Is there any evidence at this point that she did attempt to "ram her way onto Capital Grounds?" I don't see any damage to the front of her car.
Is there any evidence she "run over a few cops?"

At some point you have to use common sense. It would be highly unusual for a terrorist with explosives in their vehicle to call attention to themselves and then lead police on a chase. That's not the MO.

I didn't see any need for the use of lethal force.

This kind of thinking is extremely dangerous and could be used to justify almost anything.
Does anyone have a better photo of her car showing the damage from "ramming the White House barrier?" The only photo I can find I don't see any damage. She also rammed a police car.
Not likely but it is possible she was not 100% certain that it was police originally approaching her - it looks like the first LEO to her car were not uniformed.
It is possible to get confused.
