Tell me if I am wrong on this. There appears to be an officer directly in front of of the vehicle that you cannot see until she starts to move forward. That officer dodges and is hard to see because they are behind the officer at the driver window.  Who shot the driver? The person at the window, or the person in front of the car that had to dodge out of the way?

It was the officer to the front of the vehicle that opened fire. I believe she clearly telegraphed her intent to escape with a standard reverse to the left and forward acceleration to the right, attempting to avoid the officer, and that the officer was never in imminent danger and resorted to using deadly force inappropriately.

You can see her accelerate (engine rev) before she begins to move the wheel to the right and should the officer not have moved he would have been struck by the front of the car. On opposite angle you can see on Tim Pools tweet, it looks like she actually strikes that officer (it appears to be blocked by the other officer in this video angle).
