She could've killed someone if she wanted so this is commonly used to give her an out. Juliette didn't kill anyone but she didn't care about harming them. Did she really expect Hank to push Monroe out of the way at the last second? She wasn't determined to kill him but she she didn't care if the bullet hit him or not. It was all a game to her.Everyone know throwing Rosalee and Monroe was not going to hurt them. They are wesen. Plus Both came at Juliette she did not go towards them. Nick and Hank had guns. A bullet would stop Juliette. Hank and Nick pointed them at her. had they pulled the trigger she would be dead. Hank did not push Monroe at the last minute. Juliette did not fire until Hank pushed Monroe out of the way. Why do you think she was waiting. Like she said woo that was close. Confirming she meant to only scare them.
How can you say Juliette made the first move. When it was Rosale that rushed toward Juliette after the jar. Hank and Nick made the first deadly threat. Juliette reacted to them. If they had not taken their guns out. A gun would not have been pointed at Monroe. Hank and Nick where their as civilians and pulled a gun on someone. That makes the use of deadly force admissible as a form of self defense. Anyone observing it was two guys pulling a weapons on an unarmed person.
Juliette levitated the bottle in the air. This was after the shop started shaking. You wondered why they didn't just ask for the bottle back. They made made a reasonable assumption that she was going to let it drop. Why would they think she's going to give it back?
Rosalee then lunges for the bottle. Juliette must think she's trying to attack her. Why didn't Juliette just assume Rosalee was trying to catch the bottle since she just said that they couldn't make any more? The priority in that situation would be to get the bottle rather than attack Juliette and let it fall. Did she really think no one would make an attempt to get it back? Apparently, no one was thinking straight that night.
The point I'm trying to make is that everyone besides Juliette was on their toes after Juliette threatened Adalind and her unborn child in the middle of a police station and burned the trailer. Her actions were escalating. Juliette may not have been determined to kill them but why would they make that assumption at that time in the shop? They decided to stop trying to help Juliette after that incident. Partly because she was too far gone, but it was also likely that they were afraid to encounter her again because they would think that they might not be able to walk away the next time.
Juliette was on a power trip and probably thought they couldn't harm her but I wouldn't blame her if she thought they would try to kill her if they ran into each other again. That night at the Spice Shop changed everything.
I don't know how the laws work but couldn't Nick and Hank be considered off-duty cops?
