It sounds more like an inner-city shooting incident than a rural GA “Babe” cop’s “mistake/error/fu”. Her days are definitely numbered in that area. She better be packing-up the house to get moved a long way away, because the rural people I know don’t forget something like this.
She will not be able to function in her job.
Everyone she meets will throw up their hands and shout, “Don’t Shoot!”
Everywhere she goes, she will be hounded.
Plus her patrol car will probably be a magnet for abuse.
... and that’s just the start of it ...
Of course, she will likely claim to be traumatized by the event,
and will end up with some kind of tax-payer funded disability or pension,
