I cannot tell the window is closed from that image. I can’t say for certain it is OPEN, but I also cannot say for certain it is closed.
I also think this incident may point to a problem, um, with let’s say “weaker” cops trying to apprehend larger individuals.
In Broward county Florida a few years ago, there was a nice old man who had been a cop for years. His duty was to transport prisoners. He was a kindly fellow, and eventually one of the jailbirds figured out how to take his gun. The officer was killed. In that case, the inmate ended up killing a weaker officer.
In this case (again, IF we can believe the reporting...) then the physically weaker cop shot the subject being addressed.
I also heard they found some angel dust/PCP in the vehicle.
I dunno. I am kind of the opinion that these cases, though rare, receive the LIONS SHARE of media hype and attention.
Meanwhile, in Chicago over the last two years the number of people shot is approaching 6,000:

and the media doesn’t give a damn.

I’d say it’s pretty clear - how could blood run down an open window? You can watch the video for yourself and pause it.

I suspect this is either a case where the female officer overreacted or accidentally put too much pressure on the trigger. You can see that all the officers had their waepons drawn and trained on the guy, maybe a situation like that gets some officer’s adrenalin level higher.
