ith Ashli Babbitt Killing Shrouded in Mystery, Capitol Officer Who Shot Her Is in Hiding for His Own Safety
Real Clear Investigations ^ | 2.24.21 | Paul Sperry

Posted on 02/24/2021 7:46:50 AM PST by Sam's Army

All told, seven people died in connection with the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6. But only Ashli Babbitt’s death was directly caused by violence that day. She was a rioter killed by a Capitol Police officer, who fired the only shot by any person during the 4½-hour siege. Yet the story of who he is and why he opened fire remains shrouded in mystery.

More than six weeks after Babbitt succumbed to a single gunshot wound to the upper chest, authorities are keeping secret the identity of the officer who fired the fatal round. They won’t release his name, and the major news media aren’t clamoring for it, in stark contrast to other high-profile police shootings of unarmed civilians.

The secrecy has fueled Internet reports misidentifying the shooter as a Capitol Police special agent previously commended by President Trump for bravery. The false rumors have triggered threats against the officer.

She. Wasn’t. Black.

I never said she was - must be some one else you were replying to.

True, but she was NG or Reservist and both still require Line of Duty for ANY death benefits.

“Gushing blood” was caused by the blood bag the “medic” planted - these are commonly used in movies to simulate gunshot wounds - if you look closely in the 21 minute video, you can see the planting.

Which guy in the video was this FReeper? If he will not say, then is not to be believed.

I just read his first hand narrative.

This is what I have to say concerning it...

If you ask 10 different witnesses as to what they saw - you will get 12 different answers.

Where is the transparency?....Can anyone name another cop involved killing where the cop was unidentified and actively protected by authorities?...instead we are told this cop is a hero?....where is the ceremony and presentation of the medal of Freedom or whatever?....this whole scenario stinks to high heaven...rules for rats are different from rules for nonrats...

Confused here. We know of Ashley Babbitt and the police officer who had a stroke. Who are the other five people? Why haven’t we heard of them? Were they police, demonstrators, or unfortunate bystanders?

Wiki --> "As of 2020, the USCP has an annual budget of more than $460 million and employs more than 2000 police officers, making it one of the most well-funded and well-staffed police departments relative to the two square miles that it guards."

TWO THOUSAND officers and it came down to ONE lieutenant standing between the mob and Congress. Doesn't pass the smell test at all.

I thought she was completely separated, but I could be wrong.

Where were the other 1,999 US Capitol police? Did he have to shove the mob back by himself?

This entire event - staged or not - makes for great conspiracy theories.

I do believe one reason why the left has refused to provide details is to increase the right wing conspiracy theories. Obama was a master at stirring the pot. He did it with his own birth certificate. And especially with Sandy Hook.

I’ve always said the most amazing, unbelievable and astounding conspiracy theories out there regarding Sandy Hook were no more amazing and unbelievable than the many various conflicting and contradictory official government versions of the truth that they were spewing out daily.

Our government lies to us. Even when the truth would serve them better, they lie.

I’ll bet it wasn’t a cop.

He didn't look like a cop. My guess is a body guard. There is a pretty good screenshot of him floating around here someplace. White guy. I'm surprised Reddit hasn't ID'd him yet.

They were folks who suffered heart attacks, strokes, and had other issues. It's like when a storm comes through. Every death during the storm gets tagged as a storm-related death -- even if the obese nitwit dropped dead shoveling his driveway.

Come to think of it, it's kind of like most of the COVID-related deaths.

The only violence-related death was the murder of Ashli...

No warning shot?

She was 1/2 his size and at least 1/2 a minute getting through that barricade. In no immanent threat but partially concealed, he waited, deliberately drew down, advanced, and fired.

That’s how it looked to me.

But it might have been fake— the lack of any court filings tends to support that theory. I hope it was.

Ashli Babbitt was the only person who’s death is connected to overrunning the Congressional building.

None of the other deaths have been shown to be connected to the Congressional building.

The police officer’s autopsy showed no physical injury. He was NOT hit by a fire extinguisher.

It was said that one was trampled to death in the crowd, that was later denied.

Police officers said it was planned ahead of time. They have evidence supporting that.

I doubt that Ashli Babbitt was involved in the plan. (not defending her actions)

The FBI will never reveal the truth about it.
