Who killed Ashli Babbitt, and why?

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/10/2021 12:19:14 AM

People who read my posts about policing know that I’m pro-cop. They know that when police officers use force against people who are violating the law or refusing to follow reasonable instructions, I’m inclined to give the officers the benefit of the doubt, if there is doubt. That’s how I view these cases whether the person shot by the police is a street criminal, an antifa thug, or a right-winger. The standards of conduct and the presumptions should be the same regardless of who has been shot. However, there are, indeed, standards of conduct that apply, and police officers must be held accountable

Why don't the Republicans walk to that microphone and announce the name? Where is motor mouth Lindsey Graham? Where it turkey gobbler Mitch McConnell, the silent leader? Does anybody know where Kevin McCarthy is? I wonder if any of them would like to say something about Republican political prisoners being held in DC jails without bail, and without being convicted of anything? I would like to hear Mitch McConnell explain how that justice system works.

Regardless of why this clown murdered Ashli Babbitt, the message in the aftermath is crystal clear, and being sent by both parties: Interfere with the doings of the deep state, and you too may be murdered or held incommunicado without any real charges. If Republicans cared to draw a distinction between themselves and their commie friends across the aisle, this would be the place to do it. Their silence speaks volumes.

There is a secret rule in government as well as in business that when an affirmative action hire messes up royally, he still gets to play the race card, the one that got him hired in the first place. The cardinal rule in any good shooting is that one or more lives must be in danger. Apparently the only life in danger was Ashli's, so Michael Leroy Byrd should be in jail awaiting trial right now.

The LEO who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt was "not" in imminent danger. What the LEO did goes against all self defense training when one points a gun. If the individual who was killed was George Floyd, all hell would break loose. The same standard applies to the killing of Ashli Babbitt.

#6, this is crap that Nancy is throwing out there. The Capital Police does NOT have jurisdiction anywhere but in the U.S. Capital. She is trying to take the attention away from the mess that she created on Jan 6. The Federal Government is using the intimidation to make people shut up about the disaster on that day. The only way to bring back sanity will be elections and audits of the prior elections. Have people go to jail that actually broke the law during election day.

I remember when a young black woman with a baby in her car was shot and killed by the capital police for making a wrong turn in DC. They were never held accountable nor did we ever find out who they were. Aren't they the ones who were in charge of the Vince Foster investigation? They are totally incompetent in every way.

Billionaire Richard Branson flew to space in his company Virgin Galactic’s rocket plane on Sunday. After takeoff from the Spaceport America facility in New Mexico, the VSS Unity spacecraft detached from the VMS Eve launch plane and passed the “Armstrong Line” about 50 miles above the Earth’s surface. The Federal Aviation Administration defines space as beginning at the Armstrong Line. Branson, who started as a record-store owner in the 1970’s and built a fortune over the next several decades as head of Virgin Group, had founded Virgin Galactic in 2004 to facilitate space tourism.

For all the fawning that the mainstream media does over Democrats, there’s a dirty little secret that’s rarely spoken of within the news industry. Julia Ioffe, a far-left journalist, decided to go ahead and say the quiet part out loud on that front. Ioffe, who spun wild conspiracy theories about Russia and championed Fox News being de-platformed, is certainly no friend of Republicans. She also once accused Donald Trump of incest — because that’s just what journalists do. Yet, in her newsletter, she expressed her frustration with how Democrats are expected to be treated by the press. I don’t think too many on the right will be surprised to read

The Federal Aviation Authority announced on Tuesday that it dealt an airline passenger a $10,500 fine for refusing to cover his nose with his mask and allegedly intimidating a flight attendant. The FAA said in a press release that flight attendants on an Allegiant Air flight from Utah to Arizona repeatedly told the passenger to cover his nose and mouth with a mask, however the passenger immediately “moved it off of his nose after the flight attendant walked away.” Flight attendants then told him they would have to file a disturbance complaint, however the passenger “argued” and “claimed that it was fine just over his mouth.”

If you want to stick it to big corporations and rein in their real or perceived abuses, use your political prowess and the laws of your own sovereign country to do it. Instead, the Biden administration wants to sidestep this responsibility and cede U.S. corporate tax policy to create a new global corporate tax rate. Price-fixing tax rates, if you will, would make it harder for companies to jump to cheaper countries to do business. Instead of competition, this group of nations seeks to make businesses their captives. This is not tax policy, it’s the establishment of a cartel.

President Biden dismissed Social Security commissioner and Trump appointee Andrew Saul from his post Friday after he refused to resign. As justification for releasing him, the White House claimed Saul “politicized” the subject of his work and that his performance in the role was unsatisfactory. “Since taking office, Commissioner Saul has undermined and politicized Social Security disability benefits, terminated the agency’s telework policy that was utilized by up to 25 percent of the agency’s workforce, not repaired SSA’s relationships with relevant Federal employee unions including in the context of COVID-19 workplace safety planning, reduced due process protections for benefits appeals hearings, and taken other actions that run contrary

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has urged school districts to fully reopen in the fall without mandatory coronavirus vaccination of all students and staff. Teachers and students who are fully vaccinated against coronavirus are not recommended to wear masks. Those who are unvaccinated — including children under the age of twelve for whom a vaccine has not yet been approved — should continue to wear masks, according to the new CDC guidelines. The guidance emphasizes that schools should continue to offer in-person learning even in cases where some coronavirus mitigation strategies are not feasible. For example, is impossible.

The Democrats have a problem: They have run away from their core voters. And they are beginning to notice and worry. Lefty blogger Kevin Drum noted this recently. He observes that Republicans have moved slightly to the right, but Democrats have moved way, way to the left on social issues. Drum says he is “personally happy” about the Democrats’ move left. But he is worried, because while the Democratic Party has moved hard left, the voters it relies on to attain power haven’t. Thus, in the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump — despite being called a white supremacist and a Hispanic-hater

The administration of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania has ordered counties not to comply with a Republican state senator’s request for voting data to be used in an audit of the 2020 election. The Pennsylvania Department of State said in a two-page directive that the request by state Sen. Doug Mastriano of Franklin County, an ally of former President Donald Trump, “jeopardizes the security and integrity” of the counties’ voting systems. " Such access by third parties undermines chain of custody requirements and strict access limitations necessary to prevent both intentional and inadvertent tampering with electronic voting systems,” the department said.

Crowds cheered as workers removed a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday morning following a contentious four year legal battle. The 26-foot tall bronze monument - which has stood in the city's Emancipation Park since 1924 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 - was hoisted off it base with a crane shortly after 8am. It will now be placed in storage. A separate statue of Confederate General Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson will also be removed in Charlottesville on Saturday afternoon. Both Lee and Jackson fought against the abolition of slavery in the US Civil War.

New evidence indicates that more than 10,300 illegal votes were cast in Georgia in the November 2020 general election — a number that will continue to rise over the next several months, potentially exceeding the 12,670 votes that separated Joe Biden and Donald Trump. While this evidence does not change the fact that Joe Biden is our president, all Americans who genuinely care about free and fair elections and the disenfranchisement of voters should demand both transparency and solutions to prevent a repeat in future elections.
