Minnesota prosecutors are going to have a hard time getting away from that.

I don't think they would try. If there's going to be a prosecution, it would be grounded on a determination that an objectively reasonable officer would have determined that deadly force was not necessary to prevent great bodily harm to the officer (or another).

The argument is that a reasonable officer in that scenario would have known that the woman was simply driving away and not trying to run him (or anyone else) over, and neither he nor anyone else would have been injured if she had been allowed to drive away unimpeded. Whether you believe that argument or not, that would be what the prosecution would be trying to establish.
