An attorney representing the family of slain Capitol Building protestor Ashli Babbitt clapped back at the Justice Department after officials announced Wednesday there would be no charges filed against the plainclothes officer who shot and killed her on Jan. 6.
“The shooting of Ashli Babbitt on January 6, 2021 by an unidentified U.S. Capitol Police Officer was an unjustified use of deadly force which violated her constitutional rights,” said attorney Terrell N. Roberts, III, of Roberts & Woods in Riverdale, Md.
“It is clear from video footage that Ashli did not pose a danger to the officer, or any other person, when she was shot. Ashli was unarmed. She did not assault anyone. She did not threaten to harm anyone. There was no excuse for taking her life,” he added.
Roberts said that it’s “a universal law enforcement standard” that police officers are not supposed to use more force than is required to subdue a suspect or “accomplish a lawful purpose,” noting that Babbitt was small in stature at 5′ 2″ tall and 110 pounds and speculating that she could have been arrested “by a single officer with a set of handcuffs.”

Do they have immunity from civil suit?
Maybe it was premeditated???
Federal Civil Rights lawsuits are common when a person has been deprived of life through LEO action.
If she had survived, she would have been charged with sedition and other federal charges....
Unreal !!!!!!
On a side topic, if DC residential and business areas becomes a fake state instead of being returned to Maryland, in which court will cases on federal property occur and who might then be called as jurors? I think it would be fair to randomly pick a state to hold a trial on behalf of the federal district--it would be absolutely unfair to American citizens to hold them in the former district and equally so to simply do so in adjacent Maryland or Virginia. Let's see rioters--BLM or whover face a judge or jury trial in some small midwest or western community of their citizen peers.
Even the president can go to prison.
this is so f’d up.
“Even the president can go to prison.”
Wishful thinking, but you know it’s not going to happen. He’s a usurper with immunity.
WHY do we keep playing by THEIR RULES?
SAY HIS NAME!!! David Bailey...

Blacks and Antifa are above all laws.
the MSM does not cover rapes or murders of WHITE children.
EVER.
The DO”J” let cities burn by Blacks and Antifa,
but locks in solitary any WHITE MAN trying to stop them
from breaking into the Capitol.
The Blackman waited and shot the WHITE woman,
and the DO”J” has given a GREEN LIGHT for race war,
while it does NOTHING about pedophiles and child killers
of whom it collects TAPES.
Well first he’d be impeached then removed from office then tried for whatever crimes?
If we had an honest DoJ, Both Biden and Son would have been in jail years ago.
Biden and the democrats are crooked. They are trying to let this clown slip by. It does not matter that he committed 1st degree murder on camera. The DOJ under the democrats will try to ignore that. If she was black and the officer was white, they would go after him with everything they had for the vote getting propaganda. Everything the democrats do is only skin deep.
Or following a trial, conviction and sentencing for treason, even go to the gallows.
“Well first he’d be impeached then removed from office then tried for whatever crimes?”
What are the chances of that happening? Our Republican party couldn’t even protect our own legitimate voting process. How could they possibly have the gumption to stand up to the criminal Democratic party and impeach senile Biden, who is a joke to America? Call me a skeptic. I have waited for something to happen, and nothing. I am very disallusioned.
and angry
So would Hillary.
That’s true. I didn’t think of that angle.
