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.

Someone told me yesterday that THEY want to establish the modern US version of the Brown Shirts. Might be alluding to the last occupant of the White House aspirations of building a internal security force as well equipped and trained as the military.

Apparently, the days after 06Jan....The days after Ashli Babbitt’s Murder...there were reports of over 60 CPD being injured. Interesting. What a follow-up story won’t tell you is...over 60 CPD going on out disability from injuries and PTSD. Bet on that.

As for the Brown Shirts....that might be their plan. But it will be just as dysfunctional and inept as every other federal agency. Eventually, boggles my mind that it is not now, people will not like this one bit. The Brown Shirts will go somewhere they shouldn’t and it will not end well for them.

Amazing....Hundreds of folks showed up to protect Bundy and his cows from the BLM. Uninvited and without any coordination. Our country is being stolen from us, in front of our faces. And of course, some here on FR still want a peaceful resolution thinking this whole thing can be handled at the ballot box or in court.

Yup. The gopE is complicit in this and should be viewed as democommie light. They are anti-Americans now just like their masters. Pretty obvious why it’s so easy to dimiss “America First”.

It didn’t look like that in the pix I saw, taken from very close to the shooter. But it’s hard to say...I originally thought the woman shot was Hispanic, because she looked to have darker hair and skin and be much younger in the first photo I saw. She wasn’t, obviously, but other people must have thought this too, since the rumor was that a 16yr old girl had been shot.

Most of these photos have now been disappeared from the internet, but I hope somebody has been saving them.

There will be no proper prosecution of the evil murderer.

Watching the victim bleed out is sickening.

Pissed off.

“”Many have said”

How is that phrase even allowed in journalism??”

Have been hearing that a lot from the TV propagandists lately. Along with “some say”, etc., etc...

Thanks!

I have watched the video of the shooting many times. This is what I see:
- hand holding gun, extended, shooter wearing suit, not uniform + cuff links
- 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


It appeared to be an intentional head shot by a person in suit jacket or sport coat, with French Cuffs and cuff links.

The shooter’s hand appears to the hand of a Black person and there is a bracelet around his wrist.

The shot appeared be a controlled kill shot to the victim’s
head, not a body centered shot.

As you noted an assassination!

Cover up in progress. Allegedly.

If, as has been interestingly alleged on other threads, the alleged assassin was an African-American woman, the likely alleged person-of-interest narrows remarkably allegedly considerably.

I saw an interview where they said that when antifa was fighting with the cops at the barricades the cops started shooting rubber bullets, tear gas and flash bangs over the heads of antifa into the crowd of protestors that weren't involved.

That fired a lot of people up.

Not anonymous. Howard Liebengood is most likely the murderer who killed Ashli Babbitt. Committed suicide or was suicided yesterday. Hardly any news. Other coo died of stroke or a heart attack, they won’t say, but he collapsed at his office.

In addition, HOWARD LIEBENGOOD I believe in the senate armed suit pictures is guy at far left. When you google his name or look at press releases, he was part of senate detail. Now look at pic in video of shooter with muzzle flash compare hair line to web image results, senate door photos and google. Looks like same guy.

The shooter dies, NO INVESTIGATION on Babbitt. Need to look into his politics, his wife’s, any suicide note, texts goodbye, all of it.

We would have had his name 5 days ago if this was a blm antifa unarmed shoot.

This is a coverup.
