    No way. It's shopping time. These peope
    I just saw the last tape, and that was over the line. It does however show the brutality of his “brothers”.
    That is why my idea of a (voluntary) self contained contained neighborhood with self policing won’t work.


    Because they are raised with all these cockamamie ideas about police and to “run for your life”.

    There was an "evacuation" because our Congress is made up cowards. Ocrazio-Cortez, who wasn't even in the building at the time, compared it to being in combat...lol

    We have no evidence that Nichols did not "heed" or even that he had been driving recklessly, as there is apparently no video of this. But, even if that were the case, it does not excuse police-- once Nichols is on the ground, clearly trying to cooperate with police, and fully in their control-- of "teaching him a lesson."

    Switching between the cable news networks Ive heard all 3 suggesting this death is different from other police killings because all the police have been charged with murder quickly so we dont see the violent protests because of this. ???????? Chauvin that killed Floyd was charged 4 days after the incident. These cops were charged 16 days after the incident. Idont think the media wants to draw any attention to the fact that all 5 cops are black.

    You think if she had weapons the situation would have worked out better for her? That’s laughable even for you.

    You are speaking of a shooting due to a riot where officers were being assaulted and trying to enter a federal building while threatening the lives of public sergeants and followed up with this is why we won’t give up our weapons because police didn’t offer them a trial.

    Feel free to reread the conversation

    You know, I wonder if the cops were on drugs! It's a shame, if they weren't drug tested, right after this incident.

    Ashli Babbit's killer wasn't being assaulted.

    Watch the first tape. They pepper sprayed him while he was being held down on his side on the ground. The stupid cops got pepper spray on themselves too and he ran away. He was close to his mother's house and was running home.

    THAT is why he ran.

    You seem to be doing a whole lot of avoiding, of this thread's topic.



    To point out a flaw, though, in your Ashli Babbitt argument: she was not a lone actor. She was very much a part of this entire crowd, trying to break through the protective glass of the doors. So, her attempted breaching of this barrier, carried with it the very "imminent" and grave threat-- @Trixare4kids -- of not only this entire group, crashing through, but of the removal of this vital blockade, for all those who had invaded the Capitol.

    I will only say that, IMO, the officer should have verbally warned those, trying to smash the glass, that he intended to shoot, if they did not cease their actions.

    Now, can we talk about Memphis?

    AND with 6 cops surrounding Ashley before she was shot, they could have easily beaten the shiite out of her like they do in Memphis to eliminate any threat they perceived. She was healthy and likely would have survived.

    Suggest what you like. You weren't the one who was on the ground being pepper sprayed and wondering what else these cops might be capable of. He didn't run because someone filled his head full of lies as some white people on this forum want to believe. He ran because he likely feared for his life. If that was the case he was right to be afraid.

    Any one of the 6 cops around Ashley could have easily grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back from the door.

    Actually, had he simply surrendered and complied, he likely wouldnt even have a scratch on him. He was WRONG to be afraid as we can see it got him killed.

    The only cops I remember, were holding long guns. There would be no way to pull Ms. Babbitt away, and keep a secure hold on their weapons; there were other invaders about, who could then, more possibly, take these weapons from them. Besides, Ashli was not the only one, battering the glass. There was clearly not the manpower, to physically drag them all away, while others guarded those members of the Capitol Police force, who were doing the dragging, from a rear attack. And, after they had been dragged away, how would they, or others, for that matter, be stopped from simply returning to the task?

    I never said he was
    Other officers were — the individuals they were sworn to protect were being threatened — the perimeter had been breached.

    They only travesty that day outside the actions from the magagafascists was that any of them were allowed to enter

    No, what got him killed was illegal use of force by police. I understand that you cannot see that due to....other factors....but it is the truth.

    Ashli Babbitt was a certifiable lunatic and the world is better off without her.

    Watch this video of the crazy bitch =

    Oh what silliness. If they didnt want to hold their rifle with one hand, they could of smacked her over the head with the stock of the gun while holding tightly with both hands.

    What silliness? Are you not aware of the well reported event of the Capitol officer who was pulled into the crowd, in front of the Capitol, and nearly lost his weapon to people saying, "shoot him, with his own gun?" Any law enforcement officer, must always be aware of any surrounding, potential threats to his maintaining full possession & control, of his weapon.
