   Not according to any use of force policy that he could have been   
   operating under.

   Maybe she would have if another agent hadn't rushed up with no warning   
   and grabbed her driver's side door.

   I blame HIM for HIS decisions.   
      
   Specifically:   
      
   The decision to stop in front of a vehicle that was in motion a moment   
   before and which he could see from the fact that she was steering to her   
   right was going to be in motion again in another moment...   
      
   ...in direct violation of policies regarding tactical positioning of   
   agents in such situations.   
      
      
   The decision to treat a vehicle as a threat when a step to his left   
   would have completely obviated the need to use deadly force...   
      
   ...in direct violation of his use of force policies.   
      
   Shall I quote them again for you?
