re: No charges for Capitol Police officer who shot Ashli Babbitt

I just assumed he was white like most other cops.

Is that the same as assuming that when a person is killed by a cop that it was a white person killed?

Asking me or everyone

You since I responded to you. But everyone really. There’s no consistency in anyone’s arguments. Sure there’s gray area, but it’s fairly clear the hypocrisy on both sides.

Hey, play stupid games win stupid prizes. Right?

Or frick around, get found out

There could have been a pistol or bomb in her backpack. She was obviously deranged that day... It's better to shoot first ask questions later in such a stressful situation.

I agree, especially in the cases of Alton Sterling, Michael brown, Breanna Taylor, etc etc etc. That capital rush was a sham. If that scared the politicians, they should be terrified of what could happen.

The one that I know that was wrong was Castille. But white unarmed criminals die in a higher percentage than blacks anyway.

Surely we have middle ground there, right?

Nah frick all that. You start coming at VPOTUS like that, you're asking to get lit up.

Fwiw: I think it was a good shoot, they had to draw the red line somewhere.

But they didn't draw a red line. Or at least if they drew they immediately erased it. In the minutes leading up to the shooting, armed police were guarding the barricade but then moved aside at the behest of the rioters/protesters, who then began to bang at the barricade in an attempt to get through. The armed police you see behind the rioters in numerous videos are the same police who had just moved out of the way.

How is that drawing a red line? If anything...it tells the protestors/rioters they are free to continue their march deeper into the Capitol Building. Our boy who shot Ashli Babbitt, meanwhile, was lying in wait inside of a doorway off to the left, in an area where Babbitt could not have possibly seen him. It's likely she never saw the person who shot her due to where she was and where the guy who shot her was.

He also didn't seem to give her any kind of a verbal warning. Typically when a line has been drawn by the police, you inform citizens where that line is and what the consequences are for crossing that line. That information was never given out.

If any of you are being honest with yourselves you know that if this had been a riot protesting the re-election of Trump, and that woman had been black, the officer in question would have been ID'd by the media and charges would have been filed within days of the incident. That's what pisses me off the most. It's an obvious double standard that none of you seem to have a major problem with.

The fact of the matter is this, if you think the Duante Wright shooting was unjustified, you can't support what happened to Ashli Babbitt in the Capitol Building. If you do then you are, my friend, a hypocrite.

Sad in so many ways...that we have come to this in our country. A white cop shoots a black suspect after the suspect does not comply with orders from the cop and all hell breaks loose. The cops face and name is shown across the globe drawing sympathy toward the suspect, and it all comes down to, "was it worth killing them" for a traffic violation?
Now roles reverse...a black capitol cop shoots and kills a white suspect who happens to be committing a crime by being inside the capitol with a mob. This white female posed no immediate threat to the black cop's life or to anyone else as she simply walked through a broken glass beside a door. And this was the only shooting that occurred inside the capitol that day!
We all knew right away who the white female was and that she was an Air Force Veteran from San Diego. And that's it! The media did not ask who killed her...the politicians did not ask who killed her, and chances are that our mindless POTUS did not comment on her death or contact her family with kind words and a vow to get to the bottom of this. Where's our true-to-the-constitution politicians, like Bill Cassidy? When will someone call for fairness and acknowledge that Ashli Babbit was a victim as much as the many "thugs" who have been portrayed as heroes in the recent years?
Time of reckoning is nearing, my friends!

I'm not giving you any warning either if you're trying to break through a secure door I'm standing behind. What sort of retarded is this?

Ahh...the old "she deserved to be shot" routine.

Bootlickers.
