How do you know? The video from the front and the audio from the above cell phone video (where the officer groans) both suggests he was hit. I don't think he was hit very forcibly, but he was in front and she was accelerating. If she didn't hit him she grazed him. Obviously, he was not actually injured by the contact, but I don't think there is a very good argument that she didn't make contact with him.
He was standing at the driver's side corner and she turned a hard right. He was standing beside the driver side window when he shot her. If he had.been hit he would have at.least lost his balance and wouldn't have been right there at the window.to shoot. There isn't anything that shows she made contact with him.
 
You can hear her car hitting him on audio on the cell phone video the shooter took. That is the “crunch”. I think crunch significantly oversells the sound. But she did make contact with him.
Can you identify the time in the video where you think you heard a “crunch?” It sounded to me like it was his cell phone getting jostled and/or gunfire.
 
It looks like someone pulling away. That angle does not clearly show him getting clipped. It does show that he wasn't in danger of getting run over.
Nothing is clear in this case. It is a yellow dress/blue dress situation. Trumpers see what they want to see, normies see what they want to see.

That said, the front video convinces me that at least SOME contact was made with the officer, but not anything significant -- as he appears to jump away from the vehicle.
 
At what time and in what video? In the shooter’s phone video the only sound that I hear when she pulls forward is at the same point when he opens fire.
I hear the groan at 38 seconds of the below video. I think @ZenMode is correct that what Trump is referring to as the "crunch" is just the cell phone hitting the ground, as it comes after the groan.

In my view we hear a sound but we cannot be sure what that sound is or means.
 
Whether he got grazed or not he was never in danger of getting run over.

Shooting her in no way made him safer. Isn't that the point?
Yes, that is the point.

He wasn't in danger.

A reasonable officer would have understood that.

Even if he were an unreasonable officer and had fear due to prior PTSD, a reasonable officer would have known firing three shots at point blank range into an oncoming vehicle does not make you safer.
 
I would imagine audio experts are phenomenal these days, and the nature of the sound could be extracted with expertise. Or the absence of a sound.
 
Nothing shows she hit him with her car.


Nothing shows she rammed him. The NY Times video montage does appear to show she made contact with him, but it wasn't significant contact.

I suppose we can have a semantic debate about the word "hit" but her car does come into physical contact with him as she is accelerating (IMO).
