She was driving east on Constitution at speeds up to 80 miles an hour. It is a very busy street with tourists crossing all the time. If she started near the White House, she had to go right by the Monument. That seems a little threatening to me. And as far as headed towards the tens of thousands in the office buildings, how were the police to know that she didn’t have an explosive device in her car? Her behavior was erratic in the extreme. All in all, I still give the police the benefit of the doubt until I hear the entire story, and not jump to the conclusion that they all are trigger-happy morons.

Do I also get to shoot speeders and people driving erratically, or will I get charged with murder? Yep, murder. Yet, at the time she was killed, the car was not speeding nor charging toward tourists, so what was your point again? With 50-60 rounds, which is what the police fired, I can easily disable a car so it won't go anywhere, yet these cops went for the kill. Why? If you saw a black woman in a car with an infant bashing a gate, would your first reaction be, "OMG I have to kill that woman right now!"? I hope not. So why is it OK that the police acted in that manner?

As I stated before, they did nothing but euthanize a person with mental illness, who had done nothing more serious than cause some minor property damage.
