The US Capitol Police officer who shot and killed pro-Trump rioter Ashli Babbitt on January 6 will not face any disciplinary action, the department said Monday.

"USCP's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) determined the officer's conduct was lawful and within Department policy, which says an officer may use deadly force only when the officer reasonably believes that action is in the defense of human life, including the officer's own life, or in the defense of any person in immediate danger of serious physical injury," the department said in a statement.

The officer will not be named, the department said, out of consideration for the officer's safety.

So the Capitol Police investigated the Capitol Police and found that the Capitol Police did nothing wrong.

OK then.

If she’d been black, he would have shot someone else.

He was a racist black, looking to kill someone white.

Best to understand the reallities.

Which led to OKC. I almost feel as though gov’t wants another McVeigh.

Or Civil War.

They still want payback from themselves for blowing up their own building.

That means everyone else must endure the BS.

Not only Waco but Ruby Ridge. In addition, the murder of innocent babies in the womb is considered acceptable by them, so why would the murder of a grown woman cause them to lose a night’s sleep? No justice for Ashli Babbitt.

There isn’t a statute of limitations on murder...and it was cold blooded murder. The shooter was not defending himself from imminent death.

It does not matter what the Capitol Police or anybody else says. that slob committed the murder of an unarmed woman on a television camera. There is no question he is guilty of first degree murder. The murder is recorded for all to see and the Capitol Police are hiding him from prosecution. Those are the facts. The Administration is hiding him, it is clear.

If the GOP takes the House the Capital Police report to the new speaker.

“..
It answers to the Capitol Police Board and is the only full-service federal law enforcement agency appointed by the legislative branch of the federal government of the United States.

...”

If the new speaker is not afraid of the Race Card this could be re-opened.

Occam’s Razor: He was told to do it.

Some bigshot congressman (woman) told him, “Go down the hall to the locked doors and take cover. Anyone breaks through the doors, shoot them. Shoot the first person, nobody else will come through. Now, GO!!!”
