Not allowed to shoot someone fleeing if they are only wanted for fleeing or a minor offense. Settled law.
If she was driving at the officer or pulled a gun, that is one thing and would be suicide by cop. This was a poor decision on the officers part that should result in consequences the same as us little people would receive.

See post 8. All 50 states have similar laws that allow and permit cops to use deadly force if a suspect attempts to flee.
And courts have allowed such laws.
Not all LEO agencies adhere to these laws. And you may not like or agree with them.
But they save lives. The officers on the street. And untold thousands who know better than to try and flee.
