The heroin addict who cops say dragged a Bronx police officer with his car, forcing the lawman’s partner to shoot him, was more credible than officers were to the jury that awarded him $11 million, his lawyer claims.

Raoul Lopez, 40, won over the Bronx Supreme Court panel despite a rap sheet that included 19 arrests, and the testimony of two cops that the Feb. 2006 run-in was a matter of life-or-death, attorney Brett Klein told The Post.

Lopez had admittedly just scored two $10 glassines of heroin — branded “Game Over” — when Sgt. Philippe Blanchard and Officer Zinos Konstantinides pulled him over for blowing a stop sign, court papers state.

The cops testified that Lopez refused to get out of the car and hit the gas when Konstantinides tried to grab the keys, dragging the officer and forcing Blanchard to shoot Lopez in the neck for fear of his partner’s life.

But Lopez — partially paralyzed by the slug — insisted that he only tried to flee after Blanchard shot him without provocation as he fumbled the envelopes of heroin, court papers show.

Lopez was acquitted in a criminal trial, and on Tuesday was awarded $11 million by a jury in his civil suit.

The city’s Law Department has stood by the cops’ version and vowed to weigh its options for recourse.

At an unrelated briefing, Mayor Bill de Blasio Thursday said he was unfamiliar with the case, but said the department’s statement “speaks for itself.”
