U.S. Government shuts down.

Meanwhile, the police shot and killed an unarmed women that was fleeing from them after she ran into a guard rail near the Capitol Building.

The reporting I have heard suggests she tried to ram down one of the gates with her car. She tried in various times and places to bypass the security fences, and led police on a high speed chase, before trying to flee on foot. That's when she was shot.

That doesn't sound like "ran into a guard rail." The video does not seem to suggest that this was some kind of random accident where security massively overreacted.

Which, if I am understanding correctly, makes your editorializing more than a little specious. "Peasants" visit the "palace" every day, and they get guided tours. They just don't usually try to ram the gates down then flee the cops.
