standing two inches in front of the car so they could interpret fleeing as attack

Yeah, she should have succeeded in running over a police officer, that would have been better.

You're an asshole. Go away.

The video shows an officer at the driver’s side window telling Young she has been accused of theft and repeatedly demanding that she get out of the car. A second officer is standing in front of the car.

Young protests, and the first officer repeats his demand. Young then turns the steering wheel to her right and the car moves toward the officer standing in front of it, who fires his gun through the windshield. Young’s sedan then drifts into the grocery store’s brick wall.
