    That's BALONEY. Benedict Donald and his tRumpublicans want to turn Ashli Babbitt into a martyr to smear a Capitol Police Officer that was doing his duty to protect Congress. If it wasn't for tRumps BIG LIE it wouldn't have happened.

    This is the kind of terminology that is used by rabid partisans looking to score political points.

    This almost writes itself.

    And that Capitol Police officer should be charged with murder 2 just like Derek Chauvin. The difference is George Floyd's family got a little taste of justice but Ashli Babbitt's family will not.

    My first thought when I heard about the death of Ms. Babbitt was that it certainly was a tragedy and that she certainly did not deserve to die. I blame those who organized this violent riot and those who incited such hatred and anger aimed at the VP and the Congress members who indicated that they would follow the Constitutional process of counting the state certified EC votes. Ms. Babbitt was acting irrationally and recklessly because she had been told repeatedly that this election was stolen from Trump and handed to Biden. Trump, Guiliani, Hannity, Carlson and the rest of the Trumpist media mob, Cruz, Gaetz, Gohmert, Hawley and over half of the GOP Congressional delegation advanced that lie for two months leading up to this violent attack. Ms. Babbitt’s blood is all over the hands of these lying scumbags. For these same POSs to attack and condemn the police officer who shot her is disgusting on many levels.

    It was tragic, but not an injustice.

    The notion of an unarmed woman with literally zero criminal record, crawling through a window with a gun pointed at her with the person pointing that gun telling her to freeze, and her refusing to obey that command is simply not believable. Deep down, you know that too. You too would be curious if it were anything other than a Trump supporter.

    Just because it has reportedly been investigated and determined to be fine is most certainly not adequate for BLM when they complain, and it is not adequate in this situation. Undoubtedly you support BLM when they complain about internal investigations, but with a Trump supporter all of a sudden the authorities are infallible. In contrast, I support BLM's demands to make public the process, it is just in most (not all) BLM cases after the details become public, I have disagreed with BLM's conclusion (such as that shooting in the Wendys parking lot in Atlanta last summer, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin etc). My position is fair minded. Yours is not. A secret investigation that purportedly clears the person is not adequate. In all of those cases the person killed did far more to get themselves killed then did an unarmed woman climbing through a window, yet their cases were publically investigated, grand jury, trial etc.

    To pretend like this woman was not worthy of the same review those actual established criminals received is not credible. There is supposed to be an equal application of the law. That clearly is not occurring in this case.

    Thank you again, for amply illustrating my original point. This is about scoring political points by rabid partisanship and not about justice for people like Ashli Babbit and George Floyd.

    Truly, Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same statism-worshipping coin. They act almost identically alike in all ways that mean anything.

    If she doesn't you can blame yourself for letting Ashly down.

    The United States Attorney published a very public report citing the applicable laws and his judgement that the Officer did not violate them. Apparently that's the review that takes place when someone has broken into the Capitol and threatened the lives of Congress.

    I am sure she'll answer to either.

    That process would not be acceptable to BLM, and it should not be acceptable now. If a person supports/demands a public investigation of the former, and not the latter, they have zero interest in justice. Their only concern is petty vindictiveness and partisanship. Michael Brown, the Wendys parking lot guy, Trayvon Martin, etc, all did FAR more to justify themselves being killed than did this woman. This woman surely deserves at least as thorough and public airing and investigation of why she was killed as they received. For example, since they saw no weapon, why was she shot as opposed to tackled? Did she appear to be reaching into her waistband as if she had a weapon? It would be nice to see these types of questions posed under oath as with the other mentioned cases.

    To claim otherwise only means that justice was never your position on police shootings. At that point the person only cares about politics. Perhaps it is unrealistic for me to expect others to be fair minded like myself.

    Why she was killed? That's funny. The whole world saw it. Everyone knows why she was killed. You too, I'm sure.

    Back at cha pallie.

    The George Floyd and Ashli Babbitt deaths have zero in common. George Floyd was handcuffed and helpless while an Officer sworn to protect him knelt on his neck for nine minutes. Ashli Babbitt along with 20 to 30 fellow insurrectionists were yelling death threats at Congress while breeching the last barrier protecting that Congress with the obvious intention of carrying out their threats.

    To my understanding she was shot because she was coming through a window in the Capitol building. I am not aware of that offense being punishable by death.
    Do you know of a different reason?

    Why is that funny?

    No she won't answer to either one because she was killed by yet another cop with power trip issues.

    That's the point.

    My protest comes in the chat room variety and it focuses upon having a rational discussion about why clearing her in a p rivate process is wrong. Are you trying to imply that a position is not valid unless one marches in the streets like a petulent child?

    To me, that implication is silly.

    Because cops like DA's don't have a history of protecting other cops? I don't really care what a DA report has to say and to quote it is the same tactic Republicans us to defend thier jackboots too.

    The widow she was coming through, while she and 20 or more of her fellow insurrectionists were yelling death threats at Congress, was the last barrier between them and Congress.

    You mean besides the fact that they were tragic and the fact the cop didn't have to kill them or that the partisaned hacks on both sides are coming out in droves to irrationally defend them?

    Yeah..."nothing in common".
