The police officer who shot Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt dead has been suspended and the incident is currently under investigation.
Babbitt was shot in the neck at almost point blank range during yesterday’s chaos in DC during the storming of the Capitol building.
Footage of the shocking incident clearly shows that non-lethal measures could have been used against Babbitt, who served her country during a 14 year stint in the Air Force.
The officer who shot Babbitt, who was wearing a suit and positioned inside the Senate chamber when he opened fire, has now been suspended pending an investigation.
US Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund also said that there would be a “thorough review” of security measures following the incident.
Sund said in his statement that officers had acted “valiantly” against rioters who “actively attacked United States Capitol Police Officers and other uniformed law enforcement officers with metal pipes, discharged chemical irritants, and took up other weapons against our officers.”
As we highlighted earlier, some leftist commentators called for police to shoot Trump supporters before Babbitt was killed, while others gloated over her death on Facebook and Twitter.
Three other people died during the bedlam, but authorities have only revealed that they were killed as a result of “medical emergencies.”
Immediately after the shooting, mainstream media journalists such as Huffington Post’s Matt Fuller falsely claimed that Trump supporters were shooting into the chamber, when the opposite was true.
As was claimed by Mpls PD for Floyd.
CALLING 4CHAN!
Yep. It was celebrated when the teachers unions took over the WI house.
Don't give time for the party of follywood/voter fraud to cover it up.
Everybody, who wasn’t first taught to aim for the center of mass raise your hand.
Even in the Navy, we were trained to aim at the center of mass.
Many if not most of my navy peers were lucky to hit the target yet alone, a head shot.
Would not shed a tear if the same happened to this “officer”.
The only place I want to see this coward and murderer "suspended" from is a gallows.
Look up the NY Post article that shows 2 up-close videos of the murder.
Black man/woman/it shooting unarmed MAGA woman in Capitol Bldg? He/she/it was possibly not a cop/guard? How about maybe a congressit?

There were police outside the door when the woman was shot. They had long guns, wore black uniforms and did little to stop those attempting to get into the Capitol.
Suspended with pay. In other words, paid vacation.
I wish someone would tell the dishonest fags in the media that 14 years of honorable service in the USAF is not a “stint.”
Bunch of stupid POS fags, I swear.
Officer was a TSA wash-out.
Wear watch on right wrist—I’m left handed and do.
I’d say only woke snowflakes wear a bracelet that is not a KIA/POW memory bracelet.
That will be a difficult investigation since the crime scene was not preserved.
Was that the “Tango something something” person?
Watch the video where the gun goes off...shooter did NOT handle recoil well.
Never mind, that’s a different one doing the same thing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Thank you, agreed about wrongful use of the word civilian. We are citizens.
