Just watched the video footage on CNN (Communist News Network) whilst eating my dinner. Had to wonder at the news commentator's remarks. The police shot at the vehicle as it fled and then shot at it again a second time as it was jockeying with police vehicles after going around that cement circle. The female driver was wounded, I don't know how bad, and there was a child in the car. The police did not know this, or so the commentator said. I just find it strange how the commentator(s) were saying how the police did a good job and the lady needed to be stopped, blah, blah, blah. And yet if this were on the streets of any small town USA or urban setting USA they would be saying EXCESSIVE FORCE and calling for an immediate internal investigation. No firearm was found in the driver's car, to my knowledge and the only thing that I know that she did was not to turn away at the barrier. I guess a higher value is assigned when police are operating on the streets of the nation's capital, as opposed to anywhere USA. Especially if they are federal police and are protecting federal bureaucrats. Not that I want to see police crucified anywhere, because I don't. Does anyone else notice this?
THANK YOU for expressing so perfectly the double-standards and contradictions which lie at the heart of the folly called Political Correctness --- and the idiocy of those who subscribe to it!

Considering it started when she rammed a security checkpoint, how could this happen just anywhere? It has to happen near a place with high security, so comparisons with anywhere, USA don't really apply. After she hit the barricade, she gunned it, getting up to 80mph, running lights and heading toward the Capital. IMO they had to take it seriously and consider it possible terrorism. Car bombs are very common in many areas of the world. Add the mass shooting just a week or so ago, I'm sure they are not going to take any chances.
Well, this one is going to present a problem for the "fo-gooders" out there; Is it more importent to "protect society", or to protect the "rights" of the mentally unstable???
One thing I can guarantee, however; the rights of the Politically Correct are going to be viewed as more important than the rights of those who dont "measure up".
Are there limits on mentally ill people having custody of children?
They said she had a serious fall in January 2012, and her mother said that is when the mental issues started, so don't know of she had a brain injury or not. I don't think she had a diagnosis like schizophrenia or anything. She was a working dental hygienist until August 2012. They think she developed post partum depression after her daughter was born. I am wondering if this wasn't some sort of suicide by cop.
Even if she did have a diagnosis, that in itself wouldn't warrant not being allowed to have your children. You lose your kids through evidence of being a danger to them, but I don't get the impression she showed any indication of being capable of something like this prior.
