She didn’t behave like a terrorist. No reasonable person could look at that video and see intent to injure. Clear intention is to flee, not to cause damage.
Seeing every situation as a terrorist situation is a fixation, and results in cases like this where a person was killed who didn’t have to be killed.
That is a military posture, not a civilian posture. It is completely inappropriate in any US city, especially the Capitol itself. It is just like the case in Iraq where US soldiers gunned down a woman approaching their checkpoint - she was carrying food for them, to thank them. It is the siege mentality that causes the inappropriate escalation of violence.
In addition, there is the question of essential responsibilities of the police. It is their responsibility to absorb threats to civilians, not to create them, or to magnify those threats and reflect them back on the public through a high-violence posture. The one-car crashed cruiser exemplifies the recklessness of the police response - completely unnecessary violence and damage caused entirely by force posture and attitude with no outside assistance required.
Unless the US is under military occupation, this is a murder case.
No, really. You should come to Washington and express your concerns in person to the Secret Service agents outside the White House. I’m sure they’d be glad to hear your opinion. Too bad I’m not.
