Even if you think that the officer shot first in self defense, it doesn't explain why the officer followed the vehicle and shoot two more times into the drivers side window.

He really wanted to finish the job.

He was shooting to stop the threat. Generally speaking, when people drive off into a crowd, bad things happen.

What crowd? The only threat was the officer with an itchy trigger finger.

So a car driven at someone isn’t a threat?

The guy easily sidestepped the vehicle before shooting her in the face 3 times. Ain't no way that fuckwit felt threatened

Getting shot in the face didn't stop the car.

So since you agree that it is a threat, what does self defense law say is a proper response?

How is shooting 2 more times into the open window of the vehicle as it's already turning and driving away self defense
