Well, she didn't LET him have it.  He took it away from her.

And a deputy isn't the same as a policewoman - the police are usually
responsible for addressing crime on the street, while sheriff's
department employees are responsible for people in custody or with
warrants out on them.

But that's a minor point.

It's very remarkable but when the news that a prisoner had overpowered
a deputy and grabbed the gun that he later used to shoot the judge,
the details concerning the culpable deputy had been withheld, and I
mentioned earlier today to someone in my office that I had a feeling
that it was a female deputy.  I really did say that earlier today.

Your average male deputy is fairly unlikely to be overpowered by a
prisoner encumbered by chains and ankle bracelets.

Logical positivism, dominant in American and
British universities, is suicidally bent upon
establishing the impossibility of knowing any-

himself to a mosquito, able to wound, nearly
invulnerable to counter-assault - but only an
insect, not a man).
