You ignored the fact that when the protesters saw the gun they backed off and you just had one person climbing through a window and back up seconds away.
She did not threaten to hurt anyone. The "mob" did not hurt anyone. They protestors were allowed and guided into the building at other locations, so why assume Ashli Babbit was part of a criminal mob?
There were lots of angry people inside the room alongside them. But the angry people were trying to get at the Congresscritters. Those officers were not facing a threat coming towards them. They only would have been threatened if they had tried to act.
I never said that. It's amazing how critical some people can be because I would leave deadly force as a last resort.
So the officers were not facing a threat? Actually they were but they chose to stand down,
So you let them all flood through the door they've just broken down and then...what? Ask them politely to please stop right there, if they'd be so kind?
I shoot the first person through the door. I've told you that. What you'd do is absolutely nothing up to this point. When you actually spring into action and what you'd do then to handle it 'so much better' is a complete mystery.
Thank you for your expert analysis.
So it is a bit of push and shove. But why do you have your gun out? You gonna wave it about for show? They were already guarding the door 'at gunpoint'. At some point you have to use it. As a last resort. And if a mob breaking down last line of defence between them and congressmen and women and you don't think that's the last resort then I'm glad that there was someone there who did.
She was wrong but that doesn't necessarily mean she deserved to be killed..
Not many people deserve to die, but if you do remarkably stupid things when there are armed men between you and the people you are trying to get to in the very centrepiece of America's democratic process then we shouldn't be surprised at the outcome.
Come back to earth. The mob at the Capitol on Jan. 6th injured 140 police officers. AI overview:

On the day that the liberals bring BLM rioters and pro-Hamas rioters to justice shall be the day that I do agree that the J6 protesters were brought to proper justice. But, I don't see that day going to happen.Come back to earth. The mob at the Capitol on Jan. 6th injured 140 police officers. AI overview:
Approximately 140 police officers were injured during the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, with at least 15 requiring hospitalization, while the exact number of injured rioters is unknown. Among the officers' injuries were traumatic brain injuries, cracked ribs, and a loss of an eye. While the official number of reported police injuries was 140, some sources suggest this number may be an undercount of all physically injured officers.Some on the right need to get out of their conspiracies and ..untruths.
From an officer who was in the midst of it all:
Pingeon recalls his team being outnumbered and says he was punched in the face by rioters who had descended on the Capitol that day to protest the certification of the 2020 presidential election results, fueled by false claims about election fraud spread by Former President Donald Trump."I was knocked on my back," Pingeon said. "My helmet came down and felt like someone was on top of me and I couldn't see anything. And I remember just thinking, I have to protect my gun, because they stole my baton."Pingeon wasn't injured as severely as other officers, but he has invisible scars that may never fully heal.From another officer:
Police officer who survived Jan. 6 has a warning for the country • Wisconsin Examiner
Injured in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol attack, former police officer Michael Fanone warns people about what happened that day.
A group of officers, mostly from the D.C. department, were holed up in the tunnel after they were overrun by rioters while in the Capitol itself. Injured cops had sequestered themselves in some adjacent tunnels, and fellow officers were trying to help them “because we couldn’t get paramedics or any type of medical assistance into the building, because it wasn’t secure at that point,” Fanone told the Wisconsin Examiner.Had the crowd of rioters swarming outside the tunnel managed to break through the defending line of cops, “we would have been trampled to death,” he said.Fanone told the committee that some in the crowd were “trying to grab hold of my gun.” He heard some shout “kill him with his own gun,” he testified. “I believe there were individuals in that crowd who intended to kill me.”Rioters seized Fanone, dragging him down the steps of the Capitol. They beat him with pipes, stunned him with a Taser and sprayed him with bear spray, he recalled. In the midst of the assault he had a heart attack, and he got a concussion from the blows to his head. In a broadcast months later CNN aired footage of the assault on Fanone from his own body camera.
On Jan. 6, 2021, it was a crime scene - the site of a bloody, hourslong struggle between law enforcement and a mob of supporters of President-elect Donald Trump."My fellow officers and I were punched, kicked, shoved, sprayed with chemical irritants by a violent mob," Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell testified to Congress about his experience in the tunnel on Jan. 6. "I could feel myself losing oxygen and recall thinking to myself: 'this is how I'm going to die - defending this entrance.'"
Ashli Babbitt and her fellow rioters broke windows to get in The police told them to stop and they did not stop. That is criminal. Ashli and her fellow mob members are criminals. Her own actions led to her death.
Stop with the false stories like in your post. They were not innocent little kids.
Do you even google, bro?
Looks like to me that most of the BLM rioters, even when arrested, did not get the justice that criminals deserved.Do you even google, bro?
Over 300 People Facing Federal Charges For Crimes Committed During Nationwide Demonstrations
The Department of Justice announced today that more than 300 individuals in 29 states and Washington, D.C., have been charged for crimes committed adjacent to or under the guise of peaceful demonstrations since the end of May.www.justice.gov
Many of the charges were dropped because the arrests themselves were bad:
There's a big difference between kettling and then arresting people protesting in the street and arresting people for breaking into the capitol and threatening elected officials.
And remember, all of the J6 people were pardoned, even the ones who did really bad stuff.
Do you think that the militias would have backed off if Antifa was storming their compounds? I'd say that there'd be a lot of dead invaders.
"the liberals are not a legal entity, and pro-Hamas folks come from a vary of stances.
