The Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt during the January 6 insurrection should not be prosecuted, an initial police investigation has concluded.
Babbitt, 35, was killed as she tried to climb through a broken window to get into congressional chambers, after breaking into the federal building with a mob of pro-Trump rioters.
On Monday night sources told The Wall Street Journal that the unnamed Capitol lieutenant had been cleared by an internal investigation.
The Justice Department will ultimately decide whether to press charges, and is yet to make their conclusions.

And in what way was that officer in danger when he fired on Babbitt?

And why are we finding out from a British media source? American media blacked out on this? We don't need to know this? Too unimportant?

No, of course not. Maybe they'll charge Rightful President Trump with felony murder, since he caused the death by fomenting the riot. No possibility is too far off the wall these days.

An unarmed white female protestor was murdered by a Capitol police person.
The Capitol police conduct their own investigation.
They can not be whited washed this by claiming that this protest was an
insurrection after all the leftest "protest" riots this year, that left tens of people
murdered and billions of dollars damage.

Which of course means that when they SHOOT YOU (unarmed), "internal investigation" will find some excuse for that shooter too. Perhaps you gave him a dirty look. Eventually they will have an excuse for even shooting a Mother Theresa, because, you know, Orange Man BAD. Play Taps for America because them stealin' Democrats are disappearing it right before your eyes. But don't WORRY because creepy Joe is gonna teach you CODING!

Why no name? Is it because he has a history of police brutality? Does he have social media that supports Antifa, BLM or some other terrorist organization? Was he in communication with other terrorists? The lack of a name or reporting by the propaganda instruments has all the coverup of premeditation.

The officer did what every swamp creature in Washington fantasizes (and tweets) about doing: killing Trump supporters. He won't even get a reprimand and he might even get a promotion. Shame. Shame. Shame.

Had to be at least a lieutenant. Regular Capitol police wear uniforms; the shooter was in a suit, dress shirt, etc. The article is wrong. He fired more than one shot. That was apparent from the video. I believe that he may have been black. Some thought he had on a glove. Not only did his hand look dark, but the skin was dark above his wrist where he wore some sort of bracelet.

Sounds like a cover up and a very quick whitewashing of the "investigation".

Look at that broken glass door panel on the right. No one was going to crawl over that big hunk of fixed glass at the bottom. A witness early on said she wanted to be boosted up so she could put her cell phone through the upper part of the broken out pane. Had she been even a little on his side, she’d have fallen on that big shard of glass, not straight backward as she did… Another coverup.

A travesty, for sure. What about the other deaths? Who were they and what were the causes of their deaths? Why is no one interested? I have a feeling several were natural causes, but the demomedia want it to look worse than it was.

He was 20 feet away from her and she was halfway inside a window. Besides, this horrible excuse for a mall cop shot a defenseless FEMALE whom he could have managed with his bare hands. Simply push her back outside the window. The forces of darkness in Washington DC are EVIL.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to find out his name. There can’t be that many Capitol Police Lieutenants who have been on leave for a few weeks. Who wants to do the sleuthing?

These were not all Trump supporters. The leading group were surely Antifa/BLM people. Look at the guy with horns who apparently said he would testify against Trump in any impeachment trial. One, no Trump supporter would be caught dead wearing that stupid outfit he had on, and two, no real Trump supporter would agree to testify against Trump in any trial.

The investigator that decided the officer shouldn't be charged should be charged in his place.

I know, its probably racist to suggest that a White Lives, or All Lives Matter group should be organized. People of every color should be outraged by this cowardly murder.

If the epidermal melanin ratio was reversed;... If the one assassinated was black, and the assassin was white, all other things being exactly the same; the media and the politicians would would be screaming about this for the next fifty years, and the #BLM / Antifa people would be burning entire cities.

Am I wrong, weren't there several people next to and BEHIND Babbit when she was shot?
How does any trained officer take that shot? This wasn't Hollywood make believe.

Re #20, if you look at the videos you’ll see that he was not 20 ft. away. He was off to the left side, his arm and hand with his gun extended out a bit from a doorway. He shot diagonally across at her. He fired several times (not just one) -you can see his hand and gun sort of jerk up each time. He was not far from her.

Back the blue... Oh, wait, she was one of ours!
There is no cavalry over the ridge, no bugles calling CHARGE! And the Republicans, of course, are in full disarray. And the USCP union (FOP) just wants a few more days off...for the "deadly" Capitol riots. Who made it deadly? PDT, of course.

#22, she was not Antifa or BLM. She was standing in the wrong spot at the wrong time. Look close at the picture of the capital police that shot her. He is wearing a suit, has a bracelet on and he is african american. Now you tell me how that would go over.....African american police officer shoots unarmed white woman hazardly without purpose. This police officer was careless. He should be put on leave and investigated by an unbiased source.

I'm going to be a bit of a contrarian here. Had the victim been a black man and clearly a Trump supporter his blackness would be totally irrelevant. Black only matters when it advances totalitarianism.

I hope Ashli Babbitt's family sues the Capitol Police. They should be able to get the name of the officer through discovery. Also, an alert press would find it out and publish it.

Maybe they aren't charging him because he really wasn't the person that shot Ashli Babbitt. Coverup with an unnamed Capitol Police officer as scapegoat? Has the officer ever been named? How do we know they even exist? Ok, I will take off my tin foil hat now.

As all things Biden, Pelosi, Democrat - it's a travesty of justice. He was in no danger. He should be fired and his fire arms taken away from him.

We have some reasonably good video of the officer who murdered her. We should be able to identify the black person who did it if we had a photo of each of them.
This is a coverup, pure and simple.

Everyone should have known this would be covered up, after all she was a Trump supporter and white. I read a story in Redpilled it gave the Agents name as David Bailey. If the story is true he had a Facebook account were he hated Trump supporters. The public deserves to know the cops name.
