Should the police have shot and killed the insurrectionists in Lafayette Park attempting to breach the White House? Should the police have shot and killed the insurrectionists invading a police station in Minneapolis? Should the police have shot and killed the insurrectionists attempting to burn down a federal building in Portland?
The Left went ape doo doo when the police in DC used pepper pellets to move the crowd in Lafayette Park after the refused to comply with orders to move, but somehow they should have slaughtered protestors because you disagree with them politically?

So you'd be okay with shooting to kill all those looters in Minneapolis, Seattle, Santa Monica, etc?

Hey and I feel Derek Chauvin deserves a medal and a TWO million dollar bonus for eliminating a multiple felon like George Floyd, but he isn't getting a medal is he?

Not sure why you single out Texas, but even in TX people are held accountable. A 74 year old man who shot a home invasion burglar in TX just a few days ago will be facing a grand jury. Another elderly TX man who shot and killed an intruder in 2019 has been charged with murder. So apparently there isn't anything automatic about TX.

You have no idea what her intent was. If you have seen the private videos people took you see several policemen blocking the doors then they moved away calmly. One of those officers was standing next to Babbitt when she was shot. Whomever shot Babbitt was incredibly irresponsible for shooting with a fellow LEO so close by. There were also tactical officers in the crowd and regular officers and none of them seemed in any kind of a panic over the protestors. Only this single officer drew and fired a weapon. The public deserves to know why; his background and training.

This is the United States. We don't have secret proceedings.

Really? Who was telling her to stay out? The man who shot her never said a word, he just started shooting. Certainly the police officers right next to her didn't tell her to not go through that door window, so who was it telling her to stay out?

There were maybe 20 or 30 protestors with her in that section. She could have been arrested. Or the favorite rubric of the Left, "he could have shot her in the leg". Why weren't the police officers and SWAT officers on the same side of the doors attempting to stop her or clear the room?

Really? The legal punishment for trespass is execution?

He wasn't alone. There were a ton of officers there including heavily armed ones.

They didn't block an investigation of the Ashli Babbitt shooting, they blocked a useless partisan attempt to keep a narrative going and put on a Soviet style show trial.

See above.

If you think it was going to be an independent, fair "bipartisan" investigation then I'd invite you to become an investor in my Los Angeles To Catalina Bridge Company.

The videos that have been seen are all from private parties like Jayden X, not Capitol Building surveillance video or LEO body cams.

I don't hold the Capitol in any higher esteem than I do police stations, other federal buildings, mosques, churches and private property. I don't think any should be violated, but apparently huge swaths of the Left do.

But Babbitt, unlike Floyd doesn't have shrines and statues being dedicated to her; her family hasn't been given $27million in wrongful death compensation and her killer has not been tried for her murder.

Well yes, but his source is the Washington DC Medical Examiners office. Your source is the NY Times that apparently is very challenged in sorting facts these days.

It's a sad commentary that you apparently think it is okay to violate police stations, other federal buildings, mosques, churches and private property.

Who was it that warned her? Do you have links of her being warned? Love to see them.

Keep deflecting about months of violent protests and pretending they were "mostly peaceful". Why do supporters of the BLM movement, of the antifa movement, of looting, burning and in the cult of the "1619 Project", Critical Race Theory and Defund The Police excuse all the violent, insurrectionist behavior?
