A U.S. Capitol Police officer has been cleared of criminal wrongdoing for fatally shooting Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt as she attempted to breach a set of doors deep in the Capitol during the January siege, federal prosecutors in D.C. announced Wednesday.

Authorities determined there was insufficient evidence to prove Babbitt’s civil rights were violated, and that it was reasonable for the officer to believe he was firing in self-defense or in defense of members of Congress and aides who were fleeing the House chamber. Prosecutors did not identify the officer.

You would think the bullet would be proof her civil rights were violated.

Smells like rotten swamp water. An unarmed woman climbing through a window to attack 4 armed cops is a rotten arsed excuse.

We clearly live in a two caste system at this time and one side can literally get away with murder.

Why are we scared of China? Agents of the leviathan can masscare civilian protesters with absolutely no repercussions, so long as the protests are threats to the political establishment.

Riiiight. You or I shoot someone in a similar situation and we'll be charged. Dude had a quick trigger and was in no way in harm when he shot her.

We know the name of every cop involved in a controversial shooting as they demand they be strung up....yet somehow this guy gets a pass for a shooting everyone can see wasn't necessary

It is absolutely insane to me that we get leaked names left and right when cops shoot blacks

But the one time an unarmed white is killed, the name doesn’t leak

100% because the DC officer was black and the deceased or Ms Babbitt was white.
