ย  ย  One officer is seen standing at her door and repeatedly telling her to "get out of the car".
ย  ย  "For what?" she responds twice, adding: "I'm not going to do that."
ย  ย  One officer seen in front of the car has his left hand on the hood, his gun drawn in the other hand.
ย  ย  "Are you going to shoot me?" she says moments before a single shot is fired and the officer quickly moves out of the car's path.

ย  ย  The cop who killed her was in no danger, and has time to casually stroll out of the way of the vehicle.

ย  ย  What he doesn't have is a name or a face โ€” as often happens, the police haven't been named, and their faces have been blurred in the video.

ย  ย  Why?

If they weren't cops โ€” if they were just a pair of random dudes killing a black pregnant woman, and there was video footage โ€” would their names remain secret, their faces blurred?
