See here’s the issue. In no way do I think she’s innocent, (you can probably put me in the liberal camp here) I just don’t think she had to die because of it.

What was supposed to happen? Stand there and politely ask her to stop knifing the other person? Get in a fistfight with someone who has a knife and hope she only cuts up your arms and doesn't get you in the throat or eyes?
She didn't "have" to die. You don't shoot to kill. You shoot to stop the aggression. You aim for the center of mass because Hollywood movies aren't real and pistols are not precision implements. That someone happens to die is unfortunate, but not necessarily a given. People survive being shot much more often than not. Did the police officer walk over and plug her half a dozen more times once she was motionless on the ground to make sure? There's a wide difference between stopping aggression and purposely killing someone.
