Congress applauded Bush’ absurd pronouncement that Islam is a ROP, right after the events of 9/11/2001.

And, after all that has happened, if some fool would again say the same today there would still be a large number of critters getting up on their feet and joyously approve of that idiotic declaration.

There are two kinds of black shooting victims ; there are bad shooting victims shot by Washington police while driving a vehicle recklessly in D.C.: then there are good black shooting victims who are shot for merely pounding on a WHITE Latino not knowing said WHITE Latino is packing heat while said good black shooting victim is ....well casing the joint. Have I made this distinction perfectly clear?

They could have disabled that vehicle without murdering a mentally ill person.

yeah, bravo to our heros that fired round after round, clip after clip into an unarmed mother with her child looking on in horror. A cookie for all of them.

They obliterated a black woman with a toddler in the car. They've just told me what chance they'll give me if I make a wrong turn in the Imperial capital. I thank them for that.

Nobody came out of this picture looking particularly beautiful for what they did. SWAT teams more and more assume the worst today. Now put that together with a potential threat to the Capitol and it’s easy to understand, if not necessarily excusable.

So they get the car to stop and then reach in and take the kid out and then shoot her to death.

Now that’s bothersome —

Very true. I think anyone with a relative with mental illness knows the sense of helplessness.

The colonists who stood on Lexington Green were threats to the redcoats. The government took them out. And we all cheer for the redcoats, don't we? [/s]

Was she crazy? I'm not sure. Did she use her car as a weapon? I'm not sure.
She might not be a very good example of a citizen standing up to government tyranny -- but the day comes when good citizens WILL stand up to government tyranny. And the government WILL carry out executions with extreme prejudice.

So I think people might want to be a little slow in cheering for the government guys who are killing citizens. Unless, of course, you like that sort of thing.

she was a threat.....period....take her out

I guess if the L.A. cops had shot Rodney King as soon as he stopped instead of beating his a$$ they would have received standing ovations and medals of valor: instead of going to jail!!

“...with the car blocked in on all sides, shoot out the tires???”

Maybe they WERE shooting at the tires.

Suppose she was wired...or the car was loaded with explosives...You use your instincts and training. I don’t always agree with them...but this time...I do.

If the car was going to be detonated why spend all the time on a chase?

You said it. I almost threw up when they all applauded and then that puking RINO Eric Cantor had to suck up with his little kneebend to the Capitol police.

Not one person that I have heard has denounced this basic execution of an unarmed citizen. Where are Al, Jesse and the NAACP? Crickets so far. They are afraid to bite the hand that feeds them.

The exercise was still in progress. The actors were given scenarios and being hyped up with all the “terrorism” were ready for anything to happen.

Many times these “exercises” tend to go live and oops a non actor gets caught in the middle.

I recall one “exercise” on the range were an unauthorized drove his M/C onto the range where 25 guys popped up out of the weeds and let loose with M-16’s full auto (blanks).

I am sure he needed a clothing change after that fun.

But you can see how a “training” exercise can have bad endings.

Murdering a confused woman in a city where she was probably lost and having armed men pointing guns at you screaming orders would tend to cause the flight reflex in a woman with her baby in the car.

Just saying.

Applauding the “hero’s” who just killed a human well that’s just sick and sadistic!

We keep hearing different accounts about what really happened. That fact bothers me more then anything. If the cops are so sure they acted properly they should release the video of the shooting to the public. I have a hard time trusting what this government says. Just look at Benghazi, fast and furious and what they are doing to Veterans today. We need the video so we can see what really happened.

It just seems something is fishy here. She was unarmed. The car was stopped. The cops emptied clips. She’s dead. No information or video released. There must be 100’s of “security” cams in the effected area.

I’ve heard there was no damage to the front of her car... indicating it hadn’t rammed anything

have you heard the same? any information on this?

If that car was wired to blow, don’t you think it would have blown over at the WH where this started?

Isn’t it curious how we haven’t seen either the WH videotape nor any video of how this ended?
