Her reaction was swift and deadly. Job well done on her part. She almost made one fatal mistake. she positioned herself too far forward when she walked around to the driver's door. She should have stayed even with the door post behind the driver until she had his hands in sight on the steering wheel. The suspect has to turn hard left in order to shoot the officer. Gives the officer more time to react.
Based on this one incident, I would not worry about her covering my back if she was my partner.
On our latest shooting, we had a female Sgt. shoot and kill a suspect who had grabbed a deputies gun and get off one shot, no one hit, and she saved that deputies life.
