I am looking for links to original videos/photos from inside the capital building when Ashli Babbitt was shot. Not outside in the hallway (which are easily available) but inside the room showing the barricades.
Specifically I want to see several 'claims' are true: 1. That Senators/Congress people were in the room and they had to be protected. Frequently quoted as justification for shooting. 2. That the Shooter (Michael Byrd) was alone (not with other security near the door) and he warned people not to come through. 3. Actual videos of the glass and doors being broken before Ashli Babbitt tried to enter.
It seems that most of the video from inside the chamber have been scrubbed from the internet in the last year.
Did you read the link on the parliamentary emergency provisions?
Yes. But if any of it is true, they already had their ‘crisis’. What would intentionally killing a protester accomplish?
I remember when all the raw videos were uploaded to Twitter. Now, I can't find many videos.
But, this video (in the hallway) shows a protester smashing windows while the police guard the doors, then protesters smashing more windows when the police step to the side, and then Babbitt climbing through one.

This video (in the hallway) shows members of Congress on the other side of the door.

They needed a “deadly attack.” Assuring that noboby had standing to challenge certification was the cherry on top of the covid scamdemic to steal 2020. . When you’ve killed 10s of thousands, what’s another life or two from trespassing “insurrectionists?”
I don’t buy that. If they wanted a ‘deadly attack’ it would make more sense to arrange or fake the shooting of someone who was NOT an ‘insurrectionist’.
This just caused problems for them that they didn’t need.
Problems? Byrd was promoted, and rewarded, financially. When you have power...and that is their goal...and a pliant media...they’ve got people believing a half dozen Capitol Police officers were murdered on J6, “problems” are insignificant. The left acts like they’re the aggrieved defenders of democracy.
Well, I guess that was good for Byrd; but they didn’t need all the controversy. They already had their ‘crisis’.
I think Byrd was impulsive, and the killing of the woman wasn’t ‘planned’.
John Earle Sullivan's original video uploaded to YouTube on January 11, 2021:

Thankyou for that reference.
Watching different videos it has become clear:
1. The Politicians were ushered out while the CP stood at the door to the Speakers Chambers.
2. Michael Byrd wasn’t originally at the door, even when it was already barricaded. He showed up later.
3. The misfits that broke the windows with their fists and flagpoles appeared to hit impact glass.
4. The window that Ashli Babbitt was trying to climb through basically completely fell out, did not appear to be broken.
5. Their were Capital police in front of the doors that moved, their were armed people behind the door, and there were Capital police behind the protestors on the stairs when Ashli Babbitt tried to climb through the window.
I still don’t know who barricaded the room. Who else was at the “Speakers Chambers” or where the ‘shooter’ actually showed up from. I don’t understand whey the police moved out of the way, but they did so after the Congresspeople had cleared the hallway. The only threat that Ashli Babbitt had, IMHO, was a backpack (could have been a bomb), but otherwise didn’t seem to: show violence, break anything, or assault any officer. I see absolutely no reason they shot her, except the backpack.
There was no reason.
