But they did kill them, so did the policeman do a bad or not? Because the president and his administration says this was all good and I would say that the policeman should be investigated for an illegal use of force. What's your view on that?

I don't agree with it being 'Good' An investigation certainly should happen and thats for the judge to decide. 

But I would never say to a Friend/Family even enemy 'when Police ask to get out of the car, you should drive away' and I think anyone agrees on it.

This is one of those situations that if he/they did not shoot and she hit someone while driving away the officer(s) could have been blamed aswell.

So instead of accepting the very small risk of her injuring someone while driving away and simply filing a report for disobeying a police officer, they should use any force necessary to stop her?

Are you actually excusing the officer for firing point blank range 3 times at her, just because he could possible be blamed in case she might have possibly hit someone while driving away? Actually the officer shooting her did cause her to lose control and could very well have caused another accident if the car hadn't hit a pole. 

Not in any possible scenario would there have been a less dangerous outcome than simply letting her get out of the way.
