Today, all the police officers and law enforcement officials that are talking about the shooting on Capital Hill recently, are reciting the same speech to the public.  They stated that the U.S. Capital Police officers and members of the Secret Service Division— which were involved in the shooting of Miriam Carey, had the right to do so and was well within policy guidelines. They reiterated that Ms. Carey, disobeyed their direct orders to stop her car.  Thus, it gave them the right to use deadly force against her. But, the out pouring and out-cry  by some, reek that the shooting was not justified.

 

Thus far,   no one knows what was in Ms. Carey’s (the mother’s) head via playing on her mind.  We have no clue what she was going through; who or what set her off, more so even if something horrible was said to her.  All we know is that she set in motion a cause that ended her life fatally.  What we know for sure is this (she may or may not have been mental–delusional–which can be a state of brief time a nightmare or so).  If a black woman make a trip anywhere in a distraught fashion, she was either provoked, hurt to the core or some other infliction set on her— especially, if she have  a child or her children, along for the trip intentionally knowing the out come good or bad,  (unless she was not a suicide mission).  This simple means that it was done in a hurried fashion and she was not even thinking.

 

No member of Congress inside or outside of the Capital was in any immediate danger. And we all saw the tape of what Ms. Carey did from what she did not do. Excessive  force was the outcry thereafter, because this mother  was in fact gun down in a hail of bullets, 26 was the official count.

 

My first question was: did the police officers saw her daughter in the car? The official note was that she was reckless and used her car as a weapon but, who did she used her car against. She was trying to get away from them and of course she was surrounded by the police; at which point she hit one of the officers, who along with others must have been trying to –say get out of the car. The problem is —did she actually hear any of them or was she too focus on whatever was playing out in her head.

 

In hindsight and carefully speaking—when the officers saw that she have a child in the car and that she did not come out of the car—-shouldn’t they have known that something was definitely wrong with this person and treaded the incident like they would have done or treated an hostage situation– to calm her down, thus allowing her to come out of the car uninjured–making them surmount. They could have even blown out one of her car tire which would have made her stop indefinitely.

 

Mirian Carey’s  death has sparked not only an outcry but brought out voices that one don’t normally hear. Her death weights heavily on our community and myself, because I know that she did not have to die and I don’t believe that she went to Washington intended to die.  She probably went to make someone listen and understand or explain what was going on with her but not to die, this I feel.  I kept thinking what would have happen if any of the bullets leveled at her  had hit her daughter.   Why did these officers have to shoot at her so many times in front of her one-year old child;  it is hard to think about.  We in this mighty nation of ours do not ever want a repeat of this magnitude again when a child is involved, never again.
