"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." – T.S. Eliot
"The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker
A careful definition of words would destroy half the agenda of the political left and scrutinizing evidence would destroy the other half. - Thomas Sowell
"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow...
For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding." - Jeff Snyder
Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.
Lesson: use whatever you have available to neutralize the threat.
Nice. Remember what I said about shooting from a moving vehicle? It's much easier to use the 6000 (or 8000 or whatever) pound weapon that you're sitting in.

Gotta say though, he really only had to hit her with the car. Not run her over with the entire car, like that.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Fuck her, she was shooting at Cops.
I saw her point the gun, which was just as bad. But I believe all the shots came from the police. (And as usual, all of them missed.)
My point is not that she didn't deserve it. She did. My point is that it is sometimes a pisser that the cops take everything to extremes, immediately. It doesn't do them any good, in the court of public opinion.

Agree, and good fix. Self defense is self defense.
I'd add though that law enforcement may have a greater degree of responsibility to make SURE that a known bad gal/guy is down for sure than non-LE. I still believe in the "protect and serve" antiquey motto.

I could tell by how he dropped he would die right where he fell. Thought it was a head shot, but autopsy determined the bullet blew out his neck., He pulled a knife on Bellingham cops a year earlier. Must be his MO. Makes you wonder why the violent savage was walking around loose after being charged with Assault 1 less than a year ago. https://www.cob.org/news/Pages/features ... rrest.aspx
