Police had no way of knowing that she was unarmed. She could have had anything in that backpack, including chemical or biological weapons, and she was actively trying to proceed deeper into secured areas, and closer to the House Chamber, via a broken interior window. The officer who shot her was doing his job well, as was the officer who agreed to George Floyd's demand to get out of the squad car and lie down on the ground, and then took up a position in which he was prepared to immediately stop any attempt by Floyd to get up and run. When people are caught in the act of committing a crime, it is reasonable and appropriate for law enforcement on the scene to interpret all the information they have about the perp through a filter which assumes criminal intent is likely. Makes no difference who the perp is or what the perp claims their intentions are.
