One if you hit her just right

Blue Suicide, but I'm quite certain she did not anticipate being run over and having her body end up mangled beneath a car. No doubt, she had the "blaze of glory" fantasy, with thoughts of bullets flying.

Cars make excellent weapons, both offensive and defensive.

That's why I carry a 44 magnum, 357 is a good round but I've seen them bounce of windshields , not good in a city.

I saw that one too.

You know, they could actually make a movie out of this. I can see the title now:

Bonnie and Collide.

LOL......he could have just hit the gun out of hand.

Good lesson, the tool you are driving is 100x more lethal than the one on your hip

plus they make that smashed melon sound if you hit them right

Good job.

Also take into account the background and where she was running toward, a school.

I feel sorry for the officer; for the rest of his career he will be referred to as Speedbump or Deathrace (see the original David Carradine movie for scoring values ).

Exactly. Deadly force is deadly force. If it's justified and necessary in order to stop the threat, it doesn't matter if the threat is stopped by shooting it with a gun, stabbing it with a knife, bludgeoning it with a blunt object, running it over with a car, or even blowing it up with a robotic bomb (as seen in the Dallas standoff).

It's just that in most situations, a gun is the safest and most efficient method of delivering that deadly force in order to stop the threat. But not in every case, and not in this case.

Boys and girls, do not try this at home. She is a professional.
