Looks like some of them are still going with "rammed" a barrier, but the front end of that car doesn't look like it rammed anything.

There is vidio of that

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I read something that suggested post-partum depression.

I'm more than just a little confused why this turned into a shooting incident once her car was blocked between a barricade and a cop car  =(

Mah baby dint do nufin she was jus turnin her car around :'(
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Several new reports point to possible motives for what caused a Connecticut woman to lead police on a car chase that ended in her death on Thursday.

"Law enforcement sources" told NBC News that Miriam Carey, 34, may have thought President Barack Obama was stalking her.

The sources also said Carey had a history of mental health issues. A law enforcement source told CNN that authorities found drugs at Carey's home used to treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders.

Couldn't she have just applied for a restraining order?  That way we might have been able to see his birth certificate - needed to prove which BHO it was that was stalking her.

She also quit her job over a disagreement with her employer about access to a handicapped parking spot.  I'm just not sure how not being able to walk 200 feet without stopping to rest or needing http://www.dmv.virginia.gov/webdoc/pdf/med10.pdf is related to post-partum depression, but would be interested in finding out.  Just let me first get my 32-oz slurpee and  [popcorn].

Me too.  She didn't have a gun, I doubt she had any other type of weapon.  Non-lethal force would have been preferable, regardless of how angry, scared, adrenaline-fueled, etc. the officers might have been.

Which video?  All that I've seen was a lot of aftermath, and one of her backing into a cop car after the incident was well underway.

If an Infiniti can "ram" anything and come away looking that good, I want three.

That's where the Infinity rammed the Secret Service agent.  Lot of crumple for hitting someone on the leg.

Crazy is the fall back narrative when it can't be linked to 'angry racist TEA party shooter.'

I think the link below has at least as much truth to as the shinola being fed to us by the media:

http://zerogov.com/?p=3050

"That woman is not dead because anyone was in danger, she is dead because she allegedly endangered the men chasing her. Think about that for an hour. Police start and foment aggression for a living and the “War on Terror” has allowed them to become the rather overweight dominatrices they have always strived to be. Much like Stalin’s Russia and Hitler’s Germany, police behavior is the singular connective tissue that animates and gives life to tyranny."

I think the word he's looking for is "striven." And "dominators," unless "dominatrices" was supposed to be extra insulty.

BZZZ!  Wrong!  "strived" is correct.

Your sheltered life has kept from you knowlege of the plural form of ladies in rubber with whips in their hands.  They are the "D" part od BDSM, and often also the "S" as well.

You could try Craigs List to find some in your town.

Or maybe she was just a bad driver.

I kind of wondered about that.  Apparently the whole thing started when a guard closed a gate in front of her.  There are a bunch of different variations of "closed a gate", but one of the possibilities is of somebody who is lost instead of trying to crash through.  Add that to the fact that she drove over 360 degrees around a traffic circle and it seems that being a competent driver wasn't part of her master plan.
