A 34-year-old black woman, Miriam Carey, with a 2-year-old baby girl, an unemployed dental hygenist of Somali descent from Stamford Connecticut, who had been hospitalized for depression, had some words with a Secret Service agent at the Treasury entrance. Who knows what she was doing there. She may have who mouthed off to the cops, or perhaps her adult passenger (where is he now?) did. Some say she tried to go through the security barrier, but I see no evidence of that on the front of her car.
Anyway, somewhere near 15th and Pennsylvania, 6+ cops surrounded her car with guns drawn, about 6 feet away. I figure the cops started yelling at the woman. They're already freaked out and hopped up because of the Capital Shield 2014 drill that's going on. The woman maybe yelled incomprehensible things back at the cops. Typical auditory exclusion, no communication.
About then, some idiot Secret Service agent that had his booger hook on the bang switch had a negligent discharge and shot her, a sympathetic nerve reaction. She freaked out, backed up and maybe T-boned a Capitol Police Car. Or maybe this is when she hit the barricade, causing them to believe she was a gate-crasher.
The woman bugging out made the cops go nuts, like hornets out of a nest. The cops start shooting at the fleeing car, with complete disregard for what's behind it, or who is in it. One of the moron cops hit a "pop-up" stanchion barrier near First Street and Independence Avenue, upending his car, and freaking the other cops out even more. There may have been another stop here, as some outlets are reporting two 'crime scenes' (though we don't know that she wasn't just an innocent victim of government violence).
Meanwhile, the woman shoved it into Drive and bolted, as the Keystone Cops followed like maniacs, around and around the traffic circle, and then they maneuvered her into the Barrycades, and then gunned her down in cold blood.
Nice work, Capitol Police and Secret Service. What a tragedy.
Pretty hard to blame that on the TEA Party.
Nice work. Perhaps the other male passenger was the baby’s father? There has been no reports on him.
Blog humping are we?
