"Get out of the car."

Something's wrong. The officer shouldn't have shot the kid, but the kid ran for a reason. I suspect there were drugs in the car or the car was either stolen or involved in something illegal the day before.

@Jolly there's a LOT wrong with this.
First of all, the cop should not have opened the door without knocking, identifying himself as a LEO.
The kid absolutely should not have tried to move the car once the door was opened.
The cop should never have fired into a fleeing vehicle.

And...I admit bias towards law enforcement. I don't want the job and a lot of people don't want the job. Mostly because of who you deal with and the situations you get put in.

My neighbor's a cop. She's almost bailed my ass out more times than I can count. It's embarrassing.
My cousin's a trooper. He received a commendation from his department because he and trooper Smith figured out a safe way to pull over assholes racing crotchrockets on the beltway late at night. (Funnily enough, I grew up with trooper Smith. He sat behind my dad and I at mass.)
I like those guys, and my neighbor. I'm glad they do what they do.
Unlike these three, there are also a lot of "officers of the law" out there who adorn their personal cars with Punisher shit because they'd love to fucking shoot somebody. Love to have a reason. Falling Down is their favorite movie and Michael Douglas is their hero. They look for a reason every fucking time they put their uniform on. I see plenty of these assholes, too. (Like a lot of other places, many of them live here but don't work here.)
Yeah they have a hard job nobody wants or respects anymore. Sorry, no, it doesn't make them more saintly. For a good handful, like this Frank Castle wannabe motherfucker right here, it makes them more dangerous.

Once the car was identified as being the car from the incident earlier in the week, the officer should have pulled his cruiser behind the vehicle, blocking it from backing out of the space and preventing an escape.
-
The lights should have then been turned on alerting the driver and passenger to the fact that it was the police.
-
The officer then should have approached the car, knocking on the window.
