My sentiments exactly. Being within their rights to kill her, and actually deciding to do so, are two different things.
How very brave of them. The odds of her injuring a cop, if handled properly (short of shooting her dead) are next to zero.
Public servants naturally have to put themselves at risk sometimes in the performance of their job. This sort of response is the absolute maximum they could do.
Why not start with something a little less lethal, all thing considered?
Legal battles go on forever for criminals on trial, deciding whether they’re sane enough or not, to even be tried.
She did not even get that much mercy.
A hail of bullets.
You just *know* whatever psychobabble quackery meds they had her on caused this.
