There's a frame in the YouTube video I linked where the officer is right in front of the car, the car wheel is still turned toward the driver window (so if no steering is done it would run over the officer, moreover it is directed to where the officer ends up in the end), and the front wheels with a skid starts pulling the car forward in that direction. In fact, the car goes toward the officer for about 15 frames of the video and only visibly changes direction for 1 or 2 frames just before the shot (mind you that's less than 100ms at 30fps), after the gun is pulled out and pointed straight at the window.

I would refrain from making any judgment on that because I don't know the intricacies of the law, but it is certainly not "clear" as a lot of people here seem to claim. I suspect most never watched the video in detail or interpreted it with hindsight.
