I follow the following rules regarding guns:

(1) Assume every gun is loaded.
(2) Don't point the gun at someone unless you intend to pull the trigger.

These are standard safety gun rules.

Now, if I ever find myself in a situation where non-uniformed people are pointing guns at me while I am in a car, I must assume that they are going to fire at me (see rules 1 and 2 above.) Therefore, I must use the car as a weapon and in self defense I will do my best to run them over.

Which is why, as other posters have noted, arresting officers should always be in uniform, and badged. Otherwise it is reasonable to assume that men with unmarked cars, wearing civilian clothes are:
(a) carjackers
(b) kidnappers
(c) terrorists

Logically, under the circumstances, one should always attempt to run down non-uniformed personnel who are pointing guns at you. And I am not joking. People are kidnapped and then robbed, raped, and murdered every day in this country. One must defend oneself as best as one can.

Now -- in this particular case -- no one really knows all the details. But it was clearly foolish for the police to not have had some uniformed officers on hand if they were expecting to make an arrest. Nor would it have been a big deal to get out of the way and then just follow the 14 year old driver. They could have had plainly marked cars arrive, turn on lights and siren, and things would have turned out differently.

It was drug-pusher daddy's car. They didn't know it was a 14 year old girl in the driver's seat.

Stop making sense. Its not welcomed here.

The wanna be drug pusher acting as a decoy for her drug pushing father got what she deserved/sarcasm

Side note: What exactly was she supposed to be a decoy for? How did her father even know undercover DEA agents were outside? Did he try to "flee" during the ordeal?

The DEA need better lies. They are getting more pathetic by the day.
