If we are going to investigate the events of January 6, 2021, we should start with the killing of Ashli Babbitt.
Babbitt was shot by an unidentified law enforcement officer as she was crouched precariously in the framework of a broken interior window in the Capitol Building, located outside the Speaker’s Lobby off the House Floor. Babbitt was killed by the only shot fired that day and was the only documented fatality related directly to law enforcement activity. The identity of the officer who shot Babbitt remains a mystery.
Despite video evidence raising serious questions of excessive force, a Justice Department investigation determined there was insufficient evidence to bring charges against the officer who fired the fatal shot.
The DOJ, employing a strange double-negative phrasing, concluded that the investigation found “no evidence… the officer did not reasonably believe that it was necessary to do so in self-defense.”
Babbitt was 35 years old, an Air Force veteran who served in the military police. She was unarmed and not threatening anyone with violence. Had she been given the opportunity to surrender to police, she in all likelihood would have. But a policeman chose not to give her that chance.
Ashli Babbitt’s family plans to file a $10 million wrongful death lawsuit against the Capitol Police, which may shed some light on the circumstances leading to the shooting. Meanwhile Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the DC government for Metropolitan Police Department and Office of the Chief Medical Examiner records concerning the killing. Judicial Watch seeks investigative reports, photographs, witness statements, dispatch logs, schematics, ballistics, video footage, and MPD officials’ electronic communications concerning Babbitt’s death, as well as autopsy reports, toxicology reports, notes, photographs, and OCME officials’ electronic communications. Previous such records requests have been ignored.
Pandemic
Election
Insurrection
What if people knew how much they had been lied to about all of this?
The family should go for 100 million and this is one lawsuit I hope that they get every penny.
Yes, her name? Nancy Pelosi.
Was it a Law Enforcement Officer or Private Security for a Liberal Official (like Pelosi)? We need to know & he needs to be charged. Then maybe we will learn more.
One of the reasons I no longer support the fbi
Thank you for posting this article. I am outraged to see this woman’s death trivialized & ignored.
I agree, the more I have watched the videos, the more it looks like a planned hit.
They needed a death to make it a “deadly insurrection”.
Every day that congress is in session there should be a republican that goes to the floor and talks about Ashley, demanding to know what and who happened. When every republican has done this then the rotation should start over and continue until freedom is restored to this country.
Of course when we have leaders like McCarthy this will never happen and the communist will continue to get away with it.
That looks like a good possibility to me too.
You are correct. They got that with the girl. Then they had their buffalo jump. The Trump supporters that were there did not know what was happening. There was at least one from Alabama that was arrested by the Gestapo er the FBI. However the article included with” Local Law Enforcement assisted in the arrests” The sheep believe that their locally elected Sheriff will be on their side when the order goes out. However, they will learn by experience that as it happened with the Jews in the early 40s it is the local Police who apprehended them and turned them over to the SS and Gestapo. As will happen to us except we will be turned over to the FEDs.
They can go for whatever they want, but they won’t see a dime. The official story is that she was first to break through into a secured area sheltering the congress critters, and there was a warning before firing.
The only people getting money out of this will be the attorneys.
