Entirely possible.
The DC police are going to be using excessive and unnecessary force due to all the tension there. The rest of the United States is fine. But DC has lots of barrycades and people on furlough.
Anywhere else in the country, this would be inexcusable use of excessive force. To justify this action to the rest of the country, she is reported to be nuts.
Kidd, Just had a case in Culpeper Virginia where an officer came up to a woman in a parking lot of a church, started screaming at her and she drove away. He started shooting and killed her. No threat to him, she had no guns, she didn’t drive at him, just tried to get away from the screaming man with a gun. He got a slap on the wrist.
