Good Samaritan laws are explicitly designed to remove liability from people who stop to provide aid in good faith, not make you an accessory if you refuse to assist.
Not that I disagree with you in principle, but in this specific situation does she not have a gun, a taser, pepper spray, anything? Unlike a scenario where she is, say, ambushed while patrolling, the men don’t even pay attention to her. She has the option to approach this situation with any tool available to her out of what she has on her belt and in her car that might help make up for her physical disadvantage and she doesn’t. She also doesn’t seem to have any sense of fear or urgency. I suspect this is not merely “woman technically passed the tests but is outmatched by men,” but “woman did not even pass the tests, but is allowed through because woman.”

That's actually one problem with female cops. Because they lack the strength and therefore the confidence to get physical they're more likely to use excessive force when shit goes down. It gets people killed, and naturally no one gives a shit unless the dead guy is black.
That’s why I was saying pepper spray and taser but yes, that’s an issue as well. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a confidence problem, though; I would call it a sudden, reality-enforced assessment of the lack of tools available to a given female officer, performed far later than it should have been, to the detriment of everyone involved.
Men and women, generally speaking, have entirely different risk aversion profiles. Testosterone is directly implicated. Men also have considerably faster reaction times, better spatial reasoning and coordination, and considerably higher upper body strength for a reason. This isn't the result of a lack of life experience, this is the result of thousands of years of evolution.
Outliers exist, but generally speaking, women are not suited to such roles.
My campus has its own police department, and they let a smoking hot blonde join the force. She's easily a 9 or 10. She's also probably only a few inches above 5 feet tall and it's clear that she doesn't have the strength to make an arrest if she needs to. We all know how she got the job and it wasn't her stellar resume.
A sixteen-year-old youth managed to disarm and incapacitate three assailants, two of them armed with lethal weapons and actively using them, without any police training. The assailants were all hardened criminals: thieves, pedophiles, and batterers.
If a child like Rittenhouse can manage it, I expect a cop to do at least half as well.
Kyle was male and at least partway through puberty though. Like a poster above said, testosterone changes the way the you think and how you approach dangerous situations. In another society, Kyle would have been sent out on the battlefield just by virtue of being a semi-mature male. Any society that sent women, of any age, into battle was exceedingly rare in the past.
You're stilling looking at a difference of thousands of years of evolution.
The instant reply is “why are we paying for her to be useless and an accessory to a crime?”
Heck, they charged some of the Floyd cops for not intervening.
One of the dudes who filmed the Abery shooting got life in prison.

I would find it easy to believe a court might try to twist that if it were at all possible.
When you think about it, many of our problems boil down to “reasonable laws, interpreted and enforced by morons and malefactors.”

I think that's overly optimistic.

Pepper spray would most likely get them to stop beating the man until a more capable officer arrived.

Right? Maybe they should call Kyle and get him to do some training.

The same thing I would expect a single male police officer to do. Except we all know that is a false equivalence.
