The mother of Ashli Babbitt, Micki Witthoeft, was arrested by U.S. Capitol Police at a protest Friday afternoon in Washington, D.C. marking the second anniversary of her daughter’s killing by Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd during the January 6th riot. Micki Witthoeft was part of a group of protesters walking westbound on Independence Avenue between the Capitol and House office buildings. A trailing police officer in a marked car tried to order the protesters to move to the sidewalk away from the Capitol. The protesters ignored the warning and continued marching, with Witthoeft on the outside in the middle of a traffic lane.
Capitol Police set up a roadblock and ordered the protesters to cross the street to the sidewalk or be arrested. After an officer shoulder checked Witthoeft where she tried to move past him, Witthoeft turned her back to the officers and offered to be arrested. She was immediately cuffed and taken into custody.

Will they give her the same treatment as her daughter’s?
The above mentioned broke windows, looted, beat people up, pulled down statues, even murdered, and AFAIK, few, if any, were arrested.
Terrible that they arrested Ashli Babbit's mother. Unfreakinbelievable 3rd world dictatorship this country is now.😠
“Ashlee Babbitt got herself killed.”
Lindsey Graham, is that you?
The capital police turned out to be extremely corrupt. I never would have thought so before J6.
I can point to two posters on this thread that would appear to be ok with that.
Crawling through a window in a public building is no grounds for cold blooded murder of an unarmed woman by a chicken shit stupid cop that leaves his gun in a crapper booth.
She was not crawling through the window when shot.
I believe she was 6 to 8 feet back.
Geez. I wonder how many Capistol Police we’re going to lose to heart attacks this time.
Are they going to shoot her in the neck for protesting too?
Byrd needs to experience a tragic hunting accident RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES!!!
As for the cop arresting Babbit’s mother, well I’ll let others decide what should be done.
it is good to see kristinn again on FR
Hate saying this….
If Babbit was black and the cop was white…….wow
That was my first thought when i saw the name of the author
The trailing officer “tried” to warn them? He either did or didn’t.
My dad would say; “try? You’re going to TRY? Try to touch your nose, try”
Yoda would say; “do, or do not. There is no try”
Better yet- what if the cop in the video was white and he was harassing a black woman for j-walking??
You saw the videos of the cops opening the doors and letting people in, where many stood in roped lines to look around….right?
And of the guy who came downstairs to guide groups of people upstairs to the offices, right?
Maybe the rules are different when they are in session.
I may be wrong on that. The news reports statee she had been
trying to break in the door, but they don’t specifically
state where she was when struck by the bullet.
It was my impression she had backed off the door and was
located 6-8 feet away from it when shot.
Perhaps someone else can find better coverage than I did.
Has anyone told antifee?
