And have you never heard any talk through a face mask? It doesn't significantly impede the sound. Try it yourself. Cover your mouth with a mask, t-shirt, whatever's available, and try barking loud commands like the officers did. You'll find it's easy to hear.

She turned her wheels hard to the left, backed up, turned her wheels to the right of the officer, and moved forward to leave. No sign of using the car as a deadly weapon at all. And the shooter knew it. He saw her turning the steering wheel to avoid hitting him. It was a rage killing, as demonstrated in taking 3 shots at her in the face. It's all on the videos.
In 2026, for an average adult man (approx. 5'9") to clearly see whether an SUV's front tires are turned from a position directly in front of the vehicle, he typically needs to be 5 to 10 feet away from the front bumper.
Key Factors for Pedestrian Visibility
Physical Obstruction: The front tires are recessed inside wheel wells and behind a front bumper that, on many 2026 SUVs, can be 3–4 feet high. When standing closer than 5 feet, the "overhang" of the hood and bumper physically blocks the view of the rubber meeting the pavement.

He saw her steering the steering wheel after backing up. He knew she was trying to get away. And that's why he murdered her.

Yep..that's what happens when you theatrically throw yourself on the hood of a car. It's certainly not the car's fault. After he walked around for a while, they rushed him to the hospital to support the narrative of him being run over. No injuries of course. Imagine that!
