The thing to point out is the window in the background, since it's not moving.
You can clearly see where the cop is in the 2nd and third frames right below the window, and you can see the trajectory of the car going well to the right of the window in the last frame while he's shooting.
She was never going to hit him. She intentionally avoided doing so by backing up and turning. Her last moment in life was looking out for the safety of the man that would kill her.
Let's say she was even headed straight for him -- shooting her is still the worst possible option because he's essentially just slamming on the accelerator. There's no world where this can be justified at all.
We've been calling it the unguided missile effect. You shoot someone in a car that isn't in park and you've released a big chunk of metal at yourself and anyone nearby.
Are you talking about the same person? I don't think the shooter is visible in the 2nd frame. The person who tries to open her door is, the shooter had walked around her car.
Sorry - miscounted frames. He shows up in the 3rd frame, but the same thing applies. Look at the window above his head in the 3rd and 4th frames and the trajectory of the car in the 5th.
Just wanted to make sure we're on the same page, there seems to be a lot of confusion around the video and it wasn't even clear to me until I finally found a full unedited version posted.
