Ashli Babbitt (killed J-6) Lawsuit Settled, Family to Be Paid Nearly $5 Million

[DonGlock26]

Only because the LAPD escalated the situation to start with against peaceful protestors.

30 years after Rodney King, the LAPD hasn't learned a ******* thing.

Joe, you are hiding from the question again.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Byrd clearly violated the law. He needs to be prosecuted for murder.

Self-defense.

If you were in his shoes, would you have shot that girl? Do you believe that was a reasonable use of force?

YES, and most of the other traitors too.

 

[DonGlock26]

Neat.

The fact remains, if Ashli hadn't broken the law and climbed through a broken window after being told to stop by Capitol cops, she would be alive today.

Same for George Floyd, right?

 

[Captain Caveman]

It is unreal that this copper was not even brought up on manslaughter charges. he got to use is black privilege card I guess........ killed by a U.S. Capitol Police officer after storming ......

Invited in and shown round is called storming to the media.

 

[Muhammed]

Self-defense.

YES, and most of the other traitors too.

It was a tiny unarmed girl, how was she a threat, you ******* disgusting party of slavery supporter?

Given the overall context, see Post 57, I'm okay with it.

I wish hadn't happened, but then I also wish the entire Insurrection hadn't happened.

And yes, I know you disagree. I can live with that.

 

[Mac1958]

If he broke a law, that's what starts the problem. Don't break the law, you're not starting a problem.

I guess you still think you'll get me on the defensive, huh?

Not everyone is slave to an ideology. True story.

Nope, I wanted to see if you are consistent.

Capt. Byrd is a hero, a law enforcement officer that held the thin blue line in the face of a violent mob attepting to gain access the House Chamber where members of Congress were attempting to fulfill their Constitutional obligation.

If you were in his shoes, would you have shot that girl?

Absolutley.

Do you believe that was a reasonable use of force?

Yes, the context of the armed (melee weapons are still arms) violet mob where Capt. Byrd was hearing of the violence over the police radio and witness them use their weaspons to violently break through the last remaining law enforcement barricade just steps away from the House Chamber...

Given the context of the stituation yes. The violent mob presented a clear and present danger of death or serious bodily injury to himself and/or those he was charged to protect. I'm sure Capt. Byrd was scared, but training kicked in. He didn't panic, a single controled shot center-mass was enough to shock the mob and halt their advance for critical seconds. Without his action the mob would have continued to surge forward and many more would have been shot entering the House Chamber by law enforcement on the inside.

Capt. Byrd's actions saved lives that day.

Willing to be your life on it?

Post reported for threats to another poster.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Same for George Floyd, right?

Floyd was already handcuffed.
No need to put a knee on his neck.
Plus, there were two cops there vs one handcuffed guy?

You're a sick puppy.

How was that tiny unarmed girl a threat to that big man>?

I can see you don't know what "context" means, post 57.

That's okay. I really wasn't extecting you to understand.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

It was a tiny unarmed girl, how was she a threat,

She jumped through the window.
With a backpack.

you ******* disgusting party of slavery supporter?

Scumbag TRAITOR.

They'll get NOTHING at trial. The only reason why the Trump Administration is giving the family money is because they'll never win at trial.

The reason the Trump Administration is paying off the family is that LAST think the Trump Administration wants is the J6 riots being all over the news again because of the trial.

So...

Pay off the family, no civil trial with a settlement.

Never charge Capt. Byrd with criminal charges. Therefore not criminal trial.

The story fades away.

Context- he would have just overdosed, if he wasn't breaking the law.

Consistency isn't a good thing. If you're unwilling to consider another point of view, or change your mind, you'll never progress or adapt. This is Trump's biggest problem.

Trump is endlessly stubborn and never backs down. How to tell us he's an idiot without using the words. When caught, he doubles down, and it never goes well for him but he is consistent.

Then we laugh at the changing story - I didn't do it. I DID NOT DO IT. If I did do it, there was nothing wrong with doing it. Obama did it and you said nothing. I'm not doing anything that others didn't do. I did it. So What?

Capt. Byrd was a law enforcement officer that held the thin blue line manning the last law enforcement barricade prior to a violent armed (with improvised melee weapons) breaking through said barrier just steps away from the entrace to the House Chamber. An armed violent mob who he'd just witnessed use those weapons to break through the barrier.

After breaching the barrier he fired a single controlled shot center mass (which struck Babbitt in the should since she was hunched over in the window she was climbing through). This shocked the riotious mob for critical seconds while reenforcements arrived up a stairwell behind them.

Capt. Byrd's actions that day SAVED lives because if the mob had proceeded into the Speaker Lobby and into the House Chamber there would have been many more deaths that day.

The Trump Administration paid off the family NOT because it was the right thing to do, it wasn't - the shooting was fully justificed because the violent mob presented a clear and present danger of death of serious bodily injury either to Capt. Byrd or those he was charged to protect.

No, the Trump Administration paid off the family because the LAST thing they wanted wass this to see the inside of a courtroom and for the J6 riots to be a major portion of the news cycle for weeks, maybe months leading up to the mid-term elections. So the Trump Administration paid off the family and will never pursue criminal charges.

Let the "disagree" and "fake news" emoji's commence.

tell the truth for once

On January 6, 2021, Ashli Babbitt was fatally shot during the attack on the United States Capitol.
Despite multiple warnings not to proceed 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 the shoulder.

After a USCP emergency response team administered aid, Babbitt was transported to Washington Hospital Center, where she died. 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".


Babbitt has been considered a martyr by Donald Trump supporters, and by Trump himself.

A tragic loss of life that should have never happened.
Maybe Trump authorized payment to clear his conscience



Trump has no conscience

 

[DonGlock26]

Consistency isn't a good thing.

Like telling the truth for progressives? They rarely do it.

Denial is not just a river in Egpyt. We all watched the murder on TV moron. We SAW him kill the guy. Your denial is proof of your idiocy.
