8 thoughts on “The shooting”

  1. It is depressing. When I saw that the ‘perp’ was a woman and that after carshing the White House gates she tried to get away, I thought the whole ‘attack’ scenario was bogus. When I heard there was a child in the car, I knew it. Apparently the only thing more dangerous than a bad guy with a gun, is thirty police officers with guns.

  2. Yet another, “Traffic Stop Gone Bad.” Scared civilian on the run becomes justification for execution.

  3. When I saw pictures of the cluster of cops aiming assault weapons at point-blank range, my first thought was, “Next we’ll hear she wasn’t even armed.”

    And, right on schedule….

    Too many cops are out of control.

  4. Law enforcement mayhem has a long tradition in the United States. On December 4, 1969, at 4 AM community organizer and Black Panther member Fred Hamton was killed in his bed by the Chicago PD. Hundreds of rounds were fired into his home. On May 3, 1985, the MOVE Headquarters located at Cobbs Creek in West Philadelphia was fire bombed by the police department. The resulting fire leveled an entire block of row houses. On April 19, 1993, the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas was burned to the ground killing dozens of children. Depression has only two outcomes. 1. Become frozen in place. 2. Take action. Peaceful action.

  7. I don’t know enough about the particulars of how this went down (thanks, MSM), but the woman was clearly a danger to the public with her driving (and not as clearly to the cops, a danger to the baby in the car). If she was still behind the wheel and the car was operational at all, I can see using lethal force against her. The thing that shocks me is the danger all those guns and bullets posed to bystanders, not to mention any innocent persons who might have been in the car with her. It’s a miracle no one else was killed.

  8. ps. Looks like she had fled the car on foot before being shot, so there really was no excuse for what happened to her at the end, although some of the shots fired at her while driving might have been justified (or might not). What if she had been carjacked and drove like that because there was a gun held at her head, and finally got a chance to flee, only to be shot dead by the cops? I guess anyone who has the misfortune to be near an event that even remotely makes our masters feel threatened is just screwed.
