The US Attorney for Washington DC has launched a federal excessive force investigation into the death of the Trump-supporting Air Force veteran who was shot dead when rioters breached the US Capitol.

The office of Michael Sherwin, the Acting US Attorney for the District of Columbia, confirmed a formal probe is underway into the shooting death of 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt, according to the New York Times.

Sherwin has assigned his civil rights division to lead the case, which is currently under investigation by both the FBI and the DC Metropolitan Police Department.

Babbit, from San Diego, was shot in the chest by a Capitol police officer while she tried to climb through a window into the congressional chambers as part of the violent mob that broke into the Capitol Wednesday.

She died in hospital several hours later.

HUH? Pretty sure we've already been told that the shooter "Had no choice.". So, what's to investigate? With the current surge in cancelling businesses, folks and organizations, does the US Attorney really want to undertake this? He could be doxxed etc. Banned from twatter and all............ Pretty disgusted currently.

Nothing will come of this your silly to think otherwise. How about they release the shooters name.

You want a theory? I will give you one.

What was her job in the service?

What was supposed to have/or did happen in the P’louses office?

It was a bad shoot. She posed no threat to anyone. She was displaying a weapon, she wasn’t charging the officer, she wasn’t physically intimidating.

Say her name - Ashli Babbitt.

It’s going to be the shortest investigation on record. On January 20th at 12:01 PM EST, Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin will be terminated, and the investigation closed.

A police officer shoots and kills an unarmed individual who was posing no threat to the officer or others? Where have we seen this before and how often has the officer in question faced trial for the shooting?

"Many have said that, had Wednesday's mob been largely black, cops would have used greater force and discharged their firearms more readily."

Really? Have any black rioters been shot by police despite the police being assaulted, shot at, had explosives, firebombs and acid thrown at them, thousands of innocent people being assaulted, whole city blocks burned to the ground?

The hysterical ninny two-war vet billionaire heir to the Meijer fortune who replaced Justin Amash talks about his calm, collected response to the prospect of being gunned down by Trump’s Nazi stormtroopers.

It won’t be an investigation
It will be a cover up
This probly gives his office the power to seize all the videos made during the murder and threaten any witnesses from speaking out

I have yet to read any info on the shooter......who, what, why, status, gender, employment etc.

I have seen the person identified as a “police employee’ and beyond that nothing.

The shooting video shows the shooter’s arm with what appears to be a black suit coat with white cufflink cuffs and wearing gloves..... Anyone with info?

It’s just something to keep everybody quiet until Biden appoints a new DC US Attorney. Then the investigation will quietly go away.
