We can not protect that which we can not identify.

The Miriam Carey case should be drawing a lot more attention than it is. We are on a very slippery slope and by paying attention NOW, and looking to what has happened in the recent past we must decide together what fairness and justice are. When we as a people know what it is we can ensure it for one another. We can not protect that which we can not identify. The Carey case involves a young woman who was unarmed for whatever reason reacting in an unstable manner when approached by capitol police who then shot her to death in front of her infant daughter. The marksman were given commendations or something and the young woman's body was laid to rest. The Carey family and certain legal minds have come together to bring the Department of Justice into the picture to decide if the young dead woman's civil rights were violated and that factored into her death.  It all sounds mumbo jumbo in legal terms and there is a whole 'Palestianian conflict' regarding whats right and who is wrong making it easy to turn a blind eye. Her sister, a former NYC Police Sgt, states: While being accused of "ramming" a White House gate, the 2010 black Infiniti car Miriam Carey drove did NOT have front end damage nor did the airbags deploy.  The most my sister may have been guilty of was a traffic infraction which is NOT justification for killing her.

We do need to be careful as a community in over looking how this woman represents us as a whole. Put aside the convoluted conspiracy theories and fear of government Marshall law and look at the reality of the matter. The civil right in question is " ensuring of peoples' physical and mental integrity". 

From what we have seen so far, teachers are forcing the medical community, and the legal community into our homes by allowing them the freedom of labeling our children and putting them on Ritalin and psychiatric drugs at earlier and earlier ages. (18.7% in Kentucky alone) Parents of dying children are forced to mortgage their homes, lives and futures of their other offspring for often times a few months of costly treatment done in vain or experimentally. Children's home-made lunches are taken from them and their diets disrupted with processed chicken nuggets and Ritz crackers. The point is, as history is showing us, our right to choose abortion is the ONLY right anyone is fighting FOR. It is ridiculous. 

Can you imagine your timid wife being ordered to take Prozac because the cop didn't want to deal with her emotions over getting a ticket in the first place? How about rigid veteran Dad , and gets an anal probe from a cop on I-90 because he walked funny. 

We need to be watching this case, because if the Carey's win we could all loose rights. We could be forced to take medication (covered under the new Obama health care) because a cop said to. Under the health care plan each State will have employees who are paid to go to your house and make sure you are taking said medication. 

If you have not read THE GIVER you need to go get it.
