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.

Hopefully they won’t murder her too.
Did Ashli Babbitt’s killer receive a medal today?
Yeah
The trailing officer “tried” to warn them? He either did or didn’t. Will her mom end up in jail for years waiting to be charged?
Sorry “order”, not “ warn”.
Ashlee Babbitt got herself killed. She had no business crawling through that window. When there’s pandemonium this $hit will happen. Cop overreaction-does it matter? Ashlee’s gone. Try bringing her back.
She was marching aggressively towards a donut shop.
Did Ashli Babbitt’s killer receive a medal today?
Sounds like domestic insurrectionist terrorism. /s
Gee, all of a sudden blocking the street is illegal?
There were capitol security standing right there alongside of her.
No reason for that son of a bitch to pull that trigger.
Probably got a raise and promotion as well, with a reach around from Lindsey Graham.
Maybe she was unduly sassy and rude.
We had to make reservations days ahead of time and go through multiple layers of security, stricter than TSA airline stuff.
I can't imagine any rational person thinking they could just walk in there without something bad happening.
Or wearing blackface
How many of the Black Lies Matter and Antifa rioters were arrested for blocking streets in DC or anywhere for that matter?
She wasn’t painting a BLM “mural.”
Yeah, you try getting away with shooting and killing someone because they’re crawling through a small window.
You actually believe the shooter felt he was going to be killed in the next couple seconds and that there were no other options available?
Yes, cop overreaction matters. It indicates at the very least that he has no business being in law enforcement with the possibility of exercising deadly force.
