Pro-tip. If the cops shoot you with a taser, whether or not that shit works, fucking prat fall because bullets are coming next whether or not you're "aggressive", if you're still standing.

What was the hurry here?

Ending the encounter as quickly as possible to mitigate unnecessary risk to the public and officers.

10 more minutes could have made a big difference in how this played out.

Yeah she might have lunged at one and shoot several bullets to the chest. Lucky her.

She was not an immediate danger to anyone, which is why the shooting was ruled unjustified. I mean clearly she appears to have blinding cat-like reflexes based on this video, but there was obviously enough space between her and the two officers pointing guns at her to mitigate any real threat of being lunged at. I saw no members of the public nearby, just her accomplice. Again, this officer shot her 3 minutes after showing up. She wasn't going to detonate. There's no reason they could not have let this play out a little.
