BURLINGTON, Conn. (CBS Connecticut) A court date Friday for a Harwinton woman accused of trying to hit a police officer with her car Thursday in Burlington.
State police say 58-year-old Eileen Pierce tried to hit an officer directing traffic at a tree-trimming site on Route 69 allegedly driving her Subaru wagon directly at him, yelling out the window, and shaking her fist. The officer quickly got out of the way, and police say Pierce narrowly missed hitting a tree crew.
When Pierce was pulled over at the Burlington-Bristol line, troopers say she rambled for several minutes, saying she was upset with police and that officers are being murdered because they tend to abuse peoples rights noting she was angry that Donald Trump is president.
Pierce was arrested on charges of second-degree attempted assault with a motor vehicle, first-degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving, and failure to drive in the proper lane in a construction zone.
She was held overnight on $5,000 surety bond for arraignment in Bristol Superior Court.

The actual headline says “President” not “Protestor”?

These hysteric leftist have only violence left as a tool as Trump crushes their communist dreams.It my hope that we will crack down hard on this violence or it won’t stop. This woman assaulted and endangered the lives of public servants and should serve years in jail as an example.

my Millennial son was trying to discuss the EO 7 country issue with a friend the other day. I think he is finally understanding just how frustrating it is. As soon as he got through to them, they say something irrelevant, referring to gossipy thing. I told him to send them the EO and let them read it for themselves. But, it's really almost impossible to get through to these people.

Well, if well-written .. and not in journalistic "shorthand" .. the proper headline should be read as "Woman, upset [because] Trump [is] President, tried to hit [police] officer with [her] car".

Old liberals are dangerous.
You know the saying about when you are young you are liberal(not me)and if you are still a lib old, you are dangerous.
My rehash on that one but you have heard it.

She is lucky the officer did not deploy deadly force on her for this attack. This was attempted murder with a vehicle.
