GSG Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Family of woman shot by cop during Capitol riot says it was murder Quote Babbitt had traveled to D.C. from California because of her fervent belief in the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Trump. Video shows her trying to climb through a broken window into the Speaker's Lobby outside the House Chamber when a Capitol Police officer guarding the entrance fired. An investigation by the Justice Department found insufficient evidence to bring any charges against the officer, who's never been named publicly. But Babbitt's family feels she was murdered. "In the eyes of her family? Of course she was," attorney Terry Roberts told WUSA. "I mean, there was just no legal justification to take her life." Roberts, a Prince George's County-based attorney who specializes in police misconduct and civil rights litigation said to him, the shooting is an "obvious case of excessive force." "She could have easily been stopped by the officer who shot her or numerous other officers who were around and been arrested, if that's what they wanted to do. There was no need to shoot her," Roberts said. "Any rookie police officer with a set of handcuffs could have taken her into custody. She's an Air Force veteran. She was actually a military police officer herself. I am sure that she would have complied." Quote "You know, we don't shoot protesters in this country unless they're an immediate threat to somebody," Roberts said. "And so I don't see the difference between Ashli Babbitt's case and any other protests which occurred in 2020." Link to comment

I assumed this would happen. She is in a mob, storming and terrorizing the capital building where members of congress are in session. The mob had already shown violence against capital police outside the building. They were breaking windows and doors to get in. And, people don't expect to get shot? It completely amazes me that more people didn't get shot....and it's justified in my mind. I wouldn't even THINK about doing what they did because I would expect to get shot and that was my thought even before Jan 6th. These weren't just peaceful protestors. 5 Link to comment

And the person who fired the shot was attempting to delay a violent mob from getting their hands on legislators, who had vacated the room seconds before the shot was fired and the seditionist was climbing through the window. She had already participated in a riot outside, she had already participated in breaking and entering the Capitol during a congressional session, she was actively participating in the storming of the chamber in which congress was certifying a legal election. And that's after trump's rally where he encouraged his cult members to "stop the steal." It's frankly astounding that more of the mob wasn't shot. 4 Link to comment
