Why did McCarthy Give Tucker Carlson Exclusive Access to J6 Footage?

[BPPLEE]

Babbitt wasn't a protester; she was trying to commit murder.

Provide proof she intended to murder anyone

 

[Arcangl86]

With her bare hands?

Which is not hard to do. But more to the point, she had a backpack on and explosives had been found that morning, so for all the police knew at the time she had a bomb ready to go off.

"The big black man murdered the small white women" has been a racist dog whistle from the beginning, but it's a transparent red herring.

It's never been a "racist dog whistle" when it's "white cop shoots unarmed black man", so it's not when the roles are reversed--assuming we're being equitable here.

All those years I was in law enforcement and I never knew I could kill someone because I suspected they had a concealed weapon. If only I had known. Probably better that I didn’t or I might have shot the man who turned out to be pointing a bar of soap at me. It’s amazing how people who never give police the benefit of the doubt are going all in to stand up for the police officer in this case.

For all they knew, she had a backpack. That's all. Assuming a backpack is a bomb and then shooting someone is hardly good police work.

 

[Aldebaran]

And then what about the ~20 other people outside the doors?

Same thing. That's equal treatment.

It's unlikely that the officer that shot Ashli Babbit knew she had a backpack. At the time she was shot her back was away from the cops and a flag "cape" covered the backpack.

What she was was poised to leap through a broken open window into a corridor through which elected Representatives and other officers of the House were still evacuating and there were a couple dozen people next to her of similar levels of enragement.

 

[Hans Blaster]

Same thing. That's equal treatment.

Shoot them too? None of them were (yet) poised to enter the defensive space past the doors. That could have changed very quickly, but (not surprisingly) the pulled back there attack when someone was shot.

And yet we're still referring to a 110 pound unarmed woman. Hardly a threat.

Nope, I didn't say that.

 

[Hans Blaster]

Nope, I didn't say that.

Are you implying that a few cops can "stomp" a group of 20 or more, many who were not 50-kilo AF veterans? OR WHAT?

Do pay attention.

Isn’t it amazing how the people that usually second guess everything the police do are in full support of the police in this case and can’t fathom that this particular officer could have been wrong. The police are brave heroes in this case but are demonized routinely by the same people for doing their jobs.

If you think that a member of a mob surging toward elected officials protected by a few cops and a guy get arrested by a few cops are the same, or think that we think so, then you are sorely mistaken.

Never even used that word.
Oh, I get it. You're making a straw man argument.

Hey with the line of reason that’s been offered I could just as well say Rodney King could have had a weapon and the police had to keep him on the ground until he put his arms behind his back

Even more amazing that they say that the cops need more training, and then they throw fire bombs at the cops who are protecting a newly built training site for just that purpose. But they'll still defend the actions of cops when they shoot unarmed women who are white. And conservative.

 

[Aldebaran]

Do pay attention.

I'll take that as a yes.

 

[BPPLEE]

Oh, I get it. You're making a straw man argument.

It’s ideological why they support the police in this case.

Like I said they had no plan, no weapons and no organization.

Per a Justice Dept Jan 6 sentencing memo, Larry Brock had a plan:
