The police officer who shot Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt dead has been suspended and the incident is currently under investigation.
Babbitt was shot in the neck at almost point blank range during yesterday’s chaos in DC during the storming of the Capitol building.
Footage of the shocking incident clearly shows that non-lethal measures could have been used against Babbitt, who served her country during a 14 year stint in the Air Force.
The officer who shot Babbitt, who was wearing a suit and positioned inside the Senate chamber when he opened fire, has now been suspended pending an investigation.
US Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund also said that there would be a “thorough review” of security measures following the incident.
Sund said in his statement that officers had acted “valiantly” against rioters who “actively attacked United States Capitol Police Officers and other uniformed law enforcement officers with metal pipes, discharged chemical irritants, and took up other weapons against our officers.”
As we highlighted earlier, some leftist commentators called for police to shoot Trump supporters before Babbitt was killed, while others gloated over her death on Facebook and Twitter.
Three other people died during the bedlam, but authorities have only revealed that they were killed as a result of “medical emergencies.”
Immediately after the shooting, mainstream media journalists such as Huffington Post’s Matt Fuller falsely claimed that Trump supporters were shooting into the chamber, when the opposite was true.
“Who was shot while committing what was clearly an act of insurrection.”
So, the cop is a judge and executioner?? You’re an idiot.
The police investigated themselves and found that nothing untoward occurred.
All is as it should be, you civilian. Go back and stand 6 feet apart in your face diaper and be glad it was not you.
“Who was shot while committing what was clearly an act of insurrection.”
Next time you get pulled over by a cop I hope it goes like this:
DipWad DugwayDuke: “What did I do officer?”
Officer: “*BLAM* *BLAM* *BLAM*”
Officer: “Clearly he was committing an act of insurrection by being insubordinate to me.”
What was she doing that warranted the officer drawing his gun on her?
.
Exactly. Especially considering there were other people already in the Capital. Why shoot her for coming in with everyone else? Was she armed? Idk but I doubt it.
He is innocent until proven guilty but needs to be investigated why he would use that level of violence.
Trespassing not insurrection, why would a Trump supporter try to overthrow Trump?
Did the shooting victim use any of these weapons?
Did the officers experience blowback from their own chemical irritants being used for crowd control in a less than well ventilated area?
I want to know his name.
So no body cam?

Forget it, clearly this poster is a damn psycho.
If there are clear photos of him, I bet 4chan will identify him.
No doubt he’ll be allowed to quietly retire, and disappear into the woodwork.
Yes
We need his name
GTF outta here, you heartless, communist POS!
Nah! To be swept under the rug forthwith.
It is noted that the shooter was in civilian clothes at least a white dress shirt with what appeared to be cuff link cuffs.
= = =
I’m thinking a Congress security person.
Don’t know the organization of all that.
Obviously, you are a homosexual
I want to offer that this officer was not in an on duty status. I think he is a left wing rat sympathizer and shot Mrs. Babbit as part of the false flag operation. ANTIFA and capitol police removed barriers and led people into the building.
The insurrection is what she was protesting!
