I read that it's largely due to established precedent that in cases where a police officer shoots a driver, (happens enough for there to be precedent) the burden of proof is to show beyond a reasonable doubt that the killer did not have cause to fear for their life. Proving something to not be the case is very difficult.

Maybe the first shot. The two through the driver's window make it murder.
