I think the events happened real fast, and it takes time to react. A car moving at 25MPH is actually pretty fast to a standing pedestrian, and when you just don't expect someone to plow through a parade, it will take several seconds to react.
Also, shooting at a moving vehicle when there are TONS of innocent bystanders around is probably not a good idea. Dirty Harry may be able to shoot with pin-point precision with his .500 revolver, but normal people would probably not be able to do much.
That and at the first point of interaction as he was plowing through the barricade a cop did a mag dump at the car and missed. Truly is a shame he didn't goodify the nigger. It would be completely different headlines. At least he tried.
