Looks like classic discrediting of the witness in a case of her word against the officer's.  Getting pulled over more than 50 times with no ticketable offense for the majority sounds like pure harassment to me. Plus there's still the overkill factor. 4 shots, no warning shot.
And it's not just this incident that fueled the mostly peaceful demonstrations.

what the heck is a warning shot? thats not a thing. and is never taught in any gun training, its not only unsafe and stupid, but also usually unlawful. 
and in almost all situation where you a forced to fire a weapon, your pretty much taught to keep firing, until the threat is neutralized, 4 shots isnt a lot. (note: i am not saying that this situation warrented shots fired, as we dont have the facts, but just stating for the record, 4 shots is not a lot, and warning shot, or shots to the extremities is not a thing)

That's the problem, shoot to kill training. Ok, warning shots are a bad idea, yet where are the tasers, pepper spray etc and what's wrong with shooting an arm or a leg. Or take cover and call backup. The guy still had his seat belt on. Sounds like military training instead of police training.
