When it comes to matters of life and death - you never speculate on the aggressor's intent. This is an unreasonable ask of an LEO to figure out in a split second given the suspect is doing something very dangerous.

2. Except where otherwise required by inspections or other operations, Authorized Officers/Agents should avoid standing directly in front of or behind a subject vehicle. Officers/agents should not place themselves in the path of a moving
vehicle or use their body to block a vehicle’s path.
