I haven't heard of anyone else being shot, just the driver. And a police officer was injured when she drove into him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently in New York, police shot and killed an unarmed person and wounded two bystanders. Something similar happened either early this year or last year.

That's the twitter from the NYT, trying to link the shooting to the shutdown. They didn't come out and say republicans, but we all know that every headline and story they have blames Republicans, so what better way to connect the two.

The article you linked said nothing of the sort. Maybe the Twitter account says it could be related? QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 3, 2013 -> 04:42 PM) Initial reports seemed to indicate that there was a shooter at the Capitol building, but it turns out only the police were armed. It is still a shooting either way. And when they call an Active Shooter situation, they may sometimes not be armed - it is done to arrange for a certain type of response. Just seems weird to say "it may not be a shooting, it is just a shooting". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 NBC Chicago Options for this story Investigators have found indications that the Connecticut woman shot to death by police after leading authorities on a high-speed chase from the White House to the Capitol thought President Barack Obama was stalking her, law enforcement sources told NBC News.

MEANS Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I just can't understand why the police couldn't stop her without resorting to shooting her...tire spikes/shoot the tires out...etc. They are lucky the kid wasn't killed as well.

How many does she have to run over before it's OK to shoot her? Yea...seriously. To the person that asked this question, become a police officer, then talk your calm game. If that's me, and a crazy f*** is ramming into gates, hitting people, and whatever else isn't being reported, and it's between him/her and me seeing my family again, f*** that, I'm shooting. I'm not even a police officer, and I'm getting real sick and tired of people armchair quarterbacking legit police decisions. Why couldn't have they have done, X, Y and Z...maybe it's because the people they deal with, are dealt with so YOU never have too deal with them. Sure, there are stories about police using excessive force, and unnecessary force, but those stories garner readers...the other 100,000 stores you never read, because they were never written, the force WAS necessary, and legitimate. This is the problem with modern media. They have most of you believing the US is an all out war zone...when it's safer now than it's E V E R been. TL;DR: Yea, it's the trigger happy police officers fault...not the crazy b**** that was convinced Obama was her stalker, who set off red alerts at the white house/capital building. Nope, not her fault. Edited October 4, 2013 by Y2HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm sensitive to the fact they thought she may have had a car bomb since she was trying to drive up to two different landmarks. I'm not sensitive to the fact that because police are in a life threatening job they are allowed to be bad at their jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say she's lucky that the kid wasn't killed as well, not the police. She was the one who put the kid in harm's way. She was the one acting crazy and trying to kill people with her car with a child passenger. Why doesn't she get the blame instead of the police officers who are trying to save numerous lives?

But she was only armed with a 1+ton weapon, instead...so this is obviously the fault of the 5-OH, b****! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
