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.
