Whered you see that?

Start with the fact that the shoplifter was unarmed (or the police would have made it their headline).

Or draw the reasonable conclusion that, because he was able to fire and "dodge" a slow moving vehicle that rolled gently to a stop afterwards, he had to have had his gun out while "issuing commands" at her.

Or remember how police are trained to interact with POC and their communities, leading them to escalate every situation and encounter with a POC. (Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have their guns drawn from the moment the worker flagged them across the parking lot and said she was a shoplifter. But that's my cynicism and not a reasonable conclusion. The reasonable one being they had guns drawn when they boxed her car in and "issued commands.")
