OK, you have a full grown out of control violent person physically attacking armed law enforcement officers. There is a distinct possibility that she will try to take a gun from one of the officers. She is not acting rational. She is dangerous to the officers, the other rioters, and herself. She needs to be controlled as quickly as possible. Cops wearing accessible weapons have no business grappling with violent persons. Those officers were in a no-win situation with rioting savages on one side and an appeasing mayor and police administration on the other.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
