Putin Asks Reporter If US 'Assassinated' Ashli Babbitt

You can stand by it all you want. It doesn't change that the guy right next to her heard commands, the officer says he gave commands and there are other witnesses (presumably other officers behind those doors) who witnessed the commands.

It's not like it's just the officer making the claim. One of her own "let's breach the Capitol" cohorts was clear in his statement only minutes after it happened. She was warned.

The guy who shot her did not issue warnings that he was going to shoot. The other LE did not issue warnings that shots would be fired at them.

You can read into what that guy said, but it doesn't change anything that guy really said. The unidentified cop gave no warning before killing her.

EVIDENCE that supports this claim?
 
There still was no direct verbal warning given from the unnamed cop who shot and killed Babbitt. Or did I miss that?
You: "Officer, why did you shoot me?"
Officer: "you were in the process of committing a crime which involved being part of a mob that was storming the capital."
You: "But, you didn't say 'stop, or I'll shoot'."
Officer: "Doesn't matter."
 
Who killed her? Why is the identity of this officer being kept a secret?

Because the terrorist groups who support folks like Babbitt are dangerous and might go after their family, would be my guess.

Do you normally want people who defend our capitol doxxed? Is this the normal reaction to a terrorist attack for Republicans?
 
Ashli was just a QAnontard terrorist, i wouldnt call her a Karen that I know of. I have seen her rants and they are pretty nutty but still i say she was a Qanon nutter

not all trump supporters are the same . . .

She was a hot headed crazy nutcase. That whole rant she recorded was alarming. The following and rear ending her husband's ex, not once but twice. Losing work accounts of long time clients due to her political rants. She wayyyyy overindulged in the angry Kool aid.

Person who has decided to overthrow our government because Donald TRump didn’t win:

”oh, wait, they might have guns?”

If you approve of lethal force on unarmed citizens, giving them no warning that they will be stopped by lethal force, good for you.
 
Because there cops and the people they were protecting on the other side of the glass?

Dude on the inside took one aimed shot at an upward angle to avoid hitting the tactical officers. Turns out that's all that was needed.

You keep bleating about "unarmed" and "no warning".

Neither being armed not is a warning shot required are prerequisites to being shot while breaching the final barricade between violent rioters and the Congress members.

If that poor, innocent "unarmed citizen" is in the process of storming the capitol as part of a mob that is carrying weapons and shouting "hang Mike Pence," I have no sympathy for your plight.

Yeah, I don't get that why they think that's a good defense of Babbitt.
 
The "6 or more officers on HER side of the door" were heavily armed and had not yet made it to the door.

Your OPINION about incompetence is noted and laughed at given his one shot stopped the rioters from reaching the Congress members.

3 of the officers were at the door before she tried to crawl through and the rest were within the frame of the video seconds after she was shot, because they were already in the immediate vicinity when she was shot.

Lol Is that really the argument you think works? Guy next to victim says she was warned, officer says he gave warning, others say they heard him warn her and you come back with-the guy who shot her didn't warn her?

Is there any video of a mob shouting "hang Mike Pence"? Probably 10s of 1000s of reports stating the same. Sounds like another bashed in the head with a fire extinguisher story for dramatic effect.

Which makes what difference legally? There is no legal requirement that a LEO has to issue a verbal warning before they shoot someone, particularly in a very loud environment where the person cannot hear them anyway, which is what seems to have happened here. She was warned not to breach the barricaded doors but she did. Whether she could hear the officer or not, it is common sense that you do not belong in the area that is barricaded by office furniture and armed guards are telling you you cannot go in.

Those 3 were neither equipped nor likely trained to deal with the mob that would have swarmed them (threatened to do so in fact) if they had applied any force towards the mob.

She fell back towards them, and was moved closer towards them when she was shot.
 
It's very very very simple.

If you don't want to get shot, then don't be a traitor.

Trump supporters apparently have forgotten our history.
Hmm . . . I thought I already let you know that I’m aware of you not caring about my viewpoint. I guess I’ll just thank you for sharing yours and leave it there.
 
A one handed shove that would have exposed the officer to the other violent rioters...

GOOD PLAN.

They were all on the other side of the door. You can see in the video right before, the three officers with the protesters in their face, perfectly calm. While the one cop with locked doors and piled up furniture between him and the protesters so scared he shot an unarmed, 120 lb woman. There were probably 2-300 other angry protesters that weighed more than her, all cleared from the Capitol without firing a single shot. This ONE cop drastically overreacted in a panic.

1. Why do people need a warning to not attack Congress?

2. Everyone who broke into the Capitol Building was warned multiple times to gtfo.

They weren't "perfectly calm". They were scared (you could see it in their faces) but maintaining their composure, professionalism.

That "one cop" was facing a mob that was breaking through that door, with one of the glass windows already broken in. It wasn't just her that was coming through that door, the rest would have followed her from any reasonable belief. There was no panic in his shoot. The fact that he fired only a single shot that hit her shows he was very calm with his actions in stopping a threat.
