No, maybe not, but I'm not sure "she fucked around and found out" is any better of a way to refer to a woman that was just murdered.
So then why was the woman at fault for getting scared and trying to flee? "She fucked around and found out", huh?
No, regardless of if she were guilty of the extremely heinous and dangerous crime of shoplifting (the horror!), what we SHOULD be discussing is why the cop felt the need to draw his gun and point it at the woman for such a small crime (of which he had zero evidence I might add) that could have been handled a million other ways. Drawing a gun on somebody is a direct threat on their life. You may as well yell "obey or die". Under no circumstances should a gun be used so freely. She had every single right to be scared out of her mind and try to escape at that moment.
Even if we go with your opinion of her being a threat to the public, the officers are directly responsible for that and never should have let it get to that point in the first place over a god-damned shoplifting accusation. I mean fucking hell, the victim does not actually start driving forward until the cop is pointing his gun at her and screaming at her to get out of the car. Stop blaming her for the extremely excessive threat (and execution) of a police officer.
