Crime Naming the Capitol Cop Who Killed Unarmed Jan. 6 Rioter Ashli Babbitt

The Ashley Babbit case is interesting because it leads to a reversal of the usual positions when it comes to cops shooting unarmed people. Right wingers are normally very quick to justify such shootings but here suddenly her being unarmed means she was definitely innocent despite her trying to breach a barricade in the middle of a riot on Capital Hill.

On the other hand some on the left suddenly realized that merely being unarmed doesn't mean you weren't a threat and have had no qualms justifying this shooting.

As far as I am concerned it was a good shoot, she shouldn't have been there and the cops showed remarkable restraint. I think you guys trying to make this out to be police brutality are embarrassing yourselves as bad as the left does when it decides to bat for some career criminal that gets justifiably shot by cops.
 
It's sad that you laugh when a group was trying to invalidate the voices of 81 million Americans. Trying to invalidate the results of an election to keep someone in power that lost is some 3rd world Communist bullshit, which the Republicans were attempting to do.

Invalidate it with selfies sticks and Maga flags?

Here's a picture of them trying to beat down the doors

As someone who generally leans right of center, which obviously makes me a racist, bigot, Nazi, transphobe Sherfronter to half the War Room - I have issues with both sides here.

To the people calling it an "insurrection" - get real. Spew your laughably dishonest propaganda all you want, nobody with an actual brain believes your nonsense. In a country with an estimated 400 million guns, an "insurrection" of thousands had exactly ONE gun recovered. Imagine thinking that a bunch of people without guns were going to "overthrow democracy" - pardon me while I, and others, laugh at how stupid you sound and how dumb you are for believing and parroting such fairy tales.

On the shooting of Ashli, sure it sucks she died, but idk what people expect. Was she unarmed? Yes she was, did the cops know that? Without searching her it would be impossible to know. If I remember correctly she had a backpack on, she could have had a gun, bomb, or other weapon on her.

I'm not sure why the armed cops on the stairs right behind her didn't deal with her, and didn't see her as the same threat as the officer who shot her, but I have some difficulty understanding why people who lean right have an issue with her death.

The cop should be named, just like all the other cops involved in high profile incidents usually are, either by their department, witnesses or media.

The double standards need to stop, and this applies to both sides.

The "insurrection" nonsense fairytales need to stop as well. There was exactly ONE shot fired during this supposed "insurrection" and it was by the cop who killed Ashli. Stop the dishonest pearl clutching and hand wringing- "But but but but, they were trying to overthrow Democracy!!!"

As if.

more sedition than insurrection, but you’re dwelling too much on what the realistic probability of them being successfully in overthrowing the election results was as a means to ignore their intent.

Sure, a logical person saw their attempt to “stop the steal” as unlikely to achieve it’s goal, but by no means does that change the fact the mob beat cops and were searching the halls for high ranking politicians because they truly believed they could stop the certification and buy time for Trump to “release the kraken” and take back the presidency.
 
As far as I am concerned it was a good shoot, she shouldn't have been there and the cops showed remarkable restraint.
Agreed, at some point a line needed to be drawn. We can't keep giving people a free pass to do what they want just because they say they are exercising their right to assemble.
 
I must have missed the part where thousands of deranged Democrats invaded the capitol in order to stop the certification reality tv hosts 2016 win?

They rioted at Trump inauguration.

Then the charges got dropped.

So as we see there is a double standard because leftists only morality is maximizing their own power.
 
Whataboutism from TS straight away
Pathetic, paying with a counterfeit $20 bill = storming the capitol according to this shithead.

Can we just admit that conservatives are nothing but a bunch of stupid dishonest and actually evil twats?

You're just as big of a dishonest hack as @Whippy McGee

I sure hope you are just trolling. Otherwise, wow you're a dumbass.

Thanks for the pic and to unwittingly make your argument even worse. Who has the guns?

Can everyone imagine if this is how ANTIFA / BLM rioters were treated? This dumbass, @jefferz, would be shitting himself.
 
And you're cocksucking Trump the orange man...That's the only reason people would want this guys name release, so terrorist insurrectionist could get their revenge.
Oh shut the hell up idiot. You don't have any morals or outrage, just orange man bad. Asking for transparency from law enforcement when it comes to unarmed people being killed shouldn't be a bipartisan thing, but here you are like a good little lemming.
 
So basically what you are saying is no they didn't invade the capitol in an effort to overturn the election?
He's trying to avoid saying that he wishes the insurrectionists had succeeded.

You are just as dumb and basically the same. She did get what she deserved.
 
How many police officers were injured? How much property was damaged/stolen? Did they spread human feces all over?
I wasn't aware being an insurrectionist that is interfering with a democratic process needs to do all that. From I hear no churches were set on fire in either instance.

She didn't deserve to be shot in the head. The cop also wasn't in the wrong. This was a tragic day in American history and the people responsible for it (for the most part) aren't being held accountable.
