Why would they consider that any different than a vehicular murder? If the officer was inside a police car, and you rammed your truck into the other vehicle, killing the officer, is that not capital murder under these circumstances? I think it's even more clear in this case, because had she been in a patrol car, it's unlikely her head would have made contact with the trucks windshield. Or ok, lets take a scene out of Happy Gilmore. If the officer is sitting on a scaffolding, and you ram your truck into the scaffolding, causing someone to crack their skull on your windshield, did you not just kill them?
