Speeding pickup mows down officers on D.C. street

DML:

Two Washington, D.C. bicycle patrol police officers and one Department of Transportation traffic control employee were injured Thursday night when a white pickup truck traveling at a high rate of speed plowed right into them.

The pickup truck then continued on through the intersection and crashed into a large dump truck parked beside the road.

The incident occurred about 9:00 pm local time, in the Adams Morgan area of Northwest D.C.

In a news conference Thursday night, D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham reported that one of the officers is in “extremely critical condition.” The other officer and the traffic control officer are also injured, but their injuries are not considered life-threatening.

Both suspects in the pickup truck were placed under arrest, and a weapon was recovered from the vehicle. Chief Newsham said the suspects are being questioned, but their identities were not yet released.

When asked, he would not rule out terrorism, saying, “We have to look at that very closely. We do not have a motive at this time.”  more here

  1. Mohammed and Mukmoods names are being withheld until the story dies down so that bigoted white americans won’t get a negative impression of the peaceful Muslims.

  2. Off topic here, but worth reading and sharing:

    “I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against another mosque being built in Toronto. I think it should be the goal of every Canadian to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs. Thus the mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.”

    “That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque; thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, “The Turban Cowboy,” and the other, a topless bar, would be called “You Mecca Me Hot.”

    “Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called “Iraq of Ribs.”

    “Across the street there could be a lingerie store called “Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret,” with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods, and on the other side a liquor store called ” Morehammered.”

    “All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us.”

    Yes we should promote tolerance, and you can do your part by passing this on.

    And if you are not laughing or smiling at this point… it is either past your bedtime, or its midnight at the oasis and time to put your camel to bed.
