CNN has just announced that she was driving an Acura AR-15 Assault Automobile

Was anyone riding "shotgun?"

They just showed a chopper shot of one area where dozens of cops all standing around taking on their cell phones.

Who are they all talking to?

Child in car. That changes everything.

[RKBA Democrat]

Exactly. Why are we funding the police who blew away the woman and the network that videoed it.

“We was up at the Capitol, seeing some of the protesters, saw five or six cop cars chasing that car,” said Ryan Christiansen, from Idaho Falls, Idaho. He said it was a small black car that looked like a Toyota Celica, and that police had chased it “around and around” a traffic circle near the Capitol.
.
“I thought it was a motorcade,” he said.

Did it look like this?

I took a picture and sent it to every school board member along with the Superintendant. Told them I was damned hoping mad to think someone that can afford that AND both parents smoke that I should be buying their lunch.

Their free lunches stopped soon after.

Exactly how did the free lunches stop? It is against Federal Law to do any type of income verification for free lunches. A violation puts DoE funding at risk.

[Irenic]

oof! You nailed it down good. I completely agree.

TWITTER: “We are lifting the lockdown on the Capital, please proceed in an orderly fashion to a camera and exaggerate your personal bravery.”

Best comment of the day.

Someone needs to look at the big Picture.
The Government is shut down. DC has no budget because Reid voted down the CR to fund it.
But yet there are dozens of uniformed doughnut eaters
walking around on the public dime.

Doesn’t look to me like D.C. Needs a dime of my Money.

[StolarStorm]

Oh, I feel the same way. But this sounds very different from a wrong address no knock midnight assault by uniformed morons.

“Fox car chase feed from AlHurra Television. What is that? Never heard of ALHURRA TELEVISION. Just a minor observation.”

Alhurra is operated by the non-profit corporation “The Middle East Broadcasting Networks, Inc.” (MBN).

*****MBN is financed by the U.S. Government through a grant from the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG)****, an independent federal agency.

The BBG serves oversight and as a firewall to protect the professional independence and integrity of the broadcasters.

It is still a dumb idea

[dragnet2]

So cops won’t shoot into a vehicle which is attempting to run them over if a kid is in the car?

You’re kidding right?

[PACAP1]

maybe the father of the child (also provided this G35) was in the white house and she needed more gas or baby food money?

[Toespi]

Reporting now that first officer was hit by the car, no gun shot.
