He walked towards her car and was close enough to see she wasn't armed. (Both of her hands are on the steering wheel and she doesn't have time to stop steering to grab a gun. And there's two men very, very near her car watching her every move.)
He went around the back of her car, possibly to see what bumper stickers she had on it. A tactic 'police' use to see what they are dealing with.
He then moved his phone from his right hand to his left so he could pull his gun out. You can see this hand swap in his own video.
He stood in front of a moving car. Which anyone of decent intelligence knows not to do. Christ, little kids are taught to stay out of the way of moving vehicles. AND law enforcement are trained not to do this.
The only reasons to do that are immense stupidity or to escalate the situation.
She was turning away from him as she drove away, relatively slowly. There was no wheel spinning. This wasn't an iraqi insurgent hell bent on blowing up a road block.
He pulled his gun instantly. He was itching to get his gun out.
He shot her in the face and head without hesitation. Why didn't he shoot the tyres, or engine? Why didn't he shoot her arms, or torso. Why aim for the head of an unarmed person?
The real question is why shoot at all?
Police aren't supposed to just execute bad guys that are trying to escape, so they are definitely not supposed to shoot at unarmed civilians that are pulling out of their own driveway.
After he shot her he calls her a "fucking bitch".
There's no point in this that he's not fucking things up. He went out that day to murder someone.
