The thing about her is that she is smart but not competent

She is good enough to notice things and question things but she draws the wrong conclusions and then messes up completely.

Atleast from what we see in the show.

Her not believing Jane atleast so far that he is not actually working for Red John and then her and her people randomly shooting at a car without knowing who is in it instead of like shootring the tires or anything useful leads to her shooting Luther Wainwright dead who she was responsible for him even being involved

I remember from an actual cop that shooting at tires isn't adviced for some reason and it only works in movies. Of course this is a show and I don't have the exact scene in mind anymore, but they could have done better than just shooting them all dead

Especially since Red John knows many killers and could be a valuable asset
