Capitol Police officer who shot Ashli Babbitt exonerated in internal probe

[calimary]

59. Totally! And a raise!

How was that officer possibly supposed to know she wasn’t armed and ready to do real damage - and maybe worse?

She ONLY tried to climb in over the heads of a crowd of menacing attackers through a broken window into a high security area already under seige by an active, violent, and uncontrolled mob of rioters and other assorted nogoodniks, many of whom WERE armed, wearing paramilitary gear, throwing fists, spraying bear spray and tear gas, outnumbering the police, attacking officers with their own shields (remember “shoot him with his own gun!”?), stealing documents l, “souvenirs” and stuff out of Congressional offices, tearing down barricades, breaking windows and furniture and creating wreckage and mayhem everywhere they went. That’s all.

ABSOLUTELY NO sympathy whatsoever. She got what she deserved. Period.
