Connecticut woman Miriam Carey suffered 'postpartum depression' after having baby before crashing White House gate, mom says
Relatives converged in Bushwick to try to make sense of the events that unfolded in Washington, where the 34-year-old dental hygienist and former Brooklyn resident led police on a pursuit toward the Capitol after trying to ram the White House gates. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Tex.), who said he was briefed by Homeland Security, said she did not appear armed. 'There was no return fire,' he said.
Two police officers were injured trying to stop Miriam Carey, but the year-old baby girl she took along on her death ride somehow survived, police said.
Carey, a 34-year-old dental hygienist from Stamford who grew up in Brooklyn, seemed to suffer from mental illness since giving birth to her daughter last August, her mother said.
Investigators in the hours after the bizarre chase were baffled about why Carey went on a tear.
“I’m pretty confident this was not an accident,” said Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier.
But they also don’t think she was part of any terror cell.
“This appears to be an isolated incident,” said Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine. “There is no nexus to terrorism.”
The drama began around 2:20 p.m., officials said, after Carey — driving a black Infiniti — sped into the driveway leading to the White House and tried to breach security at 15th St. and Pennsylvania Ave. NW, officials said.
Thwarted by the concrete barriers and confronted by cops with their guns drawn, Carey spun the car around and hit the gas — knocking a Secret Service agent over the hood of the car as she sped away.
With Capitol Police and Secret Service agents in hot pursuit, Carey sped 12 blocks toward the Capitol, chased at speeds of up to 80 mph at some points.
At Garfield Circle, she raced through her first hail of bullets. At Constitution Ave. and Second St., she collided with a Capitol Police car and then barreled into some barricades outside the Hart Senate Office building.
Cornered, Carey was cut down by gunfire, officials said.
“The car was trying to get away,” witness Matthew Coursen said. “But it was going over the median and over the curb. The car got boxed in and that’s when I saw an officer of some kind draw his weapon and fire shots into the car.”
In Connecticut, police evacuated about 50 residents from Carey’s condominium building, Woodside Green,late Thursday afternoon as they waited for a search warrant to make sure it was safe to enter. Arrangements were made with help from the Red Cross to relocate residents for the night, said Stamford Police Chief Jon Fontneau.
And in Bushwick, Brooklyn, some of Carey’s relatives huddled with a minister and refused to speak with reporters. Carey had four sisters, one of whom was a veteran NYPD cop. Valarie Carey was a sergeant when she left the force after about 12 years in 2006.
“She had postpartum depression after having the baby,” Carey’s mother, Idella Carey, told ABC News from her East New York home. “A few months later, she got sick. She was depressed. She was hospitalized.”
But friends, neighbors and associates couldn’t comprehend how the fun-loving person they knew was suddenly dead and the subject of a joint investigation by the FBI, the Secret Service, Connecticut State Police, Stamford police bomb team and the State of Connecticut.
“She seemed like a nice young lady, stable,” said Brooklyn neighbor Jeff Newsome, 46, who recalled seeing Carey with a boyfriend whom he described as a “heavy-set guy in his 40s.”
“I’m shocked,” Newsome said. “I would have never, never have thought that she would do something like this. I can’t believe it.”
Angela Windley, one of Carey’s close friends and classmates at Clara Barton High School and Hostos Community College in the Bronx, said she was “floored and sad” her confidante, who hosted her baby shower in 2004, was the same woman behind the wheel of the black Infiniti they used to ride to parties in, she said.
“She was just a very sweet person, very determined and driven in order to get out of the neighborhood and do better for herself,” Windley told the Daily News. “She wasn’t violent or anything like that.”
“I looked up to her a little bit,” the 33-year-old hygienist continued. “She was kind of like a big sister.”
But the two friends lost touch about two years ago, when Windley sent a Facebook message congratulating Carey on her pregnancy. Carey never wrote back, she said.
“I never got any response from her or anything,” said Windley. “I didn’t really think much of it.”
Carey’s former boss, Dr. Brian Evans, told The News that she “fell down some stairs and she had a pretty significant head injury” toward the end of the nearly two years she worked for him.
It was while Carey was in the hospital that she discovered she was pregnant and “she seemed happy,” Evans said.
When they let Carey go last year, “it was nothing related to any mental problems that we were in tune to,” he said. But Evans added that Carey had a temper, and he recalled how she became incensed when he asked her to quit parking in a handicapped spot at the medical building.
“She got very angry with that, so that started some friction. And then from there she was never insubordinate per se, or anything like that, but she tended to go against the grain a bit,” said Evans, whose practice is in Hamden, Conn.
On her Facebook page, Carey complained about “wack” men.
“I need to start doing referrence and back ground checks on men lol its 2010 and the BS is getting tired. For all the wack men out here handing out fake resumes to chicks we are going to find out that you are wack so stop wasting our time!!!!! Be true to the game and be true to your self,” she wrote.
Carey’s toddler was taken into protective custody after the wild ride, Dine said.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Tex.), who said he was briefed by Homeland Security, told the Associated Press it didn’t appear she was armed. “There was no return fire,” he said.
The chaos erupted as the Capitol was in the grip of a government shutdown and as the House was in the midst of a heated debate over how to end the impasse. And when the shooting started, panic set in.
“Shelter in place,” police officers responding to the crisis barked out at the startled politicians and their staffers.
Buzzers began blaring and corridors filled with police officers with guns drawn.
The House immediately went into recess. Lawmakers and staffers scurried into their offices, closed the curtains, and locked themselves inside.
“It was pretty nerve-wracking, also because it had already been a pretty stressful week for everyone,” said Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens).
Several senators heading toward the Capitol were told by worried officers to get down and they quickly complied. But Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) pulled rank to get back to the Capitol via an underground tunnel that connects it to the Senate office buildings.
“Let me past, I am going through,” Issa said.
Minutes later, a federal Parks police helicopter appeared and landed on the Mall in front of the building and quickly evacuated an injured officer.
“He’s going to be fine,” Dine said of the Capitol Police officer, a 23-year-old veteran of the force.
The other injured cop was the Secret Service officer, who also was not badly hurt, officials said.
The FBI was investigating, but the motive for the madness was not yet known.
Witness Peter Plocki, a furloughed federal lawyer from Silver Spring, Md., said he was in town for a tour of the Supreme Court and was eating lunch in front of the Botanical Gardens southeast of the Capitol when he heard four or five gunshots.
“Then I saw a car tear away from the traffic circle area followed by three police cars or so that had arrived there a few seconds before,” he said. “The car goes screaming past the fountain followed by the police car shortly after the shots were fired.”
President Obama was not in Washington when the shooting started but received several briefings on the unfolding situation during the day.
The lockdown on the Capitol was lifted at 3 p.m. and a half-hour later legislators resumed squabbling over defunding Obamacare and taking partisan potshots at each other.
The Capitol Hill cops who risked their lives chasing the woman are deemed “essential workers,” but they are currently working without pay.

Congress Gives Standing Ovation to DC Cops For Executing Unarmed Mother
Police acted “heroically” in gunning down frightened woman with baby
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
October 4, 2013
A video shows members of Congress giving a standing ovation to Capitol police for executing an unarmed mother with a baby who was brutally gunned down after driving erratically at a checkpoint near the White House.
The clip features House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland expressing gratitude to the police. His words are followed by over a minute of applause from Representatives. Rep. Eric Cantor then remarks that lawmakers “really appreciate” the DC cops for their actions.
Essentially, lawmakers were expressing gratitude for the cops protecting them from the deadly threat posed by 34-year-old Connecticut resident Miriam Carey, a dental hygienist who the media is now trying to demonize as mentally unstable yet whose boss Dr. Brian Evans said was a “happy” and “stable” individual. Friends described her as “friendly and dedicated.” Her former boss Dr Steven Oken said she was “always happy,” while neighbors said Carey was “a nice young lady, stable.”
As the mainstream media portrayed the incident as some kind of dramatic gun battle and car chase involving a deadly terrorist who had attempted to attack the White House, the truth began to emerge. Carey’s worst crime appears to have been driving erratically and freaking out at a checkpoint when police aimed guns at her head.
Contrary to initial media reports that Carey had somehow tried to breach sensitive White House property, the checkpoint was a temporary “outer perimeter” fence, making it quite possible that Carey was confused and frightened as to why she was being stopped in the first place. The temporary checkpoint may have been part of a drill that was running simultaneously.
Perhaps cognizant of the fact that cops routinely shoot unarmed innocent people for no reason whatsoever, Carey panicked and tried to escape.
After a brief chase, Capitol police and Secret Service agents unloaded at least 15 rounds into Carey’s vehicle despite the fact that her 18-month-old child was sitting in the back seat. CNN praised the cops for showing such patience by waiting for 12 seconds before they executed a defenseless Carey. D.C. Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said the police acted “heroically” in slaughtering the unarmed woman.
“Why was lethal force authorized to begin with?” asks Reno Berkeley. “All they had to do was use tire spikes, or shoot out her tires. Instead, according to a New York Daily News article, she drove through a hail of bullets, and then crashed into a cruiser, and was then again surrounded and bombarded with another rain of bullets. No gun was found in Carey’s car. No motive so far is evident. The 34-year-old mother could have been having a bad day and made the wrong decision that led to her death. So, why are police so intent on painting her as a woman with mental health issues if everyone that knew her seems to say the exact opposite?”
Another video also shows that the police car crash which resulted in the injury of an officer was entirely self-inflicted – the cop crashed into one of the same barricades that Carey was executed for breaching. A Secret Service agent received minor injuries as a result of Carey’s erratic driving.
The sickening reaction to the tragic death of Miriam Carey again reminds us that the establishment loves to celebrate and justify the slaughter of Americans who apparently deserve to be executed instantly for daring to disobey the orders of anyone in a uniform.

What a freak'n idiot...The DC Cops overreacted and murdered a post partum depressed lady.The clip features House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland expressing gratitude to the police. His words are followed by over a minute of applause from Representatives. Rep. Eric Cantor then remarks that lawmakers “really appreciate” the DC cops for their actions
Reality is they locked down DC, and their actions were they shot to death an unarmed sick mother in front of her child.

Why?Because they weren't trained to respond that way.
Why weren't they trained?Because there is not enough money in the budget to train law enforcement officers.
Why isn't there money?...I could go onComment

Yeah, come on. Please, go on. I need a good laugh today. Let's see how much you really know.Originally posted by Peasie View Post
As professional firefighter, I work along side the police everyday. I can tell you since 9/11, that training for police and firefighters is much more intense.
Paranoia, a sign of the times.These guys simply over reacted, or in DC they may have been told to shoot and kill in these situations, and sort it all out later. Remember, it's DC, we MUST PROTECT THE RULING ELITE AT ALL COST....Also, Naval yard a few weeks ago?Comment

I wonder what, it anything was being done about her mental illness. Historically, the black community tends to ignore and/or deny mental illness. And even when it is acknowledged, the need to take meds and get appropriate care is not seen as important.7/5th of all people do not understand fractions.Comment
