Officer Byrd violated her civil rights

ColdHardTruth said:
Despite multiple warnings not to proceed,[7] Babbitt attempted to climb through a shattered window beside a barricaded door into the Speaker's Lobby and was thwarted when she was shot in her left anterior shoulder[8] by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer.[9][10][11][8] After a USCP emergency response team administered aid, Babbitt was transported to Washington Hospital Center, where she died.[12][13] The USCP deemed the shooting was "lawful and within Department policy" and "potentially saved Members (of Congress) and staff from serious injury and possible death".[14][15] Babbitt has been considered a martyr by Donald Trump supporters, and by Trump himself.[16]

She was told to stop and continued to try to advance.

The Capitol Police officer who fatally shot rioter Ashli Babbitt as she attempted to break into the Speaker’s Lobby near the House floor on Jan. 6 said in a television interview Thursday he was yelling at the mob to “get back” and “stop” and fired when those commands were not followed.

“She was posing a threat to United States House of Representatives,” Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd told NBC’s Lester Holt.

Babbitt, an Air Force veteran and QAnon follower, was part of a mob that was trying to get into the Speaker’s Lobby, an area with direct access to the House floor that is off limits to the general public. Supporters of former President Donald Trump, and Trump himself, have questioned her shooting.

1-16.000 - Department of Justice Policy On Use Of Force

www.justice.gov www.justice.gov

It is the policy of the Department of Justice to value and preserve human life. Officers may use only the force that is objectively reasonable to effectively gain control of an incident, while protecting the safety of the officer and others, in keeping with the standards set forth in Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386 (1989). Officers may use force only when no reasonably effective, safe, and feasible alternative appears to exist and may use only the level of force that a reasonable officer on the scene would use under the same or similar circumstances.

feel better now?

Explains why he wasn't charged. There was no other way to keep that mob out.

This is Debate Politics. Your posts consist of nothing more than a series of “because I said so” responses. Wash, rinse, repeat over and over.

Bodecea will remember me as a mod on another board she is on. the mods there would never flaunt their partisan leanings the way you do.

Well, that’s too bad for you. Once again, this is Debate Politics, not your other board. Moderators here all pretty much post as any other individuals do because they’re subject to the same rules. Most of them aren’t shy about voicing their stances about topics just like anyone else- they are people, too. You might not like their opinions on matters, but at least you get a flavor for who they are. Frankly, it’s refreshing to see.

I would actually expect better posts from someone who claims to be a mod or to have been a mod on another board, other than a bunch of “because I said so” responses.
