Less than one minute. The police weren’t even called there for her, they were in the parking lot for an “unrelated call.” And why was an officer standing in front of her car leaning on the hood holding a gun in her face in the first place? There are so many things wrong with this.

OK, I get that she was driving away and it might have been at an officer hard to get all the views when one's dead. Anyway, 1 He could have easily stepped aside and got the make, model, and tag etc so as to not escalate the situation 2 How the fuck is step 2 shoot to kill. Could've shot the radiator or a tire or you know not fired a gun. This is why shit's so messed up, there's no middle ground you're either complying with them or you're a deadly threat nothing in between. De-Escalation training needs to be mandatory every few months.
