Mark Steyn was very angry after listening to Marco on Tucker:

Comment on Marco Rubio.

“I followed Marco Rubio on “Tucker” last night, and I was fairly seething by the time he’d said goodnight. To demonstrate what a regular citizen-representative he is, Marco said he knew the names of some of the Capitol Police charged with protecting the building. Really? Does he know the name of the officer who shot dead Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed woman and Air Force veteran? If so, perhaps he could tell his chums in the media, because none of them seem in the least bit interested. Indeed, on the evidence of the hourly radio bulletins I heard today, the courtiers of the American media have evidently agreed to avoid mentioning that Ms Babbitt died at the hands of the police. Gee, it’s almost as if they’re trying to give listeners the impression that she was killed by crazed Trump supporters.
I would be interested in knowing more about the Capitol Police, which flunked its responsibilities totally yesterday and never more so than in that fatal shot fired into Ms Babbitt’s neck. The Capitol Police rang a vague bell with me, and I eventually recalled the last time I wrote about their shooting of a young woman, seven years ago. Please read on to what I regard as the most repulsive aspect of this story: Congress’s standing ovation for the Capitol Police’s dispatch of that poor defenseless mom. Maybe they’re planning something similar for the guy who offed Ashli Babbitt.”

From your link.Amazing how the libs and media have excelled in changing the venue from how the life of young women has little value to the dc police but if our president says something they don't like it's impeachment time again.
what went wrong where is what we better find out.
Below is what happened years ago as the dc cops gunned down another woman who got too close to ozeros house.
................
Miriam Carey is already forgotten, and the lawyer her family hired has now, conveniently, been jailed for a bad debt. I am not one for cheap historical analogies: My mother spent four of her childhood years under Nazi occupation, and it is insulting to her and millions of others who know the real thing to bandy overheated comparisons. But there is a despotic trend in American government. Too many of our rulers and their enforcers reflexively see the citizenry primarily as a threat. Which is why in Congress the so-called people's representatives’ first instinct is to stand and cheer the death of a defenseless woman.
..................
Steyn has it right. No where in the world would the death of either of these women be a source of celebration. Should not be here either.
