WATCH: Ashli Babbitt and the deadly shooting at the Capitol riots
The link doesn’t work for me.
Plain and simple murder.
= = =
In the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, degree, and (Wo)Manslaughter in 1,2,and 3 also.
With a bunch of Civil Rights Violations sprinkled liberally (sorry) about.
They will claim that prosecuting a black man for killing an unarmed Trump supporter would be RACIST.
= = =
That black man should have declared himself white, or non-color, or non-man, or non-murderer, or some variant of 57 to the googleplex power, to clarify things.
If it has been ruled that the Capitol Police officer acted appropriately and within their Standard Operating Procedures, which has happened, then, under Qualified Immunity neither the “officer” nor the department can be sued.
My personal opinion is, it wasn’t a Capitol cop that did it.
If that shooting was not MURDER, then I am a Unicorn Bat.
Charging the gun and then firing it at Ms Babbitt was deliberate, calculated and completed in a matter of a few seconds. The leader of that particular assault is known.
Arrest him and capture the video, This is Murder ONE.
All Americans cannot rest until the “capitol policeman” is arrested, charged, tried, convicted and hanged!!!!!!!
They can be sued, and get discovery of the SOP and all evidence of the events leading up to the shooting, and argue that he did not follow SOP. If they can prove that he did, the case would be dismissed. But if plaintiffs prevail to at least show that the officer’s compliance, or lack thereof, with SOP, is a triable issue of fact, it goes on to further discovery, such as the name, badge number and service record of the officer.
Otherwise, SOP compliance rulings would give the police absolute power. We determined that the officer followed SOP, which clearly states, “anyone who looks at you cross-eyed, blow ‘em away!” The deceased was cross-eyed and looked at the officer. Case closed.
Makes sense.
Thankfully, when I was a cop I never had to deal with issues like this, nor did anyone I know.
But the skeptic in me says that they’re going to do everything in their power to keep the id of the shooter out of the public eye. Come up with some BS about national security or something. That’s where it’ll get interesting. Which leads me to believe the shooter isn’t Capitol Police.
Amazing how we supposedly have all these Champions of the People, in Congress, and yet they’re allowed to wrap themselves in such a tightly controlled security blanket where we have to pull teeth to find out what they do.
One of the things, easiest things, to shed some light on the whole thing would be through ballistics and some gun tracing. There will be no lying in that evidence.
Still would be nice to know who paid out what money to their sexual assault “victims”, but I guess we’ll never know that. Amazing.
"On March 4, 2021 the House approved the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act–effectively eliminating qualified immunity for all law enforcement officers from local to federal levels. To further enhance this bill, Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley and Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren introduced the Ending Qualified Immunity Act, banning qualified immunity for government officials on a local and state level."
And at a minimum, any Qualified Immunity assertion will not shield the shooter's name from disclosure.
Almost certainly will. Qualified immunity for police officers from civil suits has been established legal precedent for some time.
And at a minimum, any Qualified Immunity assertion will not shield the shooter's name from disclosure.
That may well be true. We'll find out.
"Of the 21 charged (arrested at "Peaches Party"), 16 sued the city and the (DC) police department over what they said were violations of their Fourth Amendment rights. They argued that police had no probable cause to arrest them, since officers had not adequately considered their claims that they had no idea Peaches was not legally allowed to use the house for the party. Those arrested said that since they assumed they were legitimately invited into a house by a person that lived there, they shouldn’t have been arrested or charged with trespassing.A judge (Wilkins) in the U.S. District Court for D.C. agreed with them. The judge also denied two of the arresting officers qualified immunity, which meant the officers could be held personally liable for the arrests. The court ruled that the two officers were on the hook for $680,000 in damages along with attorney fees. Altogether, the two officers were ordered to pay those arrested more than $1 million."
I don't think it's even remotely a slam dunk Qualified Immunity is granted at Federal District DC, by anything less than another trip to SCOTUS, at which point Resident Xiden may have mooted review by signing either the House or Senate "Big Gorge" Bill.
This whole story smells rotten. I would not be surprised if the government settles for an undisclosed (hundred million) and gets a NDA.
Here’s an interesting article about David Bailey:
US Capitol Special Agent David Bailey Who Murdered Ashli Babbitt is a Brazilian Immigrant and Black Lives Matter Militant — HE REPEATEDLY THREATENED TO KILL TRUMP SUPPORTERS ON FACEBOOK FOR MONTHS!
[Original headline was in all caps]
The story is at this link:

Somewhat. I know that the courts have ruled that if police officers violate the law in the performance of their duties then that could lead to them forfeiting implied immunity. The difference is that the DOJ has ruled there is no evidence of a crime on the part of the Babbitt shooter and no violation of her civil rights occurred. So if the shooter didn't violate the law then implied immunity should remain in place.
A Federal District DC Chief Judge and a promoted District-to-Appellate DC Judge -- both White Hut appointees who have expressed loathing towards Qualified Immunity -- and a clever attorney who has for an opponent, a deep-pocketed government who doesn't want to release the shooter's name.
This guy Roberts has them over a barrel.
Why is it imperative to keep this man’s identity secret? Because if it is revealed it will expose the fact that the CP hire radical black nationalists. A large black man could push a 100 pound woman back through the window. He decided to execute her instead in violation of any “use of force” doctrine. Sometimes officers discharge their weapons because they are in fear of their lives. This officer was under no such stress. “The killer knows that he’s as safe as a kitten...at least until 1/20/25”
