I don't see it quite that way. My understanding of the law, same as Canada, a cop is only allowed to fire to protect their own life or someone else's life. He shot her through the windshield once, and after the threat passed him by, shot her twice more through the side window. Unnecessarily.You're talking about Renee Good, right? If so, then...
Yeah, that's what they were trying to do. She was being detained. In her attempt to flee the officers who were lawfully detaining her, she struck one of them enough to push him back several feet, which is enough of a justification in the moment for him to draw his weapon and shoot her.
They were TRYING to apprehend her. She harmed an agent. They opened fire. She died as a result of her own stupidity.
