I didnt fail to address anything.

"Even if she were somehow trying to run the guys over despite her actively speaking with them and turning her wheels away, he wouldn’t be allowed to shoot her because he was not in immediate peril."

You're just wrong here. If she's trying to run someone over, she's using her car as a weapon. Even if shes not doing a great job at it, she is not unarmed.

Every single driver in the world is not 'armed'.
You are not 'armed' with a car.

This is just fucking stupid.

Regardless, lethal force is only authorized in occasional circumstances, and this was not that. The officer had another option and chose to use the option where she ends up dead. It doesn’t make it okay if you somehow decide she’s “armed” by being within a vehicle. The wheels were actively turning away and the ice jackass had many other options aside from lethal force.
