Legal Experts From Left To Right: D.C. Cops Murdered Woman

WASHINGTON — No one knows what was on Miriam Carey’s mind when the 34-year-old dental hygienist from Connecticut drove up to a White House barricade on a balmy and clear Thursday afternoon Oct. 3 before exiting the restricted area, provoking at least seven shots from police.

Police pursued the Infiniti driven by Carey, who had her 2-year-old daughter with her in the backseat. When she stopped her vehicle near a Senate office building, an unknown number of shots rang out – all fired by law enforcement – and the single mother was killed. Her infant daughter was uninjured.

Two-and-a-half months later, police have still not issued a report on exactly what happened in the incident that paralyzed Washington for a day. But legal experts from the left and right are now calling Carey’s death at the hands of police “murder.”

No. No way. The police murdered someone!? A woman (another surprise!) they were within arms reach of and could have just pulled her out of the car (like they do all the time with people who refuse to exit their vehicle).

I would be inclined to disagree - conceptually!

She was driving her car in a non-standard manner and failed to stop when directed by appropriate authorities.

Then used her vehicle as a potential weapon.

"Clean shoot"!

I saw the video. As did millions of others.....so stop with the "clean shoot" (which cops would say if they shot a kid IN THE BACK. They ALWAYS have "justification".
The video (who ya gonna believe -- the police or the video??) show the woman STOPPED at the gate, surrounded by at least 8 cops, one of them less than 2 feet from her, yelling at her. My grandson could have yanked her through the window. But a grown man couldn't?
It was much easier to kill her and say "we were afraid!!". Stop thinking that killing people is your first and justifiable reaction to every damn thing that scares you. You cops DO wear bullet proof gear right?
And, if it was so "clean", what is the hold up on the report? Scared of the truth, too?

clean shoot, don't try to run over officers or anyone else with your car.

You missed the part where she was stopped and surrounded, huh?

lmclain said...

I guess you also missed the part about the police dragging their feet on the incident report, too, huh?
I wonder why that is....

She tried to get into the the White House compound for heavens sake. Sorry blame the family this women was deeply disturbed. They cared when she was gone. They should have done more for this women when she was alive. No one to blame here but the family. I bet they were all right there when her business was making money. With all the mass shooting why take a chance on someone this demented having an I.E.D. really she got what one gets when you try to force entry into the White House. If they didnt all of you would be crying they did not protect Ohblaablaa because he is Black. Get over it.

Trust me.No police response would have been disasterous.

3:21, as usual, its not the police response that is under question. Its the level of violence that is being questioned. And, an IED? That's the kind of hysteria you guys WANT to generate in order to keep up the "we need to kill you to make you safe". I'm pretty sure the article said "legal experts from the LEFT AND RIGHT (emphasis mine)....."
By the way, NO ONE can force their way into the White House. this ain't Hollywood. That place is a fortress. Even the windows are bulletproof. Osama bin Laden would have a better chance of coming back from the dead than anyone "forcing their way" into the White House.

Darn shame people keep trying to run over police officer with 2500lbs vehicles/weapons. When will they learn?

So why not just shoot the tires to flatten them first? someone overreacted.

Watch the video not just that provided by WMD as propaganda. She is clearly trying to murder the officers who have no choice but to shoot her or die. She will not stop. 100% Clean shoot. I hate police but in this case they were right.

As far as dragging of feet. Obama always does that.

That Tyrant should be hung but the worthless Tyrants in Congress are too busy making themselves rich by stealing all American wealth.

America is dead and buried along with the American Dream.

If she was that much of a threat why did they let her drive away after they had her surrounded? They could have shot out the tires if they were worried about her hurting them or someone else. Instead they let her get back out on the road to drive some more. Watching her and the police following her going around the circle reminded me of a Benny Hill show. If she would have had an IED in the vehicle it would have been even worse because the police had her surrounded and let her GO!!

If she was such a threat to the police and society why let her drive away once they had her surrounded?
