She knows the cops are there and ordering people to stop, but attacks anyway? Should the cop have shot her to stop her? Why don't we ask the parents of the girl she was attacking what they think?

I don't mean any of this as an excuse but rather a "what would our perspective be if we witnessed this 5 minutes prior", but allegedly the ones she attacked attacked her first with a knife, which prompted her to call. 

In some states, her attack (not witnessed by an officer obviously) would be protected as standing her ground.

If the officer happened to be there when the first girls attacked, it's a totally different response with her being the victim and one of them potentially being dead.

The more we look at it, though, the more you just have to feel angry with any of the adults in that home environment that allowed this to get there.
