Nope. As a general rule, we advise that you try to falsify rather than justify your intuitions. Other people in this thread (somewhere) have posted the law.
The debate hinges on nothing more than (a) she was intentionally blocking a roadway, (b) she was told to stop and exit the vehicle (c) she resisted arrest and sought to flee, (d) the officer that was originally to the passenger side, was moving to the driver’s side, when she accelerated toward him. (e) her actions constitute a threat of deadly force to an officer engage in restoring lawful behavior. It doesn’t matter what she thought. (f) It only matters what he thought.
All people have the right to deadly force when threatened by a deadly weapon (including a vehicle) and all law enforcement has the right to fire upon those fleeing capture if there is any chance they will post a danger to others.
That’s the law.
Sorry.
