Looks like Putin is squeezing the s4!t out of his hand and he’s grimacing in response. LOL

I wasn’t the one who called it an assassination. Vladimir Putin did, so you can ask him....whatever.

But.......

1. Can you shed some light on the ‘similar shootings’ that happen all too often?

Yes they do happen. But, I’m having trouble remembering any like this. I’m comfortable saying that many of the ‘similar shootings’ you may be fantasizing about are encounters where law enforcement is investigating something, the other guy isn’t listening to what they cops are saying or asking, the encounter quickly escalates and things go sideways. Sometimes resulting in the shooting of an unarmed individual.

***NOT SAYING THEY’RE RIGHT. THEY’RE JUSTIFIED. AND I’M NOT...REPEAT...NOT...SOME BOOTLICKING HOLSTER SNIFFER. I was in law enforcement for over 15 years and have no problem calling BS when I see it. ****

2. Similar rulings? Are you referring to the fact that LEO’s have “gotten off” in instances where an unarmed person was shot?

3. Can you name me ONE of these instances where the identity of the police officer/deputy was hidden from the public? Can you name me ONE instance where the identity of the police officer/deputy wasn’t known and where they DIDN’T the police ID photo plastered all over the news?

The shooter in the Capitol wasn’t an “assassin”.
——————
Actually, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the shooter were an “assassin”.

Someone sent there with a gun, to make sure somebody died during this. The SOBs setting this up needed deaths and they couldn’t count on accidents. The pro-Trump patriots weren’t there to kill anybody. In the end, they didn’t even have to. The “Press” uses the talking point that “people died”, and it was murder of a pro-Trump supporter. Assassin: Mission Accomplished.

Possibly.

But isn’t there s saying about...secrecy breeding conspiracy...or something like that.

Whether it was a set up, a “person of color” thinking/knowing they could get away with it, or just an incompetent, cowardly moron with a gun panicking or overreacting, we do not know?

But the first thing that needs to be done/known is....Who did it?

After that, a review of the investigation that took place and ask any questions that may arise from that investigation.

Taking the DOJs or Capitol PDs word for it, doesn’t work. And it’s easy for them to do that, given the protections that Congress has given themselves and the Capitol Police.

She may have been targeted because she knew of the FBI's plans and they needed to shut her up.

Geez, that one's kinda outa left field, isn't it? Any evidence of this?

I’m betting that Putin has some solid folks in the Ukraine. And those folks have provided him some legit material on what CornPop and his son were doing there. Not to mention anyone he has in our own government. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Whichi is exactly why Putin got the Nordtream pipe line for Putin. Putin has Biden by the short hairs, and is calling the shots.

Good point.

And imagine the howl from the press if Pres. Trump assisted Putin with the Nordtream pipeline.

There is that. But, none of those questions can be asked or answered without knowing, first, who it was.

You’re making it way too complicated. Simpliest explanation that fits all the known points is best. (Until we know more then we change the explanation!) It is “Capital Hill LEO who panicked ! Aside: An easily panicked LEO is not someone you want with a firearm. (or who wanted to impress his boss - Pelosi .. maybe at Pelosi’s command - far far less likely!)”.

Why so far we know nothing is explained perfectly with the fewest extra steps by the previous poster.

Very good catch! I think you are exactly right. It turns out Putin is a sharp politician who knows how to use his KGB experience.

He knew right where the camera was and got exactly the shot he wanted.

Can you shed some light on the ‘similar shootings’ that happen all too often?

I'm referring to incidents where a police officer kills an unarmed suspect when the lives and safety of the officer or other people are not threatened. And afterwards the shooting is ruled justified. Don't pretend it doesn't happen.

I’m comfortable saying that many of the ‘similar shootings’ you may be fantasizing about are encounters where law enforcement is investigating something, the other guy isn’t listening to what they cops are saying or asking, the encounter quickly escalates and things go sideways.

How "far sideways" do things have to go before, in your opinion, deadly force is justified? An unarmed person in a backyard? An unarmed person breaking into an office building? What's the deciding factor?

Are you referring to the fact that LEO’s have “gotten off” in instances where an unarmed person was shot?

Yes. Just like in the Babbitt case.

Can you name me ONE of these instances where the identity of the police officer/deputy was hidden from the public? Can you name me ONE instance where the identity of the police officer/deputy wasn’t known and where they DIDN’T the police ID photo plastered all over the news?

Sure. In 2013 Capitol Police shot and killed a woman named Miriam Carey who tried to run a White House security checkpoint and in the process hit an injured a uniformed Secret Service agent. As she approached one of the Senate office buildings, Capitol Police tried to stop her and opened fire when she didn't stop. She was killed. Officer who shot her wasn't named. Earlier this year a person tried to run a security point near the Capitol. He hit and killed a Capitol Police Officer before being shot and killed by the Capitol Police. Officer who shot him wasn't named. And the reason for this is that most, if not all, states require the names of police officers involved in shooting be made public. But the Capitol Police are not required to. Federal law allows them to keep the names confidential. That's why Babbitt's shooter wasn't named. That's why Capitol Police are never named when involved in a shooting.

Ok

But this isn’t Russia.

The shooter in the Capitol wasn’t an “assassin”. He was in that building for official reasons and a government employee(?), whose identity is being hidden due to “threats of violence against him”. Isn’t that what they’re saying?

Hey, you don't have to convince me.

I'm just trying to look at it as Putin does.

He knew all about it inside and out. I’ve always said it was an assassination, too.

Apples to tomato’s, DoodleDawg. Everything you responded with.

WHAT IS THE IDENTITY OF THE PERSON WHO SHOT ASHLI BABBITT AND WHERE IS THE INVESTIGATION FILE?

In any case you want to bring up, other than instances involving the Capitol Police…..justified, not justified, f*cked up, whatever….the identity of the law enforcement officer is/was known and the file was available to the public.

As previously stated, as a former member of law enforcement I am not a blind supporter of law enforcement. More so, given my history I can scrutinize actions better than most.

Your examples of other shootings in loving the Capitol Police prove my point.

However, your anti-police bias is pretty clear. And I’m perfectly ok with that. You do you. I don’t judge.

Normally I would take apart a response like yours rather easily but I won’t.

Vladimir Putin Accuses U.S. Government of Assassinating Ashli Babbitt

It's beyond credulity that the DOJ cleared the U.S. Capitol Police officer who killed Ashli Babbitt while and at the same the DOJ & U.S. Capitol Police refuse to identify the killer.

Absent a thorough impartial investigation, there is no way to prove or disprove Mr. Putin's assertion. Sadly, our institutions (SCOTUS, AGs, FBI) responsible for providing an impartial investigation, prosecution and judgement are anything but objective.

Franklin was walking out of Independence Hall after the Constitutional Convention in 1787, when someone shouted out, “Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?” To which Franklin supposedly responded, with a rejoinder at once witty and ominous: “A republic, if you can keep it.”
