St. Eve, Circuit Judge.
On-duty officer Marco Proano fired sixteen shots at a moving sedan filled with teenagers until the car idled against a light pole. He hit two passengers. The government charged Proano with two counts of willful deprivation of constitutional rights, one for each injured passenger, and a jury convicted on both counts. 18 U.S.C. § 242. Proano appeals, claiming both pretrial and trial errors. We affirm.
I. Background
A. The Shooting
Around 5:00 p.m. on December 22, 2013, two Chicago Police Department (CPD) officers, Ken Flaherty and Jonathan Morlock, stopped a gray Toyota Avalon on Chicago's southside. The Toyota had just sped out of an alley. The driver fled on foot, leaving one passenger in the front seat and four or five (as far as Flaherty could tell) in the backseat. Morlock pursued the driver; Flaherty stayed with the Toyota. Before fleeing, the driver did not, apparently, put the car in park, and it rolled toward Flaherty and his squad car. The Toyota wedged itself between Flaherty's squad car and another car parked on the street.
Jaquon Grant had been in the passenger seat. He too tried to escape as the car rolled forward, but his legs got stuck between Flaherty's squad car and the Toyota. Grant tried to break free, and Flaherty assured him that when backup arrived Flaherty would assist him. Flaherty shouted commands to the other passengers-"stay still," "quit moving"-but they did not obey. One passenger, thirteen-year-old Kevon Brown, attempted to flee, but stopped while hanging out of an open backseat window, with his head above the roof. Flaherty dispatched for backup.
Moments later, Proano and his partner, Guy Habiak, arrived in their squad car. Proano exited the car, with his weapon in one hand, cocked, and aimed at the Toyota. Seconds later, Delquantis Bates, who had been in the back seat of the Toyota, reached over the center console and pressed his hand on the gas pedal. The car, still wedged, revved but did not move. Bates then put the car in reverse and pressed the pedal again. The Toyota jolted free and began to reverse. No one was in its path.
*435As the car retreated, three things happened: a metal BB gun fell to the ground from the Toyota, Grant freed himself, and Proano began shooting at the Toyota. Flaherty quickly apprehended Grant. Habiak picked up the gun and handed it to Flaherty, saying "Gun. Here's the gun. Here's the gun." And Proano continued to shoot at the Toyota as it stopped, pivoted, and rolled forward into a light pole. Ten of Proano's sixteen bullets entered the Toyota. One bullet hit Bates's shoulder, while others grazed his face. Two bullets hit another passenger, David Hemmans, in his leg and foot. No other officer fired his weapon.
After the shooting, Proano completed two Tactical Response Reports, forms upon which the CPD relies to document use-of-force incidents. On both forms, Proano admitted to firing his weapon sixteen times. He indicated that he did so because an "assailant" presented an "imminent threat of battery" and so he "use[d] force likely to cause death or great bodily harm." The assailant's weapon, according to Proano's reports, was an "automobile." Proano did not identify the BB gun as a contributing factor in his decision to shoot in the reports. Still on the scene, however, Proano informed CPD detective Stanley Kalicki that he heard one of the other on-site officers identify a gun. Proano also told Kalicki that he fired his weapon because he feared for Brown, who, according to Proano, "was being dragged" by the Toyota.
Months later, Proano discussed the shooting with the Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA)-a now-defunct body, which at the time investigated allegations of police misconduct.1 In March 2015, IPRA Investigator Dennis Prieto met with FBI agents to discuss the shooting. No one involved in that meeting believed that they discussed Proano's statements to IPRA. The FBI agents received material from Prieto, including documents reflecting Proano's statements to IPRA investigators. The FBI agents then passed those documents to the government's "filter team" for review.
B. The Prosecution
On September 15, 2016, a grand jury returned a two-count indictment against Proano for willfully depriving Bates and Hemmans of their constitutional rights-namely, their Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable force-in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 242.
Proano filed a motion to dismiss the indictment. He argued that the FBI agents' meeting with Investigator Prieto led to the disclosure of statements protected by Garrity v. New Jersey , 385 U.S. 493, 87 S.Ct. 616, 17 L.Ed.2d 562 (1967) (a decision we explain below), and that the disclosure tainted the prosecution against him. The district court held a hearing, in which Prieto and the FBI agents, Larissa Camacho and Eugene Jackson, testified. The district court then denied Proano's motion on two independent grounds. First, it found no evidence of "seepage or taint" of Proano's Garrity -protected statements in the prosecution. Second, the district court found "legitimate independent sources" for any information the government could have gleaned from Proano's Garrity -protected statements, assuming the government had seen them. The case proceeded to trial.
*436Before trial, Proano moved in limine to exclude evidence relating to his training on CPD policies and procedures. He submitted that such evidence was irrelevant and that the government's witnesses-Sergeant Larry Snelling and officer Vincent Jamison, neither of whom recalled training Proano-lacked sufficient personal knowledge to testify regarding the training Proano received. The government filed a reciprocal motion in limine, asking the court to exclude evidence of Proano's training on when use of force was appropriate under state law. The district court resolved the relevance of both pieces of evidence with the same stroke-both parties could use their respective training-related evidence either to help prove or disprove that Proano acted willfully. Proano, specifically, could argue that his actions comported with his state-law training, and so he thought them reasonable; the government, meanwhile, could argue that Proano's actions violated his CPD training, which could be relevant to his state of mind. The district court reserved ruling on the foundational question. It also deferred on resolving questions about the relevance of certain training-related evidence, such as whether Proano was trained not to fire into a crowd or buildings.
Trial began on August 21, 2017, and lasted six days. Among other government witnesses, Flaherty, Bates, and Brown described what occurred the night of the shooting; Kalicki explained Proano's statements after the shooting; and CPD Sergeant Timothy Moore detailed Proano's post-shooting reports. Snelling and Jamison also testified.
Snelling described the CPD's use-of-force policies, which he taught at the academy. He could not testify with certainty that he taught Proano. He was, however, familiar with the training that recruits received when Proano was a recruit at the academy, because trainers used a "common curriculum" and often sat in on each other's classes to ensure consistent messaging. Regarding the CPD's training, Snelling testified that use of deadly force is appropriate only when an assailant is likely to cause death or serious physical injury. Snelling testified that recruits learn not to shoot into buildings, windows, or openings without clear visibility, and they learn not to shoot into crowds. Snelling also testified that recruits learn not to fire at a moving vehicle unless doing so is necessary to protect the life of another.
Jamison testified about firearms training, which he oversaw at the academy. He too could not recall whether he personally trained Proano, but Jamison stated that every firearms instructor at the academy works from the same preapproved lesson plans. Jamison testified that recruits learn to hold a weapon with two hands absent necessary circumstances, and they learn never to point a gun merely as a show of force. CPD firearms instructors also taught recruits to stop and "assess" whether a threat is ongoing after firing a few shots, though he also testified that recruits learn to shoot "to eliminate the threat."
In addition to this testimony, the government introduced video footage of the shooting. The footage, taken from Proano's dashcam, showed the shooting unobstructed and in its entirety. The jury saw real-time and slow-motion versions of the footage.
At the close of evidence, the parties discussed and debated jury instructions. Only one instruction-related debate is relevant here: Proano proposed a (lengthy) instruction on "willfulness," the necessary mens rea for § 242, but the district court rejected it as redundant and confusing. The district court, instead, instructed the jury on willfulness using an instruction it crafted with the parties' input.
*437After closing arguments and deliberation, the jury convicted Proano on both counts. The district court later denied Proano's posttrial motion, ruling in part that the court had properly admitted Snelling's and Jamison's testimony and that the government had laid an adequate foundation for their respective testimony. The district court then sentenced Proano to sixty months in prison. This appeal followed.
II. Discussion
Proano challenges four issues on appeal: (1) the denial of his Garrity motion; (2) the admission of training and policy evidence; (3) the accuracy of the jury instruction on willfulness; and (4) the sufficiency of the evidence. We take each challenge in turn.
A. The Garrity Motion
Proano first claims that the government violated his rights under Garrity . The Fifth Amendment assures defendants that they will not be compelled to testify against themselves. Garrity expounded upon that general right in a particular context, that of public-official investigations. Garrity held that when a public official must choose between cooperating in an internal investigation or losing his job, the statements he makes during the investigation are compelled, and, as such, they cannot later be used against the official in a criminal trial. 385 U.S. at 500, 87 S.Ct. 616. In deciding whether the government violated Proano's rights under Garrity , we review the district court's legal conclusions de novo and its factual findings for clear error. United States v. Cozzi , 613 F.3d 725, 728 (7th Cir. 2010).
Proano's Garrity challenge does not get far. He spoke to IPRA under the threat of job loss, and his statements were thus compelled and Garrity -protected. But after that his challenge fails, in three different ways.
First, federal investigators and prosecutors cannot misuse Garrity -protected statements if they are never exposed to the statements. See id. at 732. The government, in this case, set up a filter team to receive and review IPRA's materials. The filter team then redacted any protected statements before handing the materials over to the prosecution team. No evidence suggests that this process was flawed or that Garrity -protected statements slipped through. The district court also found that, despite some ambiguous evidence, the FBI agents and the IPRA investigator did not discuss Proano's statements during the March 2015 meeting. As a result, the district court found that there was no "seepage or taint" of Proano's Garrity -protected statements to the FBI agents or the prosecution team. Proano's only challenge to this conclusion of fact is to rehash evidence thoroughly considered and weighed by the district court. That is not clear error.
Second, even if the prosecution could have accessed Proano's protected statements, there is no constitutional violation if the government can establish "a legitimate source wholly independent of the compelled testimony" for the evidence. Kastigar v. United States , 406 U.S. 441, 460, 92 S.Ct. 1653, 32 L.Ed.2d 212 (1972) ; see also United States v. Velasco , 953 F.2d 1467, 1474 (7th Cir. 1992). Here, the district court specifically found that the dashcam video, other witness accounts, and police reports all provided independent bases from which the prosecution could have learned of the facts Proano described in his Garrity -protected statements. Proano makes no attempt to demonstrate that these findings were clearly erroneous.
Third, Proano misunderstands Garrity 's protections. He argues a syllogism: Investigator Prieto knew of the Garrity -protected *438statements, and Prieto's meeting with the FBI agents prompted the federal investigation; thus, the investigation made derivative use of the Garrity -protected statements. This reasoning is interrupted by the district court's findings that Prieto did not disclose Garrity -protected statements and that, even if he did, there were independent sources for the information. What survives of Proano's argument is only the theory that Prieto tainted the prosecution with Garrity -protected statements simply by knowing of the statements and meeting with FBI agents. That does not follow, as a matter of logic or law. As we said in Cozzi , we "are not concerned with how" an investigator who knows of Garrity -protected statements "may have influenced the federal investigation, but rather how [the defendant's] statements influenced the investigation." Cozzi , 613 F.3d at 731 (emphasis in original). The district court did not clearly err in concluding that Proano's statements did not reach the investigators and prosecutors.
B. Admissibility of the Training and Policy Evidence
Proano next claims that the district court made three errors in admitting evidence of his training and the CPD's policies. He argues: (1) the evidence was irrelevant; (2) it was unfairly prejudicial and confusing; and (3) Snelling and Jamison did not establish an adequate foundation to testify to the evidence. We review evidentiary rulings for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Parkhurst , 865 F.3d 509, 513 (7th Cir. 2017). We will reverse a ruling only if no reasonable person would agree with the district court's view. United States v. Ajayi , 808 F.3d 1113, 1121 (7th Cir. 2015).2
1. Relevance Under Rule 401
Proano's position on the relevance of the training and policy evidence has evolved during this appeal. In his papers, he thought such evidence irrelevant to show intent as a matter of law. At oral argument, he submitted that the specific evidence used at trial was inadmissible. Both positions are mistaken.
To be admissible, evidence must be relevant. Fed. R. Evid. 402. To be relevant, evidence must tend to make a fact of consequence at trial more or less probable. Fed. R. Evid. 401. This is a "low threshold." Tennard v. Dretke , 542 U.S. 274, 285, 124 S.Ct. 2562, 159 L.Ed.2d 384 (2004) ; see also United States v. Boros , 668 F.3d 901, 907 (7th Cir. 2012). The Federal Rules of Evidence do not permit only decisive, controlling, or the "most" probative evidence. United States v. McKibbins , 656 F.3d 707, 711 (7th Cir. 2011). If evidence can help jurors answer the questions they must ask, the Rules permit its admissibility in the absence of a rule or law to the contrary. Fed. R. Evid. 402 ; United States v. Causey , 748 F.3d 310, 316 (7th Cir. 2014).
The government charged Proano with violating 18 U.S.C. § 242. Section 242 prohibits the willful deprivation of rights under color of law, and individuals (Bates and Hemmans included) have the Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable uses of deadly force. Tennessee v. Garner , 471 U.S. 1, 10-11, 105 S.Ct. 1694, 85 L.Ed.2d 1 (1985). The two most pressing questions for the jury, then, were whether Proano used deadly force unreasonably and, if so, whether he did so willfully. The district court ruled that Proano's intent-willful or not-was the fact that *439could be made more or less probable by evidence of Proano's training. That decision was not an abuse of discretion.
We have before recognized that evidence of departmental policies can be relevant to show intent in § 242 cases. United States v. Aldo Brown , 871 F.3d 532, 538 (7th Cir. 2017) ; United States v. David Brown , 250 F.3d 580, 586 (7th Cir. 2001). Other circuit courts have as well. United States v. Christopher A. Brown , 654 F. App'x 896, 910 (10th Cir. 2016) ; United States v. Rodella , 804 F.3d 1317, 1338 (10th Cir. 2015) ; United States v. Dise , 763 F.2d 586, 588 (3d Cir. 1985). Those decisions, expressly or impliedly, acknowledge that an officer's training can help inform his state of mind in certain circumstances. If, for example, an officer has been trained that officers should do certain things when confronted with tense situations, and he does those things, the fact that he acted in accordance with his training could make it less likely that he acted willfully. See Aldo Brown , 871 F.3d at 538. And vice versa: If, as here, an officer has been trained that officers should not do several things when confronted with tense situations, yet he does those things anyway, the fact that he broke from his training could make it more likely that he acted willfully. The district court correctly accounted for both sides of the coin, admitting both Proano's and the government's proposed training-related evidence.
Proano nevertheless argues that the government's evidence of his training was inadmissible, relying mostly on Thompson v. City of Chicago , 472 F.3d 444 (7th Cir. 2006). Thompson concerned 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and it held that the CPD's General Orders (essentially, formal policy statements) were not relevant to proving whether force was constitutional. Thompson , 472 F.3d at 454. This is because the Fourth Amendment, not departmental policy, sets the constitutional floor. Id. at 454 ; see also Whren v. United States , 517 U.S. 806, 815-16, 116 S.Ct. 1769, 135 L.Ed.2d 89 (1996) ; Scott v. Edinburg , 346 F.3d 752, 760-61 (7th Cir. 2003). Since Thompson , however, we have clarified that there is no per se rule against the admission of police policies or training. Aldo Brown , 871 F.3d at 537-38 ; see also Florek v. Village of Mundelein , 649 F.3d 594, 602-03 (7th Cir. 2011) (regarding expert testimony). We explained in Aldo Brown that such a rule would be especially excessive in the § 242 context, where an officer's intent is at issue and the defendant has a constitutional right to present a defense. 871 F.3d at 538. Thompson did not address whether evidence of police policy or training can be relevant to intent; § 1983, unlike § 242, is a civil statute that lacks a specific-intent requirement. See Kingsley v. Hendrickson , --- U.S. ----, 135 S.Ct. 2466, 2472, 192 L.Ed.2d 416 (2015). Thompson therefore offers no guide here.
Still, Proano presses, even if some evidence of training may be relevant, the government's evidence in this case was not because it concerned CPD-specific training. Proano seizes on language from Aldo Brown , which said that evidence of "widely used standardized training or practice[s]" could be relevant to show an officer's intent in § 242 cases. 871 F.3d at 538. Proano characterizes the CPD's training as "localized" and not "widely used," and therefore not relevant. That characterization is suspect; the CPD is the second-largest police force in the country. David B. Goode, Law Enforcement Policies and the Reasonable Use of Force , 54 WILLAMETTE L. REV. 371, 372 (2018). Regardless, neither Aldo Brown nor common sense limits the pool of admissible training-related evidence of intent to national, model, or interdepartmental standards.
*440Assuming those standards exist,3 only evidence of training that the officer actually received can be relevant to his state of mind. Accord United States v. Trudeau , 812 F.3d 578, 591-92 (7th Cir. 2016), cert. denied , --- U.S. ----, 137 S.Ct. 566, 196 L.Ed.2d 444 (2016) ; United States v. Kokenis , 662 F.3d 919, 930 (7th Cir. 2011).
Proano's remaining arguments go to the weight of the evidence, not its relevance. He asserts that the prohibition on shooting into windows and crowds was not relevant because that training did not concern cars. But as the district court reasonably concluded, four or five people in the back of a car could constitute a crowd. Proano also asserts that his firearms training was not relevant because that training occurred in a controlled environment. Yet Jamison testified that the firearms training was not training for training's sake, but rather it was intended to have real-word application. Proano's arguments were ones for the jury, not us. See United States v. Firishchak , 468 F.3d 1015, 1021 (7th Cir. 2006) ; Williams v. Jader Fuel Co. , 944 F.2d 1388, 1403 (7th Cir. 1991).
The probative value of an officer's training, like most any evidence, depends on case-specific factors. Those factors are too many to list, but no doubt included are the training's recency and nature, representativeness of reasonable practices, standardization, and applicability to the circumstances the officer faced. Whatever its ultimate strength, evidence of an officer's training can be relevant in assessing his state of mind. The district court carefully assessed the evidence and the state-of-mind inquiry in this case, and it did not abuse its discretion in admitting the evidence of Proano's training.
2. Prejudice and Confusion Under Rule 403
A court may exclude relevant evidence if its probative value is substantially outweighed by risks of unfair prejudice or confusion. Fed. R. Evid. 403. Proano argues the evidence of his training presented those risks, and that the district court abused its discretion in not recognizing as much. Rule 403 speaks of what a district court "may" do, so we review a Rule 403 decision for abuse of discretion. More than that, a Rule 403 decision "is entitled to special deference" because only "in an extreme case are appellate judges competent to second-guess the judgment of the person on the spot, the trial judge." United States v. Jackson , 898 F.3d 760, 764 (7th Cir. 2018).
No risk of unfair prejudice or confusion substantially outweighed the probative value of Proano's training. Proano contends that the jury could have thought the training evidence mattered to whether his use of force was objectively reasonable, a question for which it is generally inadmissible. See Aldo Brown , 871 F.3d at 536-37 ; Thompson , 472 F.3d at 454. But that risk was minimal. At the close of evidence, the district court instructed the jury:
You have heard evidence about training the defendant received relating to the use of deadly force. You should not consider this training when you decide whether the defendant's use of force was reasonable or unreasonable. But you may consider the training when you decide what the defendant intended at the time he acted.4
*441See Rodella , 804 F.3d at 1338 (approving a similar instruction); see also United States v. Schmitt , 770 F.3d 524, 535 (7th Cir. 2014) (proper jury instructions can cure potential prejudice); United States v. Albiola , 624 F.3d 431, 440 (7th Cir. 2010) (same); Fed. R. Evid. 403 advisory committee's notes (1972) (explaining that limiting instructions are a factor in weighing the danger of unfair prejudice).
Proano also contends that the training evidence was unfairly prejudicial because it invited the jury to convict for Proano's failure to follow protocol. Proano was free to, and did, argue to the jury that his training had little applicability to the situation he faced, and the jury received the appropriate instructions about what was required to convict and how to use the evidence of his training. Proano identifies no grounds to assume the jury believed that violating CPD policy amounted to violating § 242.
3. Foundation Under Rule 602
Proano alternatively contends that, even if the training evidence was admissible, it was not admissible through Snelling and Jamison because their testimony lacked the proper foundation. Specifically, Proano argues, they both lacked "personal knowledge of the training Proano received in 2006," when he was in the academy. Rule 602 allows a witness to testify "to a matter only if ... the witness has personal knowledge of the matter." Fed. R. Evid. 602. "Evidence to prove personal knowledge may consist of the witness's own testimony." Id.
Snelling and Jamison could not recall whether they instructed Proano at the academy, but that did not make their testimony inadmissible under Rule 602. Snelling taught use-of-force procedures in (and before) 2006. By virtue of that position, Snelling was aware of the use-of-force training that recruits generally received while Proano was enrolled. He testified that he was aware of what his colleagues taught at the time and the academy's common curriculum because of his "cross-training," a practice that ensures consistency among instructors. Jamison, too, taught while Proano attended the academy. He testified about the academy's weapons training based on his familiarity with the academy's preapproved lesson plans and syllabi, from which all firearms instructors teach. Jamison further described the firearms principles to which he testified as "basic," "typical," and "standard" at the academy.
Snelling and Jamison thus had personal knowledge of the matters to which they testified, regarding the academy's stock training in 2006. It was for the jury to determine whether Proano in fact received that training. Even if it were otherwise and, as Proano submits, Snelling and Jamison purported to testify regarding the training Proano actually received, the testimony was still admissible. Personal knowledge can include reasonable inferences drawn from a witness's observations and firsthand experiences. Widmar v. Sun Chem. Corp. , 772 F.3d 457, 460 (7th Cir. 2014) ; see also Visser v. Packer Eng'g Assocs., Inc. , 924 F.2d 655, 659 (7th Cir. 1991) ; United States v. Giovannetti , 919 F.2d 1223, 1226 (7th Cir. 1990). Snelling and Jamison each offered enough evidence of the homogeneity in the academy's teachings (facts with which they had firsthand experience) to establish their respective personal knowledge of what Proano learned there (a reasonable inference). In either event, the district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting Snelling's and Jamison's testimony.
C. Willfulness Instruction
Proano's next challenge is to the district court's jury instruction on willfulness, *442the mens rea requirement of § 242. We review de novo whether an instruction fairly states the law, and we review the decision to give a particular instruction for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Maldonado , 893 F.3d 480, 486 (7th Cir. 2018).5
Section 242 is a specific-intent crime. Aldo Brown , 871 F.3d at 538 ; David Brown, 250 F.3d at 584-85. It prohibits the willful deprivation of constitutional rights. United States v. Lanier , 520 U.S. 259, 264, 117 S.Ct. 1219, 137 L.Ed.2d 432 (1997). The Supreme Court first addressed this crime (though at a time when it sat in a different part of the U.S. Code) in Screws v. United States , 325 U.S. 91, 65 S.Ct. 1031, 89 L.Ed. 1495 (1945) (plurality). Screws explained that a defendant need not "have been thinking in constitutional terms" to have willfully deprived another of a constitutional right. Screws , 325 U.S. at 106, 65 S.Ct. 1031. An officer does, though, have the requisite intent under § 242 when he "is aware that what he does is precisely that which the statute forbids." Id. at 104, 65 S.Ct. 1031 ; see also id. at 103-105, 65 S.Ct. 1031 (an officer violates § 242 when he acts with "a specific intent to deprive a person" of constitutional rights or with "open defiance or in reckless disregard of a constitutional requirement"); see also Aldo Brown , 871 F.3d at 538. In United States v. Bradley , 196 F.3d 762, 770 (7th Cir. 1999), we added that "to act 'willfully' in the § 242 sense, the defendant must intend to commit an act that results" in a constitutional deprivation.
The district court in this case instructed the jury that Proano acted willfully if he "intended to deprive" Bates or Hemmans of their right to be free from unreasonable force. It explained further:
The defendant acted intentionally if he used force knowing that the force he used was more than what a reasonable officer would have used under the circumstances. The defendant did not act intentionally if he did not know that the force he used was more than what a reasonable officer would have used under the circumstances.
Proano argues that these instructions reduced the needed mens rea and transformed § 242 into a general-intent crime. We disagree.
The district court's instruction was consistent with Bradley . The court instructed the jury that it could convict only if Proano acted intending to violate constitutional rights. See Bradley , 196 F.3d at 769 (approving § 242 instruction that required a finding of an act "with the intent" to deprive constitutional rights). The instruction then went a step beyond Bradley by defining what intent meant under § 242. It explained that Proano had the requisite intent if and only if Proano knew his force was not reasonable and used it anyway.
There is no one definition of willfulness. Ratzlaf v. United States , 510 U.S. 135, 141, 114 S.Ct. 655, 126 L.Ed.2d 615 (1994) ; see also United States v. Pulungan , 569 F.3d 326, 329 (7th Cir. 2009) (" 'Willfully' is a notoriously plastic word."); Pattern Criminal Jury Instructions of the Seventh Circuit 4.11 (2012 ed.) (willfulness is a statute-specific term). Yet the district court's definition tracked how most authorities understand the term. See, e.g. , United States v. Dobek , 789 F.3d 698, 700 (7th Cir. 2015)
*443(willfulness in criminal law often requires knowledge that one is violating the law) (citations omitted). The Model Penal Code, as a prime example, states that willfulness is met "if a person acts knowingly with respect to the material elements of the offense." Model Penal Code § 2.02(8) ; see also United States v. Ladish Malting Co. , 135 F.3d 484, 487 (7th Cir. 1998). More important than the general understanding of willfulness, though, the instruction-requiring a finding that Proano acted "knowing" his actions were an unreasonable use of force-is consistent with Screws , which required that a defendant be "aware" he is doing what the statute forbids in the § 242 context. Screws , 325 U.S. at 104, 65 S.Ct. 1031 ; see also Aldo Brown , 871 F.3d at 538.6 The instruction thus did not, as Proano insists, permit a conviction based only on the unreasonable use of force. Proano's contrary reading takes "knowing" out of the instruction.
Proano also insists that the willfulness instruction is misleading when "juxtaposed" with the instruction on how the jury could use Proano's training-related evidence (i.e., for intent but not objective-reasonableness purposes). These instructions, he claims, "blur the distinct" objective and subjective parts of § 242 and are at odds with one another. We again fail to see how. Both instructions were clear, concise, and guided the jury in determining Proano's subjective intent in shooting at the Toyota. To that end, the instructions were complementary: one defined intent; the other told the jury what evidence it could use in assessing intent. The district court's instructions provide no grounds to reverse.
D. Sufficiency of the Evidence
Proano's final contention is that trial failed to produce sufficient evidence to convict him. We can overturn the jury's verdict only if in viewing the record in the government's favor it is "devoid of evidence from which a reasonable jury could find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt." United States v. Wrobel , 841 F.3d 450, 454 (7th Cir. 2016). A defendant bears the burden of convincing the court that "no rational trier of fact could have found him guilty." United States v. Warren , 593 F.3d 540, 546 (7th Cir. 2010). We have often said that this is a heavy burden-indeed a "nearly insurmountable" one. E.g. , Maldonado , 893 F.3d at 484.
Proano has not met that burden. He first asserts that there was insufficient evidence to prove that his actions were not objectively reasonable. Reasonableness depends on the totality of the circumstances. Plumhoff v. Rickard , 572 U.S. 765, 134 S.Ct. 2012, 2020, 188 L.Ed.2d 1056 (2014). This calls for a balanced inquiry into "the nature and quality of the intrusion on the individual's Fourth Amendment interests against the countervailing government interests at stake." Graham v. Connor , 490 U.S. 386, 396, 109 S.Ct. 1865, 104 L.Ed.2d 443 (1989). We *444must view the events through the lens of the officer in the moment, not with 20/20 hindsight. Flournoy v. City of Chicago , 829 F.3d 869, 874 (7th Cir. 2016) (citing Graham , 490 U.S. at 396, 109 S.Ct. 1865 ). The law, of course, allows for "the fact that police officers are often forced to make split-second judgments." Graham , 490 U.S. at 397, 109 S.Ct. 1865. Deadly force is generally reasonable when a reasonable officer in the same circumstances would believe that the assailant's conduct put someone in the "immediate vicinity in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury." Horton v. Pobjecky , 883 F.3d 941, 949 (7th Cir. 2018) (citation omitted).
Based on the totality of the circumstances, Proano argues, it was reasonable for him to believe that Brown and the other passengers were in mortal danger and to act accordingly. He emphasizes the chaos of the scene: Brown hanging out of the Toyota, Grant stuck between Flaherty's squad car and the Toyota, the occupants' refusal to show their hands, and the car reversing. The dashcam video, however, provided ample grounds for the jury to conclude that there was no danger posed to anyone and, thus, no need for lethal force. The video showed Brown sitting up out of a window, not being dragged. The car reversed at a mild pace, and quickly slowed, redirected, and butted against a light pole. No bystander was near it. Yet Proano shot and continued to shoot even after the Toyota stopped its retreat.
Nor does the BB gun's presence at the scene show that the jury erred in its conclusions. The officers' first awareness of the gun was when it fell to the ground, and there was no evidence that any passenger threatened an officer with a weapon. Cf. Garner , 471 U.S. at 11, 105 S.Ct. 1694 (if a suspect threatens an officer with a weapon, deadly force may be reasonable). Kalicki's testimony, moreover, suggested that the BB gun fell out at the same time the shooting started. That fact, combined with Proano's immediate show of force and Proano's post-shooting reports, which did not identify the BB gun, could have reasonably led the jury to reject the idea that Proano fired in reaction to the weapon.
Proano relatedly posits that the government's reliance on the dashcam video, particularly its slow-motion version, is (1) inconsistent with the totality analysis required under the Fourth Amendment and (2) distorts the in-the-moment experience Proano felt. The jury heard, and clearly rejected, these arguments. The jury saw at trial and had in deliberations the real-time dashcam video. It may well have reviewed that video and found that no interpretation of the circumstances supported the notion that someone was in danger.
Even if circumstances were sufficient to give rise to a lethal threat reasonably requiring deadly force, a jury still could have decided that Proano's reaction was unreasonable. Proano argues that the number of rounds he fired-sixteen-is irrelevant, because officers reasonably shoot until the threat is eliminated. That is correct in principle, see Plumhoff , 134 S.Ct. at 2022, but wrong in application. The jury could have concluded (easily) that Proano continued to apply lethal force even after the threat subsided. After the vehicle stopped reversing and began inching toward the light pole, Proano continued to fire several more shots into its side. See, e.g. , Becker v. Elfreich , 821 F.3d 920, 928 (7th Cir. 2016) (it is "well-established that police officers cannot continue to use force once a suspect is subdued").
Proano next asserts that there was insufficient evidence to prove that he willfully used unreasonable force. Again, however, the dashcam video provided grounds for the jury to conclude otherwise. The brazenness of Proano's actions alone could *445have supported the jury's conclusion: despite the car not threatening anyone's safety, Proano fired sixteen shots at it, including several after the car began idling. See Bradley , 196 F.3d at 769 (sufficient evidence of willfulness when an officer fired at a car "to stop ... [its] flight" which, in the circumstances, was "clearly unreasonable and excessive"). Add to that how Proano, viewing the record in the government's favor, disregarded training by: using his gun, cocked, as an immediate show of force; discharging it into a group of people; shooting at something into which he did not have visibility; and never reassessing the situation until his magazine was empty. The jury also could have disregarded Proano's justifications as inconsistent with the video evidence. Specifically, although Proano reported concern for Brown, who he said was being "dragged" by the Toyota, the jury could have concluded that assertion was flatly not believable in light of the video, which showed Brown propped up out of the window (and thus not "dragged"). In all, there was sufficient evidence to convict Proano on both counts.
III. Conclusion
For these reasons, we AFFIRM the district court's judgment.
