She may have been upset that an ambulance didn't pull up next to Michael Brown.

The cops were probably certain that he was dead, but needed a medical professional to confirm. They also probably did not want to contaminate the crime scene with an ambulance driving on site - though I would hope that if there had been a chance to save Michael Brown's life, they would have allowed the ambulance as close as possible.
