[null and void]

I am in Houston and I saw this on our local news last night. They said the officer was being dragged by the car and feared he was going to go under it and be run over. They showed a photo of his shoes in the parking lot where he was pulled out of them.

That makes it self defense in my book, and everyone (except Israel, of course!) has an absolute right of self defense!

The “pulled out of his shoes” thing adds up with your guess that she tried to reverse out of the space and hooked the cop with the door.

One minor correction:”That makes it self defense in my book, and everyone (especially Israel, of course!) has an absolute right of self defense!”
