Your seeming empathy for an experienced officer who was a trainer and was trading the other officer’s during the stop. No other officers fired not even the officer in direct contact w Daunte. Why not let him drive away and arrest him at his residence? They had his info. IMHO she was showing off for the trainees and perceived danger ONLY because Daunte was black. I’ve seen video of a white man who jumped back in his car and drove off. Told the officers he was going to ignore them and do so while they let him drive away.
