You don't need to pretend the woman was some innocent bystander who wanted nothing to do with the situation ("trying to get away"), and the fact that you're doing it so you can call the shooting an "execution" is pretty telling.
This was a woman who was resisting officers in a dangerous manner, and an officer who made a (poor) snap decision in order to prevent that. That's not an execution, no matter what weapon was used or how far away it was used from.
Most people who are executed "aren't innocent". What they are is unable to defend themselves against lethal levels of unwarranted violence.
The woman in question wasn't driving away to avoid getting shot, nor was she driving away intending to maim or kill.
Therefore, absolutely nobody should have been maimed or killed - but one guy decided he should take the chance from point blank range rendering survivability an absolute impossibility.
It was murder, it was an execution, and a real country would charge him with murder.
