In Good, the fellow was partially in front of the car (a dangerous weapon) when she started moving forward, so he's going to claim self defense. Were his actions reasonably within his duties until he shot her? Yes. But I'd argue standing in front of a car wasn't prudent or part of protocol. Trump halted the prosecutor starting the investigation - so it looks like there won't be any charges or case unless the state starts one. Is self-defense allowable? Yes.

If that was self defense then I suppose anyone standing on a road as a car drives by may shoot the driver and claim self defense. They can claim all they want, I suppose, but the claim would be ludicrous.
