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.

Caveat: I am not advocating violence in any form.
The reason why an unarmed woman like Ashli Babitt can be shot and killed without justice being done is that there are no riots. Jews in the 1930s could not go to the German police and seek justice.
I have yet to read any info on the shooter...

one long time FPer said it was a Capitol Police Supervisor - no other info. Others said shooter was black. If both true, then it would be natural for them to say nothing
“She wasn’t in nanzi’s office as far as I know.”
She wasn’t even in the hallway. She was in the foyer outside the hallway, along with many others as well as ARMED POLICE OFFICERS! She stood up on a ledge that abuts the doorway and the shooter shot her THROUGH the doorway. It was a very bad shoot, and is at the very least manslaughter. But, the shooter is protected, will never be identified, and is probably being feted at this very moment.
How about they release the shooters name.>>>>>>>
Exactly … crickets chirping. >>>>>>>>>>
They know if they release his name , he would be DMW.We will find out one way or another.
I take the same attitude as Samuel Adams or Francis Marion would.
But we knew the names of all the police officers immediately, thiose involved in Floyd’s death.
And we can’t get his name?
The hypocrisy is so thick, “I CAN”T BREATHE!”
“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.”
It’s interesting that of the thousands of cell phones/cameras there not ONE video of that alleged incident has been found or released. I say alleged because right now it is just a “he said” report. Show the video, and we’ll see the perp.
So very true.
Just think Nancy and Mike as in Pence.
Is this the office of interminable, never-concluding investigations at the DOJ? It was Barr’s favorite.
“The murderer must be black. Otherwise, a name would have emerged.”
Not only that, but maybe even a congressman? There are quite a few hate-filled congressmen in the Dem caucus.
I have watched the video of ghe shooting many times. This is what I see:
- hand holding gun, extended, shooter wearing suit, not uniform
- aims gun starts squeeze, stops
- flicks safety off
- repositions gun, aims, starts squeeze, gun discharges
This is going over and over in my mind. As a shooter of many years and hundreds of thousands of rounds, this is a deliberate act, not a reflexive act.
This was an assassination.
That many GOPEs seem to think things are going back to “normal” when Trump exits the scene is just another indication of how clueless they are.
I think that’s the guy who had the stroke and died.
A federal office may use deadly force in 3 and only 3 situations.
1To defend their own lives or against grievous broadly harm.
2 To defend the life of their partner
3 To defend the life of an incent 3rd party.
I fail to see how he met any of the criteria.
[Right up there with that one in (was it Arizona? Nevada?) where the cops had the guy on the floor in the hallway, and one cop was telling him not to move and another cop was telling him to crawl toward them. The poor guy didn’t know what to do, so he raised his head to ask and he was immediately blown away. I heard somewhere that both cops soon fled the country.]

“That many GOPEs seem to think things are going back to “normal” when Trump exits the scene is just another indication of how clueless they are.”
Well, to be frank, they think “normal” is being lickspittles to their Dem masters.
Going Dark and Useless to the people!
Initially, he was described as one of Schumer’s detail.
He’s listed as the guy who suicided - the stroke guy is Sickbig or something
