I disagree with Obama on almost everything, but this shooting was completely justified. She drove through a White House barrier and hit a person with her car, yet her family says she's "not dangerous"?

I keep seeing comments that her family said the shooting was justified because she was crazy. So I guess these sisters aren’t her family?

It seems like the police could have shot out the tires
first, before going lethal.

I would agree with you but there was not damage to the front of her car.

We had a cop killed by “unarmed” bank robbers a couple years ago. They ran him down with a truck and the idiots still said “They were just trying to get away”.

I understand that the family is outraged, I guess.

But how would the police know that this person was a woman and unarmed? In today’s world of car bombs who the heck knows what a person’s intent is.

I am saddened that this lady went coo-coo. And that she couldn’t find a daycare to take care of her child to protect him/her from her craziness. (Where was the family?) But truthfully, if I were charged with protection of the area...the outcome would have been the same.

I also read reports that said the cop injured himself and that she did not try to ram any gates. Considering it was a pretty young black woman with a small child, I will take what the authorities say with a grain of salt on this one.

Righto. That car could easily have been carrying 500 pounds of explosives.

They had her blocked in at the barriers and if they had just pulled a vehicle in behind her and shot out her tires she was going nowhere.

Is there some reason why they did not do this????

The only reason she was not shot at the first stop was simply that no cop was ready to shoot a BLACK (and worse yet..) WOMAN even though their own lives were in danger.

They did not want to be Treyvoned along with the charge of female civil rights violations.

How bad can it get? Political Correctness, the death of our nation.

i agree. i think it’s pretty clear why she is no longer alive.

what IS in question is what the backstory behind her bizarre behavior is.

There are varying stories out there.

It seems to me that the most likely is that she drove up to the barrier and was told to turn around and get out of there. She hit it in the awkward process of turning around.

If a cop got hit by a car, how do we know it was her car that did it? Several police seem to have managed to crash their cars without her assistance.

Law enforcement from different branches were all running around like crazy, waving their assault rifles and apparently shooting this woman, who was unarmed.

It sounds to me as if they responded in all the wrong ways to this crisis, and went completely berserk. It’s extremely lucky that they didn’t kill any of the innocent bystanders who were running around and ducking for cover.

If she was threatening to hurt or kill a cop with her car, maybe it would be justified. But I really doubt that’s what happened.

1. Was she a danger? Yes
2. Was this handled properly? No
3. Could less than deadly force have been used? Yes
4. Why not? Lack of training. Robocop mentality on part of many cops today. Too many different enforcement agencies involved. Car was not going anywhere. If it was suspected of being wired would you walk up to it? Mistaken idea that you need to quickly “resolve” any conflict.
5. The Capital officer injured by deployment of car barricade by SS. This happens often in this type of situation. Your mates are more dangerous than the perp. in some instances. Think friendly fire. I have seen cops go down when one of them decided to shoot into a solid steel door. Not smart.
6. Shooting is the last resort not the first. Watching too many TV cop shows.
I was a state trooper and former agent about 30 years ago.
We prided ourselves on using that least used sense, common sense.

Then you are wrong, she was at the US Capital, not the White and she had exited her car and was fleeing UNARMED when she was fired upon by UNION POLICE THUGS, they fired over 30 rounds at this UNARMED woman.

Keep in mind that HITLER had the help of union police thugs to take control on Germany.

Sad situation all around. No way the police can be blamed. When they say stop, it is best to STOP.

Besides, Trayvon had already died for her sin

The Sisters should be questioning the Doctors
who prescribed psychotropic drugs for her feeling blue.

I was under the impression that she didn’t get through any White House barrier, and that the person who “was hit,” put himself in the way.
