Did you notice the entire heavily armed tactical team within six feet of Babbit who didn’t seem to think she was much of a threat? They took no action until after she was shot. The only person who seems to have thought she was a threat was the guy who had the habit of forgetting his duty weapon in public restrooms. The first incident would have gotten him a long suspension without pay or terminated in any real police department. Instead the Capital Police ignored the serious safety violation. As far as I can find out, the Capital Police have never prosecuted any officer for misconduct towards a taxpayer.
Let's do the math, of presidents to small business owners. There have been 46 presidents, and there are currently 33,185,550 small businesses in the US. Take the number of presidents assassinated, and that would be the equivalent of 3 million small business owners being killed.IMHO the owner of a convenience store in America is every bit as important as any "leader" when it comes to violence from violent rioters. This view may be disputed, but I hold to my beliefs.
That is wrong. The kidnapped members of congress would have to resign, in order to be replaced. So until then, congress grinds to a halt for lack of legislative authority.For about forty eight hours until the various governors appointed temp replacements and they flew to DC.
I can debate this shooting till the cows come home. Only a fool would assume that an officer, with no direct imminent harm to himself, with no weapon visible, with multiple other officers standing by with a multitude of non lethal options....could just run up and shoot the woman in the face.... For some reason the location of this shooting makes it a "special case". "Hollowed ground", "Our most important politicians", etc... Bull hockey!!! A business owner in the midst of a riot has every bit the constitutional protections of these politicians in the peoples house. Saying that it's OK to just shoot a rioter in the face because they were rioting in the wrong place ( the place where elitist politicians were) is simply un American IMHO
I must beg to differ. Any business has only limited effect on the country. Where an attack on any of the three branches of government, can bring the country to a standstill. Just look at the chaos when Ronald Reagan was shot. You had the secretary of state at the white house saying that he was in charge.
I guess George Floyd should have known that.
I have posted the video at least a dozen times.
Show me your proof. I was not addressing the start at all.
The violence started with Trump's thugs who knocked out a cop at one of the outer barricades.
These idiots would be the first to shoot if they had a gun and a violent mob was smashing in the windows to break in and started coming into their home.
I saw video of 3 cops walking down those stairs. Proving there was no danger to the criminal cop who murdered Ashli.

There were at least five guys in tactical gear with long guns in that stairwell as well as two in civilian suits at the top of the stairwell, none of them looked like they felt threatened by the demonstrators. It looks like they were waiting for a distraction before moving in one the crowd. The two in suits were within touching distance of Ashli. None of them fired shots and they weren’t behind locked and barricaded doors like Byrd.And by the 'entire heavily armed tactical team', you mean the two guys who were outnumbered 10 to 1. The one's that surrendered the door after being confronted by an angry mob?
Ashley was part of a violent mob breaking down doors trying to get to members of congress. A cop stopped the mob.
This is where perspective makes a difference. To the officers in the hall, the crowd was moving away from them, to Byrd and the officers behind the barricade, the crowd was moving toward them.There were at least five guys in tactical gear with long guns in that stairwell as well as two in civilian suits at the top of the stairwell, none of them looked like they felt threatened by the demonstrators.

according to Pew surveys the BLM protests became more peaceful over time. Between May 25 and June 4, 2020, 89% of protest demonstrations were non-violent while later between June and September 2020 more than 96% of BLM associated protests were non-violent [16].
As a candidate, the next president presented a most rational statement on the violence.That excuses the months of burning, looting, and murdering?
If Benedict Donald had called his rally on any other day than when Congress had to count the EC votes from the States, she would likely still be alive.Yes! This small unarmed woman could have never been stopped by any other means.

Once the tip of the spear ripped a hole in the barricade a flood of violent protesters would be next. It was the last barricade. The doors to the Chamber were not barricaded or guarded. Obviously deadly force was necessary to hold back the surging savages as they began to break through the last barricade.
F-ed around and found out.HOP, POP, DROP & FLOP
Ashli could have stayed home.He could have fired a warning shot into the wall.
^Perfect example of white privilege and how it means white people should get the benefit of the doubt no matter what they do.A small woman climbing through a window. Perhaps kicking her face? Using a chair to smack her in the face, and countless other ways that are typically used to stop criminals before shooting them in the neck? Every bullet that anyone shoots, is a bullet that he alone is accountable for...."Be sure of your target and what is behind it"... that lesson went right out the "window" in Byrd's mind when he killed this woman. Actually he is fortunate that that bullet did not injure other people (or even himself for that matter).
