So apparently some crazy lady tried to charge the White House and later Capitol Hill in a sedan, with her 1-year old on the back seat.

Just absolute stand up driving by the police there!
Reports have come in that an officer was injured during the chase. Of course, they forget to mention that the cop in question was no where near the chase, when he rammed a security barrier as it was rising out of the ground.

Looks like the police in Washington DC are just about as effective as the politicians.

"Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier told reporters that officers later shot and killed the woman on a nearby street.
There was no sign that the woman had been armed."

There's going to be a shitstorm over this, unless they make up something good.

Trying to charge the Whitehouse = probably being shot dead. I don't think there will be a problem with that in America.

Was expecting a lot more crazy shit to go on over there after the Federal Government 'shut down'. There's some amount of gun-toting lunatics in America.

I don't understand why the didn't just shoot the tyres out whilst they had her surrounded. Instead opted to just kill her

Sounds like you are trying to use logical thinking there!

For some reason I can't stop humming the Benny Hill theme after watching that chase video.

Video shows she hardly tried to charge the WH, looks much more like she was guided in that general direction and then relatively gently drove into the barriers before driving off - hardly any damage shows on the front of the car...

Am I mistaken in thinking there was a video of a British cop doing this exact same thing in central London?
Might have been a few years ago...

Agreed, she rammed the bollard just as much as the police SUV did. Agreed with John though, don't think it'll need much justification

She endangered the life of a one year old child. Why are you trying to justify her actions?

Granted you can't justify the woman's actions with a kid in the back of the car. But it appears (could be wrong) from news articles, the one year-old was the daughter and i'm sure situation could have been handled differently that wouldn't have resulted in the kid losing her mother.
It certainly would have been in this country anyway.

We would put the mother up in a 5 star mental institution for life at the taxpayers expense.
Better off dead imo.

There doesn't seem to be any reason to shoot her at all, that can't be it on the liveleak video, that's not exactly "trying to get round a barricade"
But at the same time, why the fuck did she decide to drive off when they surrounded her?

Well it's being said she suffered from mental illness so why she did it and why she didn't stop when officers surrounded her car could be anyone's guess.
Although shooting her dead should have been their last resort, especially when it involves a kid.

Wouldn't mind that tbh. Go into work, make up bullshit stories whilst drinking brander coffee and fart around in the city. Sounds good..
Dom, you want me so much. I get it.

Video doesn't look like it's outside the White House tbh so think there was probably more than that shows
Looks more like the Capitol Building which was the end of the chase rather than the beginning from what've read
