Wrongful Death Lawsuit re Accused White House Gatecrasher, Miriam Carey

Miriam Carey

Should police have shot Miriam Carey, the accused White House gatecrasher? She was unarmed, and police removed her baby from the car first. This does not appear to have been a situation where police felt they were in imminent danger, to my idea. Let's discuss her family's wrongful death lawsuit against the government by The Sanders Firm, P.C. at 9pm Pacific today. Call (818)572.2947. Christopher Bonds is our special guest tonight. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/nnia1/2014/02/11/human-rights-for-prisoners-march

An important health care bill was introduced in December 2013 by Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA). It is called H.R.3717, "Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act." Among other provisions, H.R.3717 requires more police officers to be trained in crisis intervention methods that should enable lunacy arrests to occur without injuries and deaths. We will discuss the bill on the Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill Blogtalkradio shows on February 12 and February 19 at 9pm PST. More information about "Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act" is reported in "Dog Justice for Mentally Ill" blog at this url

Federal Tort Claim Notice

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW YORK, January 30, 2014 – Today, after months of “utter” silence by government officials as well as an exhaustive review of all publicly available data, the Carey Family has concluded the shooting of Miriam Iris Carey was “NOT JUSTIFIED” and has filed a federal administrative notice of claim to sue the United States of America; the United States Secret Service – Uniform Division and United States Capitol Police.

Valarie Carey, who is representing the interests of the Carey Family, filed a wrongful death claim against the two government agencies seeking $75 million dollars on behalf of The Estate of Miriam Iris Carey, Mother Idella Carey and minor child EF to compensate them for their great loss of a daughter, mother, friend and confidant.

“While the United States Department of Justice continues with its criminal and civil rights investigation, the Carey Family calls for immediate identification and termination of all police officers, supervisors, managers and other related employees involved in this matter who failed to order the immediate termination of pursuing Miriam and failed to establish firearms control; thereby, collectively causing the avoidable death of Miriam,” says Eric Sanders.

“Unless they are seriously considering criminal charges in Miriam’s case, quite frankly after several months, department policies relating to investigative car stops, vehicle pursuits, use of force, etc., should have been analyzed and applied to Miriam’s case for release to the public. These public disclosures are absolutely necessary because Miriam’s death unfolded right before the international community via live television,” says Sanders.

“The United States Congress using its legislative powers must investigate Miriam’s death. It is in the public’s interest to ensure our government acted responsibly not only from a criminal or a civil perspective but from an internal agency perspective. It is also in the public’s interest avoid a similar tragedy in the future,” says Valarie.

“The framers of the United States Constitution through the Bill of Rights ensured that our basic natural rights, codified as human rights, would forever be so important. Somehow, the Bill of Rights did not apply to Miriam. Miriam’s life did not seem to be so important. Thus far, Miriam’s death is being treated as simple ‘collateral damage’ in the government’s zeal to protect itself from ‘terrorism.’ We need to change that thought process because personal legacies are not more important than human life. The framers of the United States Constitution fought for, died for, and demanded it. We should expect no different in today’s society either,” says Sanders.

UPDATE: 

Perhaps because we planned to discuss the Miriam Carey execution, we experienced technical difficulties with our February 10 broadcast. The host, Mary Neal, was not allowed to dial the Blogtalkradio channel from her phone but was able to ascertain help getting on air by Rev. Floyd Harris. Christopher Bonds' Internet and phone service were disrupted several hours before the broadcast and remained unavailable until 30 minutes after the broadcast. Eric Sanders, attorney for the Carey family, was arrested on another matter by U.S. Marshals immediately after contracting to represent Carey's survivors against the United States in this wrongful death matter.

A December 2013 article on Carey's fatality that includes statements from attorney Eric Sanders and Miriam's sister as well as the police affidavit was published by WND:
"Why did Capitol cops cut down 'innocent' woman?"

Seeking Dog Justice for America's Mentally Ill  and Emotionally Disturbed People

Please refrain from describing Miriam as 'emotionally distributed.' There is no evidence to support that assertion. Nor is there any evidence to assert Miriam 'rammed' any gates.

Eric Sanders, see the statement in Techyville.com that was repeated in news articles and news videos throughout America at the time of Carey's death:

"Miriam Carey had been having delusions, believing that President Obama was stalking her. She then crashed into the gate at the White House and was shot and killed by police. Carey’s sisters say that the 34-year old dental hygienist has been suffering from postpartum depression and psychosis."

This is the story that was carried forward to the entire world by mainstream news as well as other sources. Many news articles about Miriam Carey and her death have been scrubbed from the Internet, but the Techyville article remains. I agree that her vehicle (in the videos) does not look like it had crashed any gate. We only have her family's and former employer's word (as relayed by media, which could be false) that she had health concerns.

Throughout America, police officers are criticized for shooting unarmed people in incidents that should have been handled without deadly force. Unfortunately, police involved in Carey's death were reportedly congratulated rather than reprimanded for their failure to apprehend the unarmed mother without harm:

“Based on preliminary findings, this was an isolated incident with no nexus to terrorism,” the Capitol Police said in a Thursday night statement. “The response to this incident was swift and our established security procedures worked. We would like to commend the men and women from the [Capitol Police] for their bravery.” http://blogs.rollcall.com/wgdb/suspect-shot-in-capitol-incident-injured-officer-airlifted/

I assure you that many people hope the Carey family is successful in proving this was a wrongful shooting, especially people like myself who have had relatives killed by police actions.
