It's not like he had to leave, could have waited till the cop is finished. Moving an inch at the time doesn't help.

This is a hotly contest video, some defending the cop, others the Fcar owner. One thing I do agree on is that this could have been handled differently.
My opinion, regardless if the issuance of the citation was justified, the Fcar owner could have just simply waited it out, taken the ticket, and then contest it in court. However, he escalated the situation and disregarded the cop's commands to stop. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know not to flee the scene when a cop is issuing you a ticket, or disobey a cop's instructions (especially when told several times to stop).
Excessive as the cop may have acted, I think the Fcar owner got what he deserved. He refused to stop the car when ordered to. He refused to get out of the car when the cop instructed him to, and he resisted arrest. He wanted to drive off and avoid the ticket.
In regards to having a foot ran over and not being able to drag someone out, you'd be amazed what adrenaline can do and how the body blocks pain. Since the point of view of the camera isn't where the cop's foot is when it gets run over, who knows if it did or not.
