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.

How about finding out who hit an officer in the head with a fire extinguisher? I bet the SOB was Antifa so that little tidbit gets censored. The officer has since died. We need to say his name as well.

Ever wonder why the name of the cop who shot this unarmed lady is not being released? In all these shootings around the country, the cop’s name are almost always immedeatly released and the officer is doxed mercilessly.

“She was displaying a weapon,”

The victim was displaying a weapon? If that is the case then that alone could justify the use of deadly force.

I watched a video of the shooting on TV where it appeared the victim apparently gained access to a building, or was about to. What the video clearly showed was a gun coming from around the corner and squeezing one off. This video was taken from outside the building. Now there is bound to be security footage of that entrance door from the inside. If such a video exists, it will give much more detail.

I’m suspecting the chickshit cop had never been in a situation like this and fired the weapon based on fear, not training.

But there is one thing for certain, in today’s lawless world, law, order, evidence and facts no longer matter. Regardless if this was purposeful murder or a justifiable shooting, it will be under the carpet just like the fraudulent election, Biden’s China dealings and anything else that is now fully corrupt.

Our DC politicians are just giddy to be back into the obama era. The RINO’s now get to enjoy their second place status just like the pre-Civil War house servants did. These slaves got better treatment, better food, better clothes and quarters as compared to the field slaves. They were called “House N*****’s”. And that is exactly what our worthless RINO’s are. In the House of Representatives, that name literally applies to them.

And the shooter just kinds of backs up and disappears in the background.

Ashli Babbitt is the martyr who will be the inspiration for the MAGA crowd to carry on the fight and never surrender.

Should be: “She was NOT displaying a weapon.”

That’s what I get for not proofreading.

Federal Police are never held accountable and are allowed to kill at will.

Guess I wasn’t clear that I don’t think anything will happen in this “investigation”.

Sorry, I’m a little more positive. That they are even calling it “excessive force” is something.

The saddest thing of all the recent events is that the American People have lost confidence in the Justice Department, the Supreme Court, and as a basis in fact, don’t believe that our leaders really believe in the “Rule of Law”, especially as described in the Bible. We are a lost nation until we demand the Rule of Law be returned to our country.

The officer who committed suicide was named Howard Liebengood. Daily Mail has the story, by way of a search, but my blocker will not let me in there.

You and I know she never made it. But somebody made it. They got screen shots of the office computer screens.
