A distraction from the Kabul massacre.

Or vice versa.

I’d like to hear some video proving he was racially taunted and that people were saying they wanted to cut off his head.

Poor sod was put out there by Dem CCP Operatives. I wonder how ling it will be before the usual FBI hitmen take him out and a Trump voter patsy is framed?

"Nobody killed the pinko protestors who occupied Wisconsin’s capitol building in 2011."

Not only that, the police were ordered to stand down, as they were with CHAZ last year in Seattle.

I think they’re also deliberately doing it to send us a message. We can do this to you with impunity and you better not forget it.

You never will— this a@@clown is “veteran” campus cop with limited intellect who strikes a lot of people as “al sharpton” with a badge. Knee jerk.... because “racism” which is not even the correct word.

Flipped the other way— would a white capitol cop shoot a black who yelled “honkie” as they crawled through a broken window, unarmed. When any ONE of the cops there could have... could have TASED the intruder. Deadly force has been what this idiot has been wanting to do all his life. A very stupid person— of ANY color.

Yes! Lester Holt felt the need to ask whether the flak he was taking from the public included racist remarks, and, of course, "why, now that you ask, yes." And Holt felt no need to then ask if he would have shot Ashley Babbit if she was a black woman.

I really felt as though he looked like a dullard.

No, he did it, alright. Apparently some of the officers on the scene talked to the press on Jan 6 or 7, and all the details about the murder were published at that time, including who it was. The stories disappeared very soon as the media went into cover-up mode.

I believe they sue the Department and interestingly the Department is managed by none other than Pelosi.

Not really. The Capitol Police are managed by the Capitol Police Board.

But, the murder maybe a horse of a different color.

Not really. The Supreme Court ruled years ago that police officers enjoy limited liability from lawsuits when they're performing their duty.

Can Congress and Pelosi be sued?

Interesting question but I suspect not. Otherwise Congress would be snowed under by millions of lawsuits a year.

Also if you are from Oklahoma, would you all get rid of the GOP asshat that called this racist killer a hero.

I'm from Missouri. I don't think any of my GOP asshats have weighed in.

Tucker also stated that the officer did not holler out warnings, even though he says he did. This is important. There are tapes. And, he was surrounded by people who know. And, if he saw Ashley Babbitt, he must have seen the security around her, even closer to her than he was.

"Consider what would have happened had a white officer shot a black BLM “non-violent protestor” in similar circumstances? We’d have that officer fired and incarcerated without bail pending trial on murder charges."

"Like with Breonna Taylor?"

You really want to go there?

Ok.

The no-knock warrant was converted to knock-and-announce at the squad meeting that evening.

The 3 police knocked-and-announced. Repeatedly.

Having overheard the commotion, old black man upstairs ran out on the stair landing and told them to be leavin' that girl alone.

That's how the grand jury knew the 3 had knocked-and-announced, thus eliminating Castle Doctrine

Mattingly was first through the door. Walker shot Mattingly in the leg and nearly killed him.

Cosgrove physically yanked Mattingly out of the way and fired back, killing St. Bre, as the cowardly Walker dived out of the way.

When questioned, Walker blamed St. Bre for firing the shot.

Cameron handled the grand jury masterfully.

St. Bre's momma walked away with 12M in taxpayer monies.

Case closed. Until Mattingly publishes "The Fight For Truth: The Inside Story Behind the Breonna Taylor Tragedy." I'll sit on that thread and LOL at posts like yours til the cows come home.

The headline you would never see in today's America, although it is completely accurate:

The guiltiest in the murder of Ashlee Babbitt is the sick government puke who signed off on this retardate carrying a firearm. This idiot should have been armed at most with a Nerf dodge ball and a whistle.

The payout to the Babbitt family needs to come from the salaries and pensions of Capitol Police members, not the taxpayers.

He came out to help Pelosi’s house investigation. She thinks this will save them in 2022

Why not? Both victims were unarmed. Both were present where a crime was being committed. Both could be considered to be committing a criminal action when shot. Neither was a threat to the officer doing the shooting or anyone else when they were shot. Both shootings were ruled to be justified.
