It seems like you guys are the ones making it about race. Freakin' look at yourselves.

Its quite stunning.

It's almost like they relish the fact she was black and unarmed.

Out of control...

Danno started it.

Whats funny if this had turned out to be some CXracker-azz from GA........... the whole conversation would have been about his race and Obama's.

Left leaning white folks crack me up..... they want so hard for race to disappear.... when it suits them.

Danno started it.

Yeah, I take the credit or blame.

With him is race first and then throw in a couple race comments followed by the political angle and then of course Obama.

I'm wondering how the story started out as a person shooting at the capitol building and ended up being a woman unarmed shot to death. Her color is irrelevant.

I'd like to know why she was shot? It sounds sketchy if you ask me.

The first reports were of shots fired in the vicinity of the Capitol Building.

As I understand it, the deceased drove her car into a gate in the Capitol campus. When the police attempted to apprehend her, she tried fleeing the scene. After a chase, the police ended the situation by firing into the car, killing the driver. Bear in mind that information is coming to light all the time and our understanding of the whole incident may develop further over time.

Given the location and her apparent actions, the police appear to have been given little choice.

Announcement!

Nervous White folk, relax, no one think her race means much in this case.

I know you feel it is your duty to defend all things Black but trust me, Black folk don't need your help, in fact you might be embarrassing sometimes.

I simply pointed it out as a little fun with Marvin because he is aways noting the incidents of Blacks getting shot while unarmed.

I have my finger on the pulse when these stories break and I am usually right, I suspect this lady got off her meds or just cracked.

What sane person does something like that with their kid in tow?

Of course it's sketchy. Because there was also an officer shot. By who if she was unarmed? They were trying to imply it was by her at first.

They actually shot at her and she sped away and later they shot again or she went down from the first volley (According to the clip I saw).

Not quite. It started at a gate at the White House.

Little choice? Tell me this if she was on the White House lawn running over Obama's barbecue pit and Michelle's yoga mats.

an officer wasn't shot.

An officer was damaged inside of his vehicle, when Ms. Carey slammed her car into his car.

It's a race war 24x7 in your head isn't it?

That thought is kind of satisfying in a way. lol

Well, I heard the officer was hurt when he ran into one of those automatic barriers they have in the capitol. So that may not be accurate.

Yeah...I need to hear more details before I believe she had bullet proof tires.

Thinking broadly and dealing with the unknowns at the time, it was very possible she had her truck full of explosives.

THese folks are highly trained and they are not making it up as they go along, these scenarios are all worked out in training and the steps to take should it happen.

So shoot a firearm at the explosives? Brilliant move.

Please tell us you're not in law enforcement.
