Perhaps. Difference being, I’m not entirely sure she attempted to use her car as a weapon, any more than he did. Of course, you call it ‘assault with a deadly weapon’ when a police officer uses his car to try to force someone else to lose control of theirs. By the same token, it’s apparently never murder when cops kill citizens because we simply don’t matter to the powers that be.
Well, there is at least a difference of degree between ramming someone in a car with your car, and ramming someone not in a car with your car. Cops trying to run people off the road is certainly warranted in some situations, but like anything, they can abuse it.
