Something to keep in mind.

There were policemen with guns and a man in a suit right beside her.

Don't miss the part where the police officer with the long gun that was behind her! He gave a "Thumbs Up" to someone who was down the hall way.

He broke cover to move closer to her to get a better shot. Murder.

It’s hard to say from the video.

I will really be surprised if any charges are brought against the shooter. Probably the authorities in DC are trying to find a way to charge Trump with murder in this case. After all, by encouraging the people to come to Washington on January 6th he set in motion the chain of events that led to her death.

I just called this clown’s office and left a voice message. I asked him what happened to the “accidental discharge” explanation, and if he was now saying that the shooting was intentional. I also said that Ashli Babbitt had served four tours of duty, and died at the same place that had sent her on those tours. Before the recording ended, I made clear that the video showed she was the only one at the door when she was shot, that the Congressman’s comment that people were going to be breaking through the door was Bull$hit, and that in fact, no one was paying attention to Ashli, as all others were milling about, with most of them having their back toward her. People only turned around in that direction when they heard the report of the gun, wondering where it had come from.

There’s not a single freeper who would have said the same thing if the person shot had been an ANTIFA or BLM attempting to break into the House.

You appear to have a FRiend/Foe problem. There could be a pill for that.

This reeks of a set up.
How did they get in?
How come some hallways were blocked off but
some leading to a kill zone.
There were LEOs in amongst the people in the hallway,
were they moving them to a prepared ambush?
Someone lifted her up to the window, she may of
had no choice...

Too many questions.
And now this vilification of Trump, it’s what
communists DO.

Capitol Hill Police shot a black woman from behind, five times, in 2013.

Her name was Miriam Carey and her child was in her car with her.

Maybe blame her parents, or the delivery doctor, they started this.

“She went looking for trouble and found it. I’m not shedding any tears that she got her wish (death).”

Your sense of justice does surprise me a little.

Don’t forget, everyone in the crowd is an accessory
to murder so lock them up too...
Anyone who questions the government is an insurrectionist
so include them too...

The deluge begins it’s descent.
It’s only a matter of time before we are swept up
and washed away.

Once you draw your weapon, you have no choice but to shoot at someone? They were lucky she was white.

“You have a police officer who shot an unarmed person who was not posing an imminent threat to the life or safety of the officer or any people around her, and you expect the police officer to be charged and convicted of murder?”

You distilled it down about as good as possible.

Good job.

"Yesterday did prove one thing, though. It showed that the police can kill a protester without triggering a night of arson-fueled riots in every major city."

And it also proved that if you are a Capitol Policeman, you will be protected and your crime will be covered up, whereas, if you're a poor slob cop on the beat in a large Democrat-run city, if you shoot someone in self defense, you'll be brow-beaten, arrested, charged, and tried for muder, not to mention losing your job, your reputation, and perhaps down the road, even your life. Nothing will happen to the officer who murdered Ashli Babbitt. You can count on that. The Democrats, and whatever Democrat Congress big-wig he was working for, will make sure of that.

This was cold-blooded MURDER, nothing less. The GOP is dead to me, except only as I can use my registration to wreck havoc on primary candidates

I have seen such comments many times on this site. But like bitten wife syndrome they always go back and vote rinos, give money to rnc, keep watching fox, etc.
