin Texas Police Department (APD)

It's interesting that the family talks about him "running with the wrong crowd" as if this was something he was pressured into doing. The driver was 16 years old and the passenger was a grown man who made the decision to get into the car with the 16 year old.Last edited by adeutch; 06-01-2011, 11:15 AM."No one can make you feel like a turd without your permission." - Eleanor Roosevelt.
