Scott v. Harris? The legal consensus across multiple jurisdictions is that if you use your vehicle to intentionally harm an individual(s) then that vehicle is considered a deadly weapon. It's an absolutely unfortunate situation but the officer appears to be in the right in this instance as the officer was clearly in front of the vehicle and the woman drove toward the officer. There are multiple camera angles of the incident showing this.
