Good thing that she didn’t have a dog in the car.
Not really.
Some pundit on Fox was saying the police were legally justified in the shooting because, even though the women was unarmed, she was in a sensitive area and...might...have had a car bomb or bomb vest. If that is true they could legally shoot anybody in the Capitol area at any time, under the same reasoning...
So, they could pull a baby from the car, but not the woman? This didn’t have to end the way it did.
I won’t watch anything with woof blather. I’ll have to wait for the movie or something.
Oh, come on. Those hundreds of cops assassinating that black women were heroes. That’s what the chief of police called them. Heroes.
They got all ramped up thinking they had some real bad guys .

The child’s REAL father being associated with the White House
would explain much.
I still think this was a perfect opportunity for cops to have a martial law drill. The fact they had someone to executive was so much the better for them.
Will the IRS be visiting her soon?
I had FOX news on when this was happening and all they could talk about was that the President was OK and was not in danger at any time.
I’ve always been a firm supporter of LEO.
I was one of the few who turned out at Westlake Center in support of the SPD...outnumbered by thousands.
These last few years, though, I am very careful to distinguish between LEO that supports the citizenry and the US Constitution that points out our God-given rights and those that are no better than the storm troopers of a neo-fascist state.
I support the former.
The latter are my enemy as much as any foreign nation or terrorist group that seeks the destruction of our liberties and thus the destruction of our nation.
No matter how we slice it, this case needs to be looked into. There are TOO MANY unanswered questions. No doubt this woman was just plain executed without reason.
Let’s think about this for a second: You’re a mother with your young child in the car. suddenly, there are police surrounding you with guns yelling. Your first reaction MIGHT be the same as her’s: “These men are about to kill me and my child, I’ve got to get out of here!” You move forward seeing clearly you’re not gonna make it pass the barricades, so you hit reverse, hit the cop car, the beat feat at the first opening.
This woman was a dental-hygenist in CT. That means she’s not nuts. Allow me to put on a racial stero-typical hat for a second? If you are a professional black woman, you are even more so on the straight-and-narrow than most since you struggle to NOT have society see you as just another baby factory/leach on society. I would love to have a look at her home and neighborhood.
Has anyone determined what she was doing in DC at that time?
Miriam Carey, 34, a licensed dental hygienist of Stamford, Conn.
For those who don’t know, that’s not a quick car ride FROM CT. You have to go through or around NYC. It’s a 248 Mile, 4 hr 23 min drive - without traffic.

an excerpt from the story is as follows:
“...The sisters spoke late Friday outside Valarie Carey’s home in Brooklyn. They say Miriam Carey had been suffering from postpartum depression since the birth of her 1-year-old daughter...”. This is common among middle-aged single moms shortly after birth. But no reason to suddenly drive into the white house.
At least, I don't see the blaring Trayvon-type headlines and demonstrations and editorials of outrage which were rife after the Florida shooting.
I thought white folk were cold and heartless when it comes to the travails of blacks. This doesn't appear to be the case here. Perhaps someone could explain this phenomenom to me.
(...rhetorical question, of course, but then again, maybe not)

Now SHOOT TO KILL... I guess TASERS are too DEADLY!
What’s unbelievable is the number of Freepers so quick to buy the official version of what happened. This story and the silence on the burning man on the mall trouble me more than anything this week.
I wonder how many standing ovations they would have gotten from congress if they had blown the baby away?
