the officers waited by the pumps in an unmarked black Cadillac Escalade. Once Ayers returned to his car, officers identified themselves and ordered him to open his door, police said. Ayers backed up and sped away while police shot at him twice,

Officers fired upon him for simply running away, because he was in a vehicle with a girl who sold drugs? Being in a vehicle with a felon does not make one a felon, ergo he was not a fleeing felon. Seems like they're over-reaching on allowable use of firearms.

Well, no... read the story. He recklessly endangered officers on foot when he took off in his car.
