She may have been unarmed, but there was a guy behind her dressed in black with what looked like an automatic rife with a top loading banana clip. She probably stepped in the way at this last moment. Watch the video as it pans past her. -
Since they bashed the dead officer with a fire extinguisher some of the injuries are probably more than that. The officer in the shooting has been placed on leave, as is procedure in any police department, pending investigation. Like the other person said cops are almost never charged with unjustified shootings. Show a jury the video footage and no one would convict. Tons of witnesses. Police also rendered aid immediately - lots of cops don't, even as victims lay obviously dying.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
"...a plain-clothes officer standing with a gun drawn. He fires once as a woman later identified as Ashli Babbitt climbs through a broken window adjoining the door.
Babbitt falls to the floor, where she is immediately treated by uniformed officers on her side of the barricade. A Jan. 7 news release by Capitol Police said she was taken to a nearby hospital where she died of her injuries.
U.S. Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., told Good Morning America he was in the hallway behind the officer who shot and killed Babbitt.
"When they broke the glass in the back, the (police) lieutenant that was there, him and I already had multiple conversations prior to this, and he didn't have a choice at that time," Mullin said in a Jan. 7 interview. "The mob was going to come through the door, there was a lot of members and staff that were in danger at the time. And when he (drew) his weapon, that's a decision that's very hard for anyone to make and, once you draw your weapon like that, you have to defend yourself with deadly force."

OH man killed in his own garage two weeks ago was holding a cellphone. Cops didn't even render first aid.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

Many other similar instances of officers thinking they see a weapon but it's not. The Capitol building was being charged with people in camo, some in body armor, riot gear, and turns out some had weapons. A few screamed about hanging Mike Pence from a tree. Not only will no charges be filed against the officer but no one will be upset about it except Trumpers. They're always saying people who get killed by cops deserve it, are low lifes. Now it's one of theirs and now they know how the families of those victims' feel. She wasn't an innocent person just walking down the street, wrong place wrong time. She was a willing participant.Comment

Yes, when cops wrongfully stormed into their apartment in the middle of the night, as was his legal right to do so. Those cops were shi tty shots on top of being in the wrong place.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Wednesday's "victim" wasn't a victim. She was a willing participant. You cons had no issues with businesses shooting looters during BLM protestors. A police officer doing his duty during an armed incursion had every right to fire.Comment

How does one shoot someone in a different room? I'd love to hear the physics on that.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
As stated above - there's video of her. There's witnesses including a Republican member of Congress. There will be an investigation but there will be no charges.
Stop trying to make her out as a martyr. Sad that she was a vet that forgot the oath she took to protect the country and American people, not to Donald Trump. The capitol police officer who died also was a vet. Same oath, same outcome, very different reasons why they're both dead. He's the hero.Comment

the female killed had a somewhat tumultuous path through life but at some point turned her back on being rational. Like others she obsessed over Fox and QAnon

Contrast that to the police officer killed, also a former vet who just wanted to be a cop. He voted for Trump and was conservative, but supported gun control measures

"I just had the privilege of signing a very strong Executive Order protecting American Monuments, Memorials, and Statues - and combatting recent Criminal Violence,” Trump tweeted. “Long prison terms for these lawless acts against our Great Country!”Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

bold prediction: with the end of the trump administration and the exile of the cheeto colored arch villain of every histrionic inversion of a morality play from the last 4 years, the political left in the US faces a mass splintering event. they are not really a unified edifice, they are a fractious coalition of convenience held together by a pastiche of a common foe.
without that, the people's front of judea will be at war with the judean people's front in no time.
all the energy on the left is in the deeply radical part and it's going to come to dominate, but it cannot hold together without a common foe.
so they need one, and they will find one.
it is not a coincidence that they are suddenly casting about and lashing out for a new bad guy.
this is the casting call to find a new target upon which to declare war, a new black hat to invent, amplify, and vilify to lend unity to a coalition of absurdist post modern grievance theater used to mask a fascist moment.Comment

Governor Newsom (D) California killed 695 today alone, one of the single highest numbers from any state since April. California has had some of the longest and strictest restrictions of any state in the country & as high a level of mask compliance as anywhere on earth
Why does it not work?Comment

I guess because Fauci is an idiot and there are too many people drinking at the fountain of Fauci? Reality is the virus is going to virus and all those restrictions are pointless unless you’re going to shut down until the vaccine has been fully distributed. That is obviously not possible. Mitigation on delays the inevitable. It doesn’t solve the problem. As California is proving.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
