He pulled a gun. He chose risking the ruination of lives. That it was his own is the second-best possible outcome after “none”.

She wasn’t a police officer at the time, so police brutality is not appropriate. In Canada, she could be facing Excessive Use of Force, which carries similar penalties to Assault.
