There is an obvious double standard in deciding if a police officer should be charged with violating a use-of-force policy.

On January 6th an unarmed 5' 2", 110 pound Caucasian female was shot by police with minimal media coverage and even less outrage. A Google search reports approximately 1,060,000 results for Ashli Babbitt and 293,000,000 for George Floyd.
Ashli Babbitt was a decorated Air force veteran and a Trump supporter.
George Floyd, despite what the media is attempting to portray him as, was a criminal. George Floyd's family received a $27 million settlement. Barbra Streisand donated an unknown number of shares of Disney stock to his daughter. Kanye West donated $2M for an education plan for her. She also received a full scholarship from Texas Southern University in honor of her father's "powerful legacy." The outrage was international, and several U. S. cities burned resulting in $2 billion in damage and 12 people murdered.
Both individuals were involved in a criminal act. Floyd was resisting arrest and his fate would have been different if he had cooperated. Babbitt was not given an opportunity to submit or resist arrest.

It looks to me like Ashli was naive enough to follow ANTIFA infiltrators that lured her into the capitol. It really looks like a setup that the officer shot her and not the ANTIFA breaking the windows.
That’s the way it looked to me as well.
MSM and DNC do not want outrage about her.
She became a designated TPT (Trump Patriot Terrorist), to be made an example of for the sheeple.
This is as good a thread as any for this pretty good podcast, “The Big Lie Revealed”, with more info on the perpetrators and processes for the election theft:
Some on our side are suffering from lost cause fatigue, an election was obviously stolen, a process that was supposed to follow a constitutional safeguard was ignored and the fraud rubber-stamped, and those who went into the Capitol on Jan 6th were duped into an ineffectual display that has only served to feed narratives of the left while doing nothing of any consequence to fix the problems described.
I don’t blame them for trying, but we have run up against a sort of wall of distortion where what we know to be true is reflected back to us as false, and what we know to be false is presented as a new creed that all reasonable people should accept.
The two sides are not going to agree on this. Our side needs to do some planning over the summer, and come up with a plan of action. That will honor the sacrifice made by Ashli Babbitt who was basically shot down in cold blood for no defensible reason.
Just because some of the protestors made a strategic error of judgment does not mean their concerns were wrong. But finding the right way through this challenge will not be easy. Basically, the election needs to be redone, either within this term or at the normal time, but redone with the right rules and oversight in place.
Any repeat of the travesty of Nov 2020 will lead to the breakdown of the Republic, not something I am advocating, just predicting based on common sense, at the point of a second fraud-based election, there will be no more delay in the inevitable fragmentation of what exists now, in favor of something better that could exist in the future.
We are outraged. There has been outrage across conservative media since it happened. The mainstream media is not going to change. Ever. Elected Republicans are not going to suddenly change. The Deep State, who ultimately killed her, isn’t going to suddenly change. Just “shining the light of truth” on a particular incident does nothing.
They are gearing up to do a lot more killing.
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the Deplorables began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Deplorables began to hate.
Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the Deplorables began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the Deplorables began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Deplorables began to hate.
Hat tip to Kipling.
Guessing maybe it’s skin color and what the media chooses to push. And if the shooter was black then the media won’t cover it and government will not release the name. Seems the whole January 6th could have been planned. Once Trump supporters got inside they pretty much stayed inside and hung around. Very few actually did damage. Damage was mostly done by antifa and blm. When they got inside I was watching the politicians inside. They took a break... then they came back. All the sudden they are being told to hide and protect themselves. Made it look like they were in danger. If those Trump supporters really wanted inside they could have rushed it with 100’s of thousands of people. The breech happened before the speech was over. The Babbitt shooting may have been a deterrent to keep the supporters from becoming violent. They know most are and always have been the peaceful conservative type. I am not sure what it would take to get a rise or true uprising from them or us.
Murdered by a black; MSM, forget about it.
She was White, conservative and attacked by an employee of the democrat-run socialist enterprise known as the Congress.
That gives her no protection, and in fact is considered justification for her murder.
Do you think the democrat-run government isn’t happy with the killing of a few right-wing Whiteys?
She had more balls than you do.
God what an idiot. Go look at who has been arrested and when they went into the capitol - actually LOOK AT THE FRACKING EVIDENCE - that is on video - and stop being a tool.
Where is the police report, autopsy, death certificate, hospital admittance, EMTs?
This shooting has only questions and no answers. Was she even shot?
I guess I will take that as a compliment.
Like "Proud Boy/Oath Keeper" John Sullivan who was right beside Ashli and appeared to be urging her actions? He got arrested, but they released him immediately. Doesn't fit the narrative.
Sullivan can reportedly be heard egging the Trump supporters on during the riot
A good article:
Thank you very much for the link, I will check it out.
Seems they are mostly arresting and charging peaceful MAGA protesters allowed in by the police and were walking around the capital between the velvet ropes .
And of course they won’t arrest most of the BLM and Antifa, Democrat shock troops, who sponsored this False Flag event, just a few who were incautious enough to identify themselves. Oh yes, there definite evidence via flyers and on line postings of their presence and activity that people suffering from left-side blindness ignore. (you.) Those are the groups smashing windows and spraying Bear spray and attacking capitol police.
Yes there were some Right wing group members, mostly “right wing terrorists” led by FBI plants and encouraged to participate in this False flag event meant to discredit Trump supporters.
The evidence is that you are a tool and troll and Mtn Climber is not.
Shave your legs and go back and hang with your buddies in the Austin Chapter of DUnderground.

20 Individuals at the Capitol on January 6th Connected to Antifa or Far Left Groups. By Jim Hoft.
John Sullivan beside Ashli Babbitt.
Note that in a different photo he is wearing a Trump hat. It was known days before Jan. 6 that ANTIFA were being instructed to wear Trump gear.
A well-reasoned post. I agree with your reasoning but I question that we will have a fair elections in the future.
Today, six months after, our representatives in Arizona have finally gained access to the original material. We are still fighting for access in other states.
The bad faith actions of those who oppose us not only have drawn media-muted outrage, with only a few brave outlets willing to continue to report the facts, and many of us have too much to lose to publicly stand up.
If only, as you say, we could have halted the process and examined the results in November and December. If only the USSC had done their duty (the most outrageous part of this) or Pence had shown a little courage.
As an aside, a few weeks ago my hometown newspaper had a story about a local fellow who is still being held in DC.
Their statement was that he ‘incorrectly’ believed the election had been stolen. I don’t remember any person or groups beliefs being labeled as incorrect in a ‘news’ story. Even Charles Manson’s weirdness got a pass.
