[11th Commandment]

Tensions were high because she was using her car as a weapon, but I do question the use of deadly force. If this would have occurred outside Washington DC (White House and Capital) there would be criticism of police force. NOT to mention the lady was African American so one can image the race card. I guess when the King and his Lords are threatened, the state run press does not question the police.

I tend to be a hardcore libertarian and I question the use of force. I do agree that she did use her car as a weapon so I would have to ask the police if they tried other measures first or they just shot here. Like you, I wonder where Al Sharpton is on this one, same with Jessie Jackson, I think even they would have some grounds of legitimacy here, not the race issue but the possibility of excessive force. Yet, they are silent.

If this had happened outside Washington DC, Barack Obama would said: “The police acted stupidly”.

That is true, a car can be used as a weapon, which includes bombs.
