Seriously though, is anyone surprised this has happened?
When someone said "fire them all," that's not what they meant.

until everything calms down and all the news agencies stop tripping over themselves all we can do is joke around.
unconfirmed reports = we made this shit up for something to say.
Hope the injured officer is OK.
Apparently woman driving car with kid inside.
Suspect is female. Backed into cop car, chase ensued, deadly force authorized.
Probably a furloughed worker who got pissed while trying to sign up for Obama Care and her EBT card funds ran low.
Saw video of Fire/Rescue cutting the B-pillar out of a cop car. Appears the injured officer was from the crash.
Starting to sound like all gunfire was from the po-po.

Given the number of illegal guns and gangstas in DC, I'd bet a much larger number know the smell of gunpowder than you think. The real question is why they'd bother with firing shots at the Capitol.

I think it's become pretty clear that no one shot at the Capitol.

They really should look into limiting the size of gas tanks on cars. Because if you're in a high speed chase with them, a smaller gas tank means they'll have to pull into a gas station to refuel more often, and then you can take them out.
You might say "yeah, but have you seen how fast they can refuel a car during a car race? The size of the tank makes no difference." I would respond to that by saying you're a racist.
Confirmed the driver is dead.

All the gunfire was from the cops. Inured officer ran his car into a barricade.
Baby/toddler in the back seat was uninjured. Very strange a mom straps her kid into a car seat in the back seat and then goes on a rampage...
Sadly this may be an accurate statement "Suspect is female. Backed into cop car, chase ensued, deadly force authorized."
Confirmed the driver is dead.

http://gma.yahoo.com/miriam-carey-capitol-suspect-suffered-post-partum-depression-054038221--abc-news-topstories.html
Question is
1- WHY SO LONG, IN BOTH CASES??
like the navy shooting pictures AND DESCRIPTION posted approximately 10 + hours after the incident. I understand NOTIFYING NEXT OF KIN. However In every other incident AS soon as the body or "ALLEGED SUSPECTS" Where apprehended, pictures and other info, as it came in, no matter how wrong it was, was splashed across the screen.
2- ONCE AGAIN MENTAL ILLNESS THE CULPRIT. LETS BAN GUNS, would have been the cry IF a firearm was found in the car.
3 - Why the sudden toning down of SHOTS FIRED. AFTER is has been discovered the only SHOTS FIRED were by LE ?
4 - How long before the MEDIA spins this as a RACIST event?
To close out my post I bring up these questions because what happened
DISCLAIMER : THIS POST DOES NOT IN ANY WAY REFLECT THE OPINION [s] OF THE MODERATORS, OWNER, OTHER BOARD MEMBERS
IMHO : DUE TO SKIN COLOR, The issue of mental illness AND like the Navy yard, guns will be back burnered. It doesn't generate the kind of OUTRAGE had the perps been of lighter skin, TEA PARTY , NRA members OR a registered Republican. EVEN better a "White" Church or Militia member with a SPLC High Hate Rating.
I'm sure one of our culturally sensitive members will be along soon to roll their eyes.
Looks like women need to be banned from driving. That would make us all safer.
Might as well make it a sexist thread too![LOL]

Number 1, I think your wrong about the description thing. To be honest I'm not sure what your even talking about. The the news had pics of the Navy Yard shooter up almost immediately. They also had almost his entire life history up in the next 24 hours. This whole DC thing yesterday was a little diferent in the fact that she just appeared to be nuts. They may not of had any pics of her other than her bullet ridden corpse for a while. What's the incentive on not breaking the story left or right ? Do you honestly think that the media conceals one race over another? Of course you do. Funny, you'll let go a million passive aggressive swipes on other folks and now your the one getting all sensitive.

Its yesterdays new now, she was black and had no gun. Obama won't be At the funerals, their is no money to be made its over. If she was white or had a gun it would be headlines for months that "white tea party extremist attempts to storm Capitol." Where is the headline for "black depressed woman goes crazy in street"?
They will blame it on the shut-down somehow.

24 hrs and where did that story go? Compared to Aurora, or Connecticut. The navy yard wasn't even a blip of news. Hell that Glee actor Corey Monteith? is still getting press, how long after he overdosed. The media and those anti -gun folks sure went "dark" 24 hrs later. Where's the Democratic , Bloomberg, VPC OUTRAGE ? There isn't or will be any. You do the math. Mr. Sensitivity.
I don't THINK, I KNOW, been back east where more than one voilent crime was committed. Not Once did the description other than Male, late teen to early 20"s mention color.

well fuk it then. I caught a blurb coming out of PT off CNN with wolf sniffer. he was discussing how the DCPD over reacted, asking if gun play was needed to stop the car. [Bang]
I don not believe a single Metropolitan officer was present during yesterday's chase and shooting. US Secret Service Uniformed Division, US Capitol Police, and I believe one US Park Police unit was involved in the chase. Park Police supplied the medivac for the injured Capitol Police officer, who was injured when he collided with a barrier. Metropolitan (otherwise referred to as MPDC) is the city police department, and while they are involved in the investigation, Capitol, Secret Service, and FBI crime scene investigators have processed the crime scenes.
I remember when the Secret Service first established the checkpoint at 15th and E street NW. It was done at the same time Pennsylvania Ave was shut down on the north side of the White House, between 15th and 17th. It really made traffic through that section of the city terrible. Most east/west traffic is forced to use H street to the north of Lafayette Park or Constitution on the south side of the Ellipse. It's just better to avoid the area at rush hour. When tourists asked me where they could park, I would just tell them to drive back to Maryland or Virginia and take the Metro.
Even though DC is laid out in grid, there are many diagonals (major roads if you are trying to get anywhere) and most go through or involve transiting circles. These are not like Colorado traffic circles. DuPont Circle has an inner ring (for through traffic) and outer ring for local traffic. In traffic, it can take ten minutes or more to get through some of these circles.
If this woman was anxious for any reason before she got to DC...driving around DC without any knowledge of where she was or where she was going, multiplied by the numerous checkpoints and closed roads, then confronted by a bunch of guys with guns... I can see how easily she lost it and the flight instinct kicked in. She apparently hit several officers. She probably focused in on getting away and never heard the commands to stop or get out of the car. I don't know what her medical, emotional, or mental status was yesterday, but like so many situations, a chain of bad choices can sometimes result in fatalities. Sadly, I don't think we will see the end of these types of incidents. Growing up in the DC area, I can recall at least two similar incidents, like we have observed recently, every year in DC.
Be safe.
