Congress needs to be locked up for twice as long as these political prisoners have been. Unbelievable.

I’m not sure, I know her mother said she was sent on a flight to Germany for treatment…..either way she was injured to the extent she lost her ability to have children….pretty bad injury
Gotcha.
I have a family member who acts like she's on the level because she was medically retired from an injury at MCT. She's a mooching little AOC-loving bitch.
Have an aunt who acts like my cousin is SF because he's Ranger qualified. Dude is a supply officer. He's alright and his mom is just a little too proud, but doesn't know any better.
Babbitt definitely deserves recognition for her service and deployments. Just was wondering if this was something along the lines of my aunt.

Anyway, you’re probably right. Her mother said she was injured while serving in the military so I screwed up and took that as meaning she was injured while deployed in a area of combat. I’m sure if she were injured while deployed in a combat theater that would’ve been talked about long ago…..as Whoopi says, “ My bad.”
All good.

Patriot! Patriots don't storm the capitol trying to overthrow a free and fair election! Unarmed? Many were armed, some with guns, others with knives, sharpened flagpoles, bear spray, tear gas,etc. How were the officers trying to stop her and others breaking in to know whether she was armed or not. Unfortunately she was killed but neither she nor any of the other rioters/terrorists are patriots in my book!

Use-Of-Force Expert: Ashli Babbitt Was ‘Murdered’ Under Color of Authority…
Ashli Babbitt, the 35-year-old Air Force veteran who was fatally shot outside the U.S. Capitol Speaker’s Lobby by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd on Jan. 6, 2021, was “murdered … under the color of authority,” a use-of-force expert has concluded after reviewing video footage of the incident.
Just before 2:45 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, Babbitt began climbing through a side window leading into the Speaker’s Lobby and was shot in the left anterior shoulder by Byrd. She was pronounced dead a half-hour later at MedStar Washington Hospital Center.
Babbitt’s killing still hangs like a dark cloud over the events of that day. Questions remain about her death, even after the June release of a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) report that concluded there was insufficient evidence that Byrd used excessive force when he shot the unarmed Babbitt as she attempted to climb through the broken window.
Stan Kephart, who has testified in court more than 350 times as an expert witness on policing issues, reviewed the shooting in the new Epoch TV documentary, “The Real Story of Jan. 6,” which is streaming on Epoch TV.
Babbitt’s Shooter Committed An ‘Arrestable Offense’
“My conclusion, based on what I saw and observed in the video clips is that Ashli Babbitt was murdered,” said Kephart, a 42-year veteran of law enforcement and former director of security for the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics. He has testified on topics that include excessive force, police discipline, officer safety, and crowd control.
“She was shot and killed under color of authority by an officer who violated not only the law but his oath and committed an arrestable offense.”
Kephart said Byrd should have written a firearms discharge report immediately after the incident. Byrd declined to give a statement to Internal Affairs detectives and was never formally interviewed before eventually being cleared of wrongdoing.
Kephart said he saw nothing in the video evidence to indicate that Byrd should have felt his life was in danger or that he was at risk of serious harm from the 5-foot-2, 110-pound San Diego woman wrapped in a Trump flag.
“In order for lethal force to be authorized, the officer has to be able to articulate that he or she was in fear of losing his life, was about to be killed, or grievously injured,” Kephart said in the documentary. “There is nothing I saw in that film that would indicate that was possible or probable from what unfolded.”
Byrd’s attorney, Mark Schamel, in a statement to The Epoch Times, called Kephart’s conclusion “unsupported and erroneous” and said the lieutenant was justified in the use of force.
“When Ms. Babbitt entered through the broken window and entered the inner protected area, wearing a backpack and refusing the verbal commands of multiple armed federal officers with weapons drawn, the threat she posed was clear and Lt. Byrd, as the first officer in the final line of defense, was absolutely justified in his use of force.”
Capitol Officer Who Shot Babbitt Repeatedly Disregarded Firearm Training Standards
Kephart said he was shocked at a photograph from the House floor earlier on Jan. 6, 2021, showing Byrd with his gun drawn and aimed in the direction of Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) and two other men.
“This man [Byrd] should be directed to submit to a fitness-for-duty examination immediately by his chief of police,” Kephart said. “Based on this photo alone, he is not qualified to possess a firearm. He is clearly demonstrating a conscious disregard for where he is. His firearm should be at a ‘low ready’ position until target acquisition.
“Any qualified firearms instructor would be horrified at this photo in view of what transpired after the picture was taken, where he shot and killed Ashli Babbitt, disregarding officers in the backdrop, and did not advance and assess the shot or provide first aid and take control of the crime scene—all of which he has been taught, trained, and certified to do.”
Nehls has spoken repeatedly of his belief that the shooting was murder. Nehls served as sheriff of Fort Bend County, Texas, from 2012 until 2020.
“The video was quite clear,” Nehls told Newsmax in 2021. “It was murder.”
Kephart said the standard set by the Supreme Court in Graham v. Connor doesn’t refer to “willfully” using more force than necessary.
“They inserted willfully above knowingly, which is at best contradictory, and worst, disingenuous,” Kephart told The Epoch Times in an email.

So did the officer. And he violated the Capitol Police’s use of force policy.
And instead of facing consequences for violating policy and killing someone in his violation of policy, he has been lauded as a hero.

The pos Capitol police murderer would use hand sanitizer before whacking off in the hallway waiting for the shooter to finish.
