Cops can't judge by looks or car types or even the fact that she had a kid with her.
All they can judge are on the actions, and it was a rampage. And because there is always the possibility of that car having a few bags of fertilized strapped to it. Or that weapon that she didn't have might have been a weapon out of view. They did what they had to do.
All the other stuff comes out in the investigation.
But not during the actual incident.

Correct me if I am wrong, but where did I say anything about the cops or their involvement?
But now that you bring it up, there have been several reports that many of the Capitol Police were not being paid as they were part of the current shut down.
Now, if they are not being paid, they shouldn't have been there as they were not legally on duty. If they were not legally on duty, and they shot this woman, whoa..... That can of worms could get ugly.
Edit, the indications that these people "were not being paid" isn't actually true after all. They ARE essential services, their pay is just "backlogged".
