Justice Department ordered to answer for Jan. 6 killing of Ashli Babbitt

No difference between Ashli Babbit and Michael Brown.

Except Michael Brown had his hands up and wasn't a threat at the moment he was murdered.

Ass-hat Babbit was a threat, because she was part of an angry mob trying to kill Congress.

Michael Brown did not have his hands up. After using his hands to rough up a brown immigrant, he went after an arresting officer’s service revolver during arrest. “Hands up don’t shoot” is a mantra that everyone should live by.

There was no imminent danger to the officers as no weapon was ever seen in the hands of Babbitt. Now, if Byrd had seen a weapon, and she tried to get through the window and he shot her, that would be a different story.



No, that’s not what I’m saying. There is a time and a place for deadly force, that time is when there is an imminent danger of death or serious injury. At the time, babbit didn’t represent an imminent danger, as she wasn’t holding a weapon.

Other measures should have been employed long before it got to the point of needing to discharge a firearm.

Nobody else was shot that day, despite violence breaking out at multiple places and officers even skirmishing with protesters. They all used other measures to fight the riot.

So folks trying to break into Congressional Chambers is not considered as an imminent danger or threat?
