3. They were dressed in street clothes, jumping on their hood, trying to break out their windows, and one even pulled a gun on the unarmed girls. Undercover cops are often dressed in street clothes. The hood part we only have her side. Breaking out their windows... I saw the girl say that, and then say they were knocking... then banging... then back to knocking... which is it? Gun... the girl said the gun was pulled... the officers said the gun was made ready, which means from the harness, but not pointed at anyone. Her story has changed a few times. Even if her story is changing a bit, I think we know that she had the belief that the person making the arrest had the intent of victimizing the defendant (as evidenced by the 911 call). I think this is pretty obviously a reasonable belief with some of the obvious facts of the case- it was night, the agents were undercover, and they appeared threatening when she attempted to comply with their orders. Sure, the rest of her story might provide even more reason that she had this particular belief, but it's in excess- I don't think anything else really matters in the case, including the agents' side of the story, nor would anything change if she *had* hurt one of the agents.
