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

The videos that she recorded, the rants she made in her car, were extremely deranged. This was a nut. Also, people here keep pretending they still don't know what QAnon is, and claim it has no real world consequences. Well, this woman they're defending here was a huge Q supporter:

Right, but none of this was known until she was shot, and the internet took a deep dive into who she is. Sounds just like the Rittenhouse thing, where people were happy Rittenhouse killed a sex offender, a man with numerous assault and battery charges to his record, and maiming another guy with a record with an illegal pistol.

I watched her videos before they were deleted and they fucked me up, she seemed deeply troubled and in need of friends to talk sense into her.

Fuck trumpism, that shit is poison.
 
Totally with you on that. I just look at it like, that dude has to be atleast 200 lbs, and you would think he would just drag the bitch through the door, or knock her in the face with the bottom of a flag stand, or fire a warning shot first. Just seems pretty brutal that he got her in the neck, when he was like a couple feet from her, you'd think he could atleast give her one to the dome, so she doesn't choke on her own blood. Seemed like a step was missed from verbal warning to killshot.

I think of you take a look at what happened to the other officers who had attempted to physically stop the mob of rioters from barging through barriers without deadly force, it didn’t work. They didn't have close to the numbers to safely and effectively wrestle 1x1 in close contact with a mob. The mob would see that they can continue pushing forward and attacking without dire consequences and thus more rioters would get motivated to charge the cops and politicians.

It wasn’t just the threat Babbitt alone posed, it was overall threat of the violent mob behind her that she was leading through a barrier protecting them.

Touchè
 
oh.... so was it alright to release these names?
  • Officer Darren Wilson
  • Officer Derek Chauvin
  • Officer Nicholas Reardon
They were all immediately identified and demonized, while key facts were withheld. That is not the case here. Why is that? Double Standard.
Not so fun when the double standard doesn't go your way, is it?

Meanwhile right-wingers bitch about gov't overreach while also also supporting the patriot act and the war on drugs. morons.

Uhmm did you even watch the shooting? She wasn't by herself. It was an entire mob of people rushing in through barricades.
 
Thought this an insightful article:

If the UN is looking for human rights abuses, don’t go past DC: Devine

Secretary of State Anthony Blinken disrespected his own country on the world stage recently when he invited the United Nations to come here and investigate human-rights abuses such as racism.

Well, if he wants to go down that track, the UN investigators won’t have to go past Washington to find one of the worst human-rights abuses around.

Blinken and Attorney General Merrick Garland have turned a blind eye to the injustice of dozens of Jan. 6 detainees still locked up, without trial, often in solitary confinement. Even people charged with no violent offenses are being treated worse than murderers.

Now a group of valiant lawyers for the “January Sixers” have written a last-ditch letter to Amnesty International and the American Civil Liberties Union asking them to “investigate the mistreatment and torture of pretrial detainees held in the District of Columbia jail over the last six months.”

They have catalogued shocking abuses.

“In addition to prolonged solitary confinement, January Sixers are being beaten, denied medical treatment, denied regular shower access, as well as reasonable access to personal hygiene item . . . It is clear that January Sixers constitutional rights are being violated at DC-GITMO, within five miles of the White House . . .

“This letter is an emergency request to help us put an end to the human-rights violations taking place at . . . ‘DC- GITMO’ — violations which without question meet the definition of torture,” write the lawyers, Joseph McBride Steven Metcalf and Martin Tankleff.

They point out that “none of the detainees or those released pending trial have been charged with insurrection, despite the media, leaders in Congress, and the President of the United States calling it an insurrection. “However . . . our call for help . . . would remain the same. This is because pretrial detainees are being tortured while in federal custody in violation of Supreme Court precedent, as well as the UN Standard Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, otherwise known as the Nelson Mandela Rules . . .

“The Supreme Court . . . has ruled that pretrial detainees, unlike convicted persons, cannot be punished at all, never mind maliciously and sadistically.”

You can condemn what the January Sixers did that day all you want, but turning a blind eye to injustice and sadism committed in our name only hurts us all in the end.

People that are locked up have been saying stuff like this for years.
What is the usual response from the right when this is brought up?
Well you shouldn’t have broken the law and don’t drop the soap!
 
And this has to do with the topic how?

I almost want to give them this one.

These women bullied a kid, they're fucking psychos.

The only reason I'm hesitant is that it's a Ngo tweet, but I haven't figured out the grift yet, and actual reporters have written on it.

We should mark the date, this could be the only time Ngo has been right about anything.
 
This video has a lot of footage of the whole thing.

Most police departments — including Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police — are required to release an officer’s name within days of a fatal shooting. Not the U.S. Capitol Police, which is controlled by Congress and answers only to Congress. It can keep the public in the dark about the identity and investigation of an officer involved in a shooting indefinitely.

Which is what happened with the Jan. 6 shooting of Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed protester in the U.S. Capitol riot who was fatally wounded by a plainclothes police lieutenant as she attempted to breach a set of doors inside the building.


...

In a little-noticed exchange, Byrd was cited by the acting House sergeant at arms during a brief discussion of the officer who shot Babbitt at a Feb. 25 House hearing. Both C-SPAN and CNN removed his name from transcripts, but CQ Transcripts — which, according to its website, provides “the complete word from Capitol Hill; exactly as it was spoken” — recorded the Capitol official, Timothy Blodgett, referring to the cop as “Officer Byrd.” His name is clearly audible in the videotape of the hearing (see video embed further below).

....

Following the shooting, Byrd’s Internet footprint was scrubbed, including his social media and personal photos.


=================================================================

It was what I said it would be. The Leftists / Establishment withheld the name and refused to be transparent, because reality was the wrong narrative. It doesn't match the propaganda the MSM and Big Tech constantly push for the Democratic Party's benefit.

Byrd is the same idiot that left his loaded weapon in a bathroom.

The justification they gave for the shooting was terrible.

Capitol Police defended Byrd in a statement, saying “the lieutenant did not know if protesters were armed” and that he “believed his life was in danger.”


You don't get to "believe you are in danger" and kill someone as a officer of the law. You have to know you are in danger. You have to see a weapon or other indications that life is being threatened directly by the target. That was 100% not the case.

I don't give a rip about the man's color. Clearly that is not the case with the Leftists and those in power. The narrative was not what they wanted. He had no business shooting his gun and murdering that woman. She is no different that George Floyd except she was not on drugs, did not resist arrest (never given the change), and she was summarily executed.

Police don't get to shoot unarmed people and walk.... unless you are shooting the people that disagree with the Establishment and the Left. Otherwise, we could have seen hundreds of ANTIFA / BLM members gunned down throughout the U.S.A.

Double standard is again in play when it comes to the Left / Establishment.
If she hadn't been stopped, she would have led the charge towards the Congress members and other elected officials. That was the last line of defense. He hit her with the one hitter quitter and the other chuds had second thoughts. That was why he took the shot and the other officers didn't.
 
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.
True. And this is why it's good to be consistent and principled. I've embarrassed a few right wingers here who just assumed I was a double-standard having hypocrite and then I showed my posting history which proves that I have a clear and consistent standard on this.
