Sure she was wrong to be swing knives and hammers. But if you leave her in her room or house and close the doors, she will have to calm down sometime. It isn't like she could get very far.
I'll field this one.
Because, there is no right way to handle any situation...until it's over. It's extremely easy to look back on any given situation and say "This is what should've happened". Even the police themselves do it. Trust me.
Let's say that by allowing the lady to "wear herself down", she ends up injuring herself. Then the police are villified for not taking a proactive approach to the situation. They just stood around with their thumbs up their collective asses. Again...trust me.
