Friends and former Brooklyn neighbors recalled Miriam Carey as a hardworking single mother who had every reason to live.
“She had everything going for her,” said Yolanda Napoleon, 40. “A beautiful baby, a man helping her with her baby, a job making 100k per year. Her child was her everything.”
Carey, 34, was a dental hygienist who was licensed in both New York and Connecticut. She lived in Brooklyn as recently as 2005 and had a condo in Stamford, Conn.
Friends, who grew up with her and her four sisters on Stanley Avenue in Brooklyn, were mystified about how Carey’s life came to end in a fiery confrontation with several police and Secret Service agents

I think you nailed it. And the SS guy was in plain clothes, giving her more justification for thinking she was in danger.
Very sad. She looks like a nice young woman. Strange. Im wondering if all the faux barrycades confused her. And she panicked.

“She had everything going for her. A beautiful baby, a man helping her with her baby, a job making 100k per year.”
Nice, accurate wording. I simply cannot imagine such a statement in the America I grew up in 50 years ago.
BTW, was the “man helping her with her baby”, Obama, or me through my taxes?
Enquiring minds, and all that.
Proof that Obamacare will kill you. /sarc, or maybe not.
It will take nothing less that repentance and revival if America is to survive. I believe that Obama is God's judgment on America for tolerating sodomy and worshiping false gods.
That doesn’t look like an “angry white gun-toting Tea Partier”! How is the media going to spin this in their favor???
If Obama had a 34 year-old daughter she would look like Miriam. Justice for Miriam!
Nice use of language, BTW!
Man, wouldn’t that be something.
The “Attacker”.???
Appears to be a young woman with a nice honest smile.
Do the cowboy cops have any Rules of Engagement (ROE)?
I hate to think how many American casualties are the result of very demanding ROE’s.
The government and their employees are never responsible for anything.

Stamford Connecticut is a very high cost of living city not all that far from Manhattan. I haven’t been there but I know people from that area and it is much like most of the most expensive urban areas. The report I read was she made 92k last year and I note that she did temporary hygienist work and placement services for others putting together clinics needing temp staff and hygienists looking for temp work.
Seemed like a hard working woman who either got terribly belligerent or panicked. If she had quit trying to bulldoze here way out, she might have lived, but having seen an incident like this in real time right in front of me, where a burglary perp was shot to death due to not stopping his car, I have some sympathy for the sworn officers — bad decisions by all.
The police should have helped her reach her goal
Median home price in Stamford is $505,000. Tony area. She could be making 100K a year as a hygienist I guess. Let’s see Obama and the media spin this story. You know it’s killing them that there’s no way to paint her as a Koch brothers-funded redneck teapartier.

Penalty for an unarmed woman with a child in the backseat panicking when surrounded by plainclothes men with guns? She got pumped full of lead by a bunch of yahoos who are now thumping their chests about it. Absolutely sickening.
And what do we keep seeing in the media? A mangled cop car wrecked indirectly by another out of control cop. The spin is well underway.
Except she was bonkers.
Maybe the diaper was loaded. Was it a high capacity diaper?
