Ossi - I see it at the local indoor kart track all the time, most people have no idea how much force is involved in a moving vehicle. I do not think your scenario likely.

Rather, one of two things:

Ranger/Seal team members would prefer to be shot from friendly fire rather than fall into enemy hands in the Vietnam war. A lot of them had a pact - we won't be captured alive. If there was no way to rescue a member, he'd asked ahead of time in that situation to be shot at. So this is scenario 1, guy jumps out to try to stop cops, cops get him, "they" don't want prisoners taken, so he drives over his brother. This also gives him an opportunity to still get away as the police will not just leave the body.

Other scenario, like I said, most people have no clue how much force and inertia vehicles have because they only drive them in gentle arcs relative to velocity. Trying to get the cops away from his brother was likely, but he may not of meant to run him over, just the inertia of the vehicle carried him over once he started to try to change course when the cops moved out of the way.

I'm not sure we can really know, but just throwing out two more likely scenarios. It may be a mix of the above, or it may be what you suggested.
