Officer Who Shot Ashli Babbitt Revealing Identity in Interview

[Persuader]

You should be the attorney at the criminal trial.

My bad. He was already cleared. Never mind.

A political fix nothing more.

You know as we all know if the victim had been a black unarmed woman shot by a white cop he would be in jail without bail awaiting trial.

 

[Asclepias]

No she was simply exercising the right all americans have...to protest.

You protest peacefully outside. That bitch was trying to overthrow the vote. She got shot End of story.

 

[Asclepias]

A political fix nothing more.

You know as we all know if the victim had been a black unarmed woman shot by a white cop he would be in jail without bail awaiting trial.

Whatever works for you. Just make sure you spread the word to the other clowns that dont know. There is more Babbit like solutions waiting for them if they dare attack the capitol again.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

The Biden In-Justice department held a closed door inquiry with zero press coverage.
That's how you know the Babbett killing was whitewashed.
The hearing was about as transparent as a brick wall. That's how the CCP does things.

 

[Persuader]

He'd put a hot one in your inbred trog ass too.

No--he was a coward and would not dare go after anyone capable of defending themselves.

He claims he was a hero and very courageous and saved the lives of hundreds...obviously delusional.

How much courage does it take to shoot a unarmed woman whilst you hide behind a barricade with several other cops none of whom were so stupid to fire their weapons?

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Not likely. I'd never engage in a Capitol Insurrection

There was no insurrection. Didn't you hear?
And there were hundreds of people there that day trespassing and raising a ruckus.

Yet out of all those people only one protestor was murdered in cold blood....Ashli Babbett.

Apparently only she constituted a special threat that could only be fixed with a bullet through
her neck. Figure it out, asshole!

 

[Lesh]

You are more likely to get killed by one of your bros.

My bros?

Who would they be?

The fucker lied and seconds after shooting Ashley Babbett six or seven Capitol police officers came up
the stairs. Watch the video. WATCH: Woman Fatally Shot in U.S. Capitol, Live Stream Video Shows

Yea? And had she gotten through that window they'd been too late

'I know that day I saved countless lives': Capitol officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt steps forward

"I know members of Congress, as well as my fellow officers and staff, were in jeopardy and in serious danger," said Lt. Michael Byrd of Jan. 6.

www.usatoday.com

Utter bullshit! A complete lie. Contemptible dishonesty.
I hope he winds up so deep in debt he never sees the light of day again.

 

[Lesh]

Well? Who are these "bros" you racist piece of shit.

Yea...well I'm a white guy

I guess the next thing Persuader is gonna accuse me of is being "race traitor"?

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Yea? And had she gotten through that window they'd been too late

Watch the video, dick sucker! Seconds after the needless cowardly gun shot DC police reinforcements
came up those steps.
Michael Byrd says I know I saved countless lives...that's a lie from a piece of shit cop
with a checkered record of duty. Gfy.

 

[woodwork201]

Why do you think being unarmed means that a person cannot be a threat. Can you please cite or reference some law somewhere that shows where you all obtained this belief?

And how would the cop have known she was unarmed? She was part of a rioting group of .. well.. rioters.

The hypocrisy on both sides of this amazes me. Those who blame the cops every time they shoot a criminal suddenly defend the cop who shot Babbitt. Those who defend the cops and suggest they should have shot Antifa rioters suddenly attack the cops for shooting someone who turns out to be unarmed.

The only honest views would be for those who attack the cops to attack this cop and for those who defend the cops to defend this cop. I really believe I'm the only one on this board being consistent - at least I haven't seen any posts from anyone else applying the same rules of judgment to cops that shoot rioting liberals and to cops shooting rioting conservatives.

Read the statements from the cop. He did the right thing for the right reasons. He should be hailed as a hero, not a villain.

Wow. Triggered.

Sorry I don't swing that way. You're as wrong about that as everything else you spew

And newsflash...she gets through that window and that CROWD gets though that barricade...BEFORE any help arrives (from the wrong direction)

 

[Lesh]

There's no "both sides" to this one.

Sorry

One thing is not another

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

She did no violence to any person. She was just accused of trying to crawl through a window.

The coward must have panicked and thought this woman was coming after him...though he was surrounded by cops and there was a barricade up even if she had managed to get through the window.

Why do you think the mob was chanting "Hang Mike Pence!" and calling out "Nancy, where are you?!?" It's a rhetorical question. They were doing so in order to terrorize them and make them fear that the mob intended to harm or kill them, our congressional members as well.

So they wanted people to fear them and wanted "for your safety", the police officers to get out of their way and not interfere with their attempts to get their hands on the people they come there to confront.

Except NO ONE is ever required to give Ashli or any of them the benefit of the doubt when they so plainly made it clear through their violent acts, not only against the police officers but the smashing of the doors and windows to gain access to restricted areas of the Capital, the threats they verbalized, etc. that they were willing to do whatever it took, up to and including violence, to prevent Joe Biden from being certified as the next duly elected President of the United States.

All of these things combined presented the officers as well as Lt. Byrd with each of the three elements that need to be present in order to use deadly force against a threat - ability, opportunity and jeopardy:

Ability means that the other person has the power to kill or to cripple you.​

​

Opportunity means that the circumstances are such that the other person would be able to use his ability against you.​

​

Jeopardy means that the other person’s actions or words provide you with a reasonably-perceived belief that he intends to kill you or cripple you.​

​

The fact that the threat was not a "person" but instead was in the form of a violent mob which could easily over power the officers provided the ability. There was a woman early on that day who died when she was trampled to death by the mob. The shear numbers of the mob made them a threat under our self-defense laws with the ability to use those numbers to inflict harm or death on their targets. Also one of the mob members was yelling to the others regarding one of the officers who was trying to keep them from entering at all "Kill him with his own gun, kill him with his gun!"

Had the mob been able to breach that locked door they could have easily overrun the officers in the speaker's lobby. Some members of the mob would be free to fight with the police while other mob members could immediately go after our congressional members who were their ultimate target. The officers apparently felt that as long as the mob was on the other side of that locked door, they didn't have the opportunity to do much nor was the required element of opportunity present that that would allow them to use deadly force. However, IF they had breached that door, then the mob would have then had the opportunity to inflict whatever harm they wanted on both the officers and our congressional members.

Finally jeopardy in this case is the easiest element to prove in my opinion, because of their words and deeds prior to arriving at the door leading to the speakers lobby. Had they breached that last barrier then all of the officers and our congressional representatives' lives would have been in jeopardy since the mob members also would have at that point had both the ability and opportunity to do so.

So they were angry because Donald Trump had put into their minds that the ONLY reason that he lost the election was because someone somewhere did something that caused the election to be stolen from him/them. He additionally indicated that Mike Pence was instrumental in the wrongdoings as well. He lit the fuse, pointed them down Pennsylvania Ave (but did not go WITH them as promised) and the rest is history as they say

They showed up at the U.S. Capital to let our representatives know how unhappy they were with the election results and intended to prevent the results from being certified. They erected mock gallows with a noose for "hanging Mike Pence", they shouted out his name and Nancy Pelosi's as well. They smashed, stomped and caused destruction all along their path to get to the remaining Congress members in the building.

So when you INTENTIONALLY do and say things to make people afraid of you to the point where they are fleeing for their lives WHY would you then be surprised that you are viewed as a threat and then dealt with accordingly?

People get shot and killed all of the time for posing a lot less of a threat than the people who stormed the Capital on January 6th.

What do the police ALWAYS say when they have to use their weapon to shoot and kill someone? "I was in fear for my life". You don't think any of those officers or our representatives were fearful for their lives that day?

There was plenty of legal justification for using deadly force and everyone should be grateful that it only took one shot and one casualty to repel them away from their intended target but the officers were smart, they knew if they started shooting all hell would break out and so many more people would have been injured or killed.

 

[woodwork201]

Nothing. Floyd was not a threat to anyone and was murdered. Benedict Babbitt tried to lead a violent mob past a police barricade and into the House chamber and was not murdered.

It just irritates the hell out of me that I keep having to thank posts from the left and challenge posts from the right. It's sad but you're right and they're wrong.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

What would you call shooting someone through a window who was surrounded by cops as he also was; but he was the only one that fired a shot that day.

He didn't shoot her "through" the window. Had she not attempted to climb through it, she wouldn't have been shot.

That door was locked for a reason.

There were police officers with their backs against the door that she tried to breach but the mob convinced them that for their own safety they should get out of their way which they did.
