Ashli Babbitt's family 'to sue Capitol Police'
World Net Daily ^ | April 27, 2021 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 04/27/2021 2:17:38 PM PDT by fwdude

Federal officials in Washington already have confirmed that a police officer at the U.S. Capitol – whose name still is being withheld – will not face any criminal charges for shooting and killing unarmed veteran Ashli Babbitt at the Jan. 6 riot.

But that person may be facing civil counts, according to a report in BizPacReview.

The publication said the confirmation came from a lawyer for the family of Babbitt in an interview with NewsMax who revealed the family will file civil charges "over the violation of her constitutional rights."

The lawyer, Terry Roberts, was being interviewed about the decision by the Department of Justice to pursue no charges against the officer.

About time.

The Capitol Police want to be Ashli Babbitt's judge, jury, and executioner. They started with "executioner."

Their excuse will be, "She was just a Trump supporter. You know, one of those people."

This is third-world style corruption.

Give her killer a fair trial, preferably outside of D.C.

Sue both the department and the individual. It’s done all the time.

When was the last time a police officer was successfully sued for what they did on the job? He has qualified immunity. And since the Capitol Police are an agency of Congress then they may have sovereign immunity. That'd be for the courts to sort out.

How long have you been sleeping? Officers have been tried for overdoing use of force for at least the last 8 years.

They're talking about a civil suit and not a criminal trial. There will be no criminal trial because the DOJ and the Capitol Police ruled the shooting was justified. All the family can due is sue for monetary damages and that's what they're planning to do. And they can't sue the shooter because he has qualified immunity. Sue the police force, they have the deep pockets.

why hasn’t the FBI opened an investigation into the violation of Ashli’s civil rights like they do with black shootings?

Ashli Babbitt’s killer as US Capitol Special Agent David Bailey — the same man who let US Rep. Steve Scalise get shot nearly to death in 2017.

The fact that the GOPee continues to allow this travesty of justice against Ashli Babbit and everyone else that is being persecuted by Deep State criminals simply for protesting The Big Steal on January 6th is a major reason I will never vote for a single one of the GOPee rocksuckers ever again. They can suck rocks from now until doomsday before I’ll ever vote for another one of their ilk. GOPee Delenda Est!

As I recall, within days the word was: “He had no choice.” See how easy that is.

Presumably because the officer was terrified and shaking as he knew Ashli might at any moment decide to walk ten steps backward, still facing away from him, and try to wrestle with him. So he had to take aim and shoot her in the back./SARC
