of course it's a hypothetical question.... I don't think I presented it any other way???
I really don't know what happened but as best as I can understand it she was trying to forcibly escape by ramming her car through police officers.... IF THAT IS THE CASE then deadly force is authorized by our current laws and they would have killed me or you or anyone else..... an automobile IS a deadly weapon.
male or female makes no difference here.... none at all.
the fact that she has mental problems doesn't give her a pass but does make it a tragic event that SHOULD have been avoidable.... One COULD argue that anyone who entered into a battle with the police had mental problems.
Who knows, maybe the first secret service man could have stopped the situation by telling her he would take her to the president and removing her from the car and detaining her right there and then.
