It sounds like our police state thugs are attempting to spin this story so they don’t come across as incompetent boobs who murdered a black woman for driving recklessly.
When did Post Partum Depression become a mental illness? Don’t millions of woman get this every year? I guess we should ban all women who have recently had a baby from driving cars.
We were told that the car rammed the front gate at the White House. Sorry. The video shows no ramming of anything. Her front end is not damaged in any way.
We were told the perpetrator had a gun and was shooting. Sorry. Another MSM bullshit lie. The only people firing guns were the donut eaters.
We were told that a police officer was injured by the suspect. Sorry. Barney Fife ran into his own police barrier at 70 miles per hour and destroyed his police car.
Shooting a black, unarmed, depressed, female with a baby in the backseat really rallies the country around our police state thugs. What would we do without them?
Poor Chris Matthews. He had gotten that old tingle up his leg hoping it was a white middle aged male Tea Party terrorist, related to Ron Paul, with an AK-47 trying to take out the black guy in the White House.
Maybe next time Chris.
You can rest easy now. We are safe from depressed black female dental hygenist terrorists.
Miriam Carey, Capitol Suspect, Suffered Post-Partum Depression
The woman was believed to be Miriam Carey, 34, a dental hygienist from Stamford, Conn., authorities told the woman’s family, according to a family spokesman.
Police earlier said they were witholding the name of the driver of the car involved in the chase pending positive identification and notification of next of kin.
Authorities said the woman led police on a chase down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol after ramming a gate at the White House.
Authorities described Carey has having a “mental illness.”
“She had post-partum depression after having the baby” last August, said the woman’s mother, Idella Carey.
She added, “A few months later, she got sick. She was depressed. … She was hospitalized.”
Carey had a 1-year-old daughter named Erica, her mother said. Police confirmed that a 1-year-old girl was taken from the car and put in “protective custody.”

Idella Carey said her daughter had “no history of violence” and she did not know why she was in Washington, D.C. She said she believed Carey was taking the little girl to a doctor’s appointment today in Connecticut.
Dr. Steven Oken, her boss of eight years, described Carey as a “non-political person” who was “always happy.”
“I would never in a million years believe that she would do something like this,” he said. “It’s the furthest thing from anything I would think she would do, especially with her child in the car. I am floored that it would be her.”
A neighbor, Erin Jackson, said she believed Carey lived in the Stamford home with the baby and the girl’s father. Asked if she believed Carey suffered from a mental illness, Jackson said “absolutely.”
Jackson recognized the black Infinity sedan seen on television from the incident as resembling Carey’s car. She said the woman’s tires recently were slashed in an incident in Connecticut.
Police, including FBI and bomb disposal units, surrounded a home in Stamford Thursday evening that authorities say is linked to the investigation, but won’t give specifics. Police there said they were awaiting a search warrant from Washington, though 50 people from the apartment building already were being evacuated for the night.
Cops said Carey eluded police after they stopped her car and drew their guns. When she continued to flee, she drove “very erratically, very dangerously,” said Senate Sergeant at Arms Terrance Gainer.
She ultimately rammed a police car and was shot by police without exiting the car, Gainer said. Two officers, one from the Capitol Police and one from Secret Service, were injured in the incident.
No weapons were found in the car, police said.
