Chief “Sund said that medical assistance was given to Babbitt ‘immediately’”

Liar.

Not by them. Video shows people helped her, not the police.

The police were barking for everyone to get back. Yeah, that is immediately treating her.

Some LEOs train shooting with their gloves on.......usually they’re uniform types but at the Capitol there are uniform and plain cloths.

I’ve seen cops stop the world of all hell to put their shooting gloves on, then proceed.

Gloves protect the hands from cuts, blood and touching evidence leaving finger prints, among other reasons cops like their gloves.

The murderer was an older man in a business suit waiting in hiding with a gun. He was never identified as a law enforcement officer. When the young woman climbed to the window he walked toward her, taking about 5 steps, with gun pointed at her until he was at point blank range. He then shot and killed her.
At no time was he in any danger of any kind. His escape route was wide open to him with residents casually walking behind him. He deliberately, willfully, and with malice of forethought, killed the young woman.

It will be swept away and under the rug like Finnagen, Bundy’s, Ruby Ridge, Waco and Gillian Gonzales, plus others that I don’t know about.

Where are the Floyd style riots, all across the nation?

Oh, that’s right....America loving patriots don’t do that.

We don’t destroy, burn, assault...yet....we’re being called the ‘mob’, today, due to their staged/choreographed antifa infiltration of an actual peaceful protest.

She was at the door. The window had been broken previously. She was looking through it, and was starting to climb up when she was shot and was blown backward onto the floor. A picture from inside the chamber has been published. It shows men in suits, weapons drawn. You can see that the window she was shot through has no glass in it. The men were standing in front of a large desk of some kind, placed in front of the door to barricade it. If you noticed in the video, no one is banging on the door. Basically no one around her is even paying attention to her, or what she is doing. Most of their backs are turned from her. When the shot rings out, people are looking all around, trying to figure out where it came from.

He probably personally carried her ‘stolen’ computers out of the door, too.

Who knew the Capitol Police uniform included a nice business suit, freshly starched white shirt with french cuffs and cuff links?

What Capitol Police is trained to shoot into a crowd which included their fellow cops?

Someone is covering for someone who is no way, no how a Capitol policeman.

Here’s a thought for your consideration: every single federal “right wing” conspiracy arrest that I can remember for decades has included undercover officers imbedded with the perpetrators. How many undercover officers were among the protestors who broke into the Capitol and is there a chance that unarmed woman gunned down was one of them?

She was not a rioter. There was no riot.

There's no sense in twisting words. You can argue her actions were righteous, brave and patriotic, but she/they were rioting. They broke through locked doors, broke windows, and she was climbing into the hallway through the busted out window of a barricaded door. Yes she was unarmed and non-violent. Nonlethal force was the only appropriate response. It was a bad shoot.

There was a cop in full tactical gear standing right next to Ashli that could have pulled her back with 1 finger, and is lucky he wasn't shot. In fact, when Ashli Babbit fell back, the LEO was staring down the same pistol that killed her, and quickly raised his hands to avoid being shot himself. What a sh*+show.
