re: Who Killed Ashli Babbitt?

No. They didn’t. One cop did. The other cops were milling around, not really sure of what they were doing.

This.

If you watch the video of her shooting, there were cops milling about the crowd of rioters just before the incident. They were making their way back down the stairs when the gun shot rang out. Clearly they didn't seem to care that a crowd of rioters - busy busting the glass and trying to physically get through the barricade - was about to cross the line they had drawn.

Nor did the guy who was casually walking toward them on the other side of the barricade. He was little ways down the hall, but you could see a person in a suit making their way toward the barricade from the opposite side just before Babbitt was shot. He wasn't running, he wasn't yelling at her to stop, he was just walking.

The only cop who drew the line was the cop who was hiding himself off to the side, inside the door way, where he couldn't be seen by the rioters. Had he actually been standing in their line of sight, I'm pretty sure Ashli Babbitt would still be alive.
