Newsweek ^ | 4/29/21 | David Martosko, Zenger News

The family of Ashli Babbitt—the only person shot during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol—plans to sue the U.S. Capitol Police department, and the officer who shot her, for at least $10 million, their attorney said.

The civil suit will follow a decision by federal prosecutors not to seek criminal charges against a plainclothes police lieutenant whose single shot killed Babbitt, who was unarmed.

The attorney hired by Ashli Babbitt's family's now knows the name of the Capitol Police officer who shot her.

This is another of Newsweek's occasional attempts to provide actual journalism.

Some are saying contrary to rumors, the shooter was not
a D. Bailey. Is that who you’re thinking of?
Of course these days, so many high positioned people lie to your face, so who knows?

If George Floyd could be on Fentanyl and was under arrest and get $27 million, the minimum Babbitt’s family should ask for is $50 million

The family of the Floyd scumbag got $27 million; Ashli’s family deserves $50 million, at least.

Not a trespasser, was invited in by the Capitol Police who held open the doors. In fact, the Capitol police were standing right behind her. This was a rogue shooter.

Rioter...what utter b.s. The woman was doing NOTHING when the black D.C. cop (still unnamed)shot her. Then they carried her out upside down like a sack of potatoes. 14 year veteran and STRIPPED of a military burial by the current traitors.

I think the Capitol Police should have identified the shooter, whether or not he is David Bailey.

If it turns out to be Bailey, then the Capitol Police will probably explain that they could not release Bailey's name because they were afraid that he would be lynched by Trump supporters. The MSM will take that slander seriously, and will view it as a perfectly adequate justification for the stonewalling.

If it is the case that Senators and Pence were sheltering past the blocked doors she was trying to enter with the crowd, this is going nowhere.
