And if you watch the whole thing she is telling her kid to fight the cops etc etc... And the cops are giving her every freaking chance in the World. Sovereign citizen idiots come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
"They will not kidnap me" "You will not steal my car" "Nobody has shown a delegation of authority"
No different than blue tarp man who was mocked and ridiculed-

terrible mother
I'm sorry she's dead but this display of contempt for police and encouraging her child to do the same
leads me to believe she was not quite right in the head

I'm not a fan of pathologizing behaviors -- and I admit this wouldn't be my first thought if she were white -- but she tested positive for lead poisoning as a child. Its effects across populations are proven; individuals make up populations, and this may be what it looks like at that level.
It's mentioned in a WaPo story.

If lead poisoning damaged her brain to the point she fired a shotgun at cops while holding her 5 yr old child on her lap, she was completely unfit to parent.

(44,576 posts)Her boyfriend also had one for far more serious offenses -- he immediately grabbed their younger child and surrendered. It was probably just fate that their addresses matched.

Sorry, but no freedom-fighting militant martyr role model points for her -- she's closer to a Lauryn Hill (who decided she didn't have to pay income taxes) than an Angela Davis.
