The family of Ashli Babbitt, who was fatally shot while participating in the pro-Trump invasion of the U.S. Capitol, plans to sue the police department and the officer who fired the gun for at least $10 million.
News of the forthcoming lawsuit came more than two weeks after the Justice Department said it would not file criminal charges against the officer who killed Babbitt.
Terrell Roberts, an attorney for the Babbitt family, told CNBC it had not been determined when, or in which court, the civil lawsuit against the U.S. Capitol Police would be filed.

I wish them well with this suit, and who knows, we might even find out who murdered her.
Hope they win.
We need to know who the rogue shooter was.
I’ll bet it wasn’t a cop at all. Just some evil RAT Deep Stater who wanted to kill a Trumper.
The shooter will probably be Pelosicided if he hasn’t already.
Good for them. What is likely to be found out during the discovery phase of the court proceeding should make the Capitol Police want to settle this very quickly.
Invasion?? No bias there, just honest reporting. /S
$10 million??
The Floyd family got almost $30 million and he was a no-good career criminal drug addict in the middle of committing a crime and violently resisting arrest.
Babbit served in the armed forces a long time, was a veteran and, while she may have been in the capitol building illegally, she was not committing a crime in the same class as Floyd.
Proportionality demands her family ask for at least four times what Minneapolis paid off to the Floyd family.
Guess who’s paying?
good. should be more. much more.
and an answer to who killed Ashli must be had.
I saw somewhere that he is some kind of capitol civilian cop, not really a cop. Saw pictures of him from that night and his hand had that bracelet was in the shooting picture. Sorry I probably should tag articles like that.
Sadly, none of this lawsuit or its probable settlement will come out of the bank accounts of those responsible. God will deal with it, though, praises be to Him for His justice and mercy!
Shouldn’t people be asking to defund and abolish the Capitol Police? And have some social workers take over the duties?
Babbitt was not fatally shot. She was murdered. No law enforcement agency has a use of force policy that would allow a large man to shoot an unarmed 5’2” slender female The Deep State wants to protect this individual. If the life of a career criminal is worth $27 million, Babbitt should be worth a whole lot more. The tax payers will foot the bill but the Deep State will be exposed.
It’s just fabricated out of thin air...nobody pays! Free Stuff!! Yay, Joe!!
The USCP don’t care. The tax payers are the one that have to pay. The shooter pays nothing.
If the trial happens in DC the family doesn’t have a prayer.
The family should get at least $27 million like in Minneapolis....
I’m betting that they’ll quietly settle on an undisclosed amount so they’ll never have to id who the shooter is.
Fight them and they’ll bury and bankrupt the family. They’ll make quick work of the family’s lawyers. Dox the hell out of them and threaten them so they withdraw.
Or, take a few bucks and go away.
BTW, anyone see that list of scumbags from Congress that used taxpayer money to pay off their sexual assault “victims”? Me neither.
I predict that this will go nowhere.
