U.S. Capitol Police don't think the way you think while you try to project negatively onto them. Capitol Police were armed on J6 yet there was no massacre of the violent and malign insurrectionist rioters who broke into the building and that swarmed the House chamber, the Senate chamber and the leadership offices in the building.Re hapless Ashli Babbit, she was in the wrong place at the wrong time who did not listen to warnings. Did she deserve to be shot and killed by a nervous black cop because she was entering the building like couple of thousand idiot rioters? NO.
And the cop who killed her got promoted to Captain on the police force. What does that tell other city cops about shooting unarmed suspects? If that nervous cop killed an unarmed civilian protestor, then they should be able to do that too.
"Hang Mike Pence!"
"Where's Nancy?"
Babbit was trying unrelentingly to break through barricaded doors to the House Chamber where members of Congress were sprawled on the floor between the aisles and under seats where gas masks were in place; some of 'em were in the gallery under tentative police protection before all of 'em were evacuated. LEA knew guns were present among a number of the MAGAs outside at the rally and outside the building which your irresponsible post ignores.
The disciplined and trained U.S. Capitol Police absorbed a great deal of abuse physically and mentally without breaking their discipline against using their weapons inside the building and in the legislative chambers and offices -- using their firearms against the public. Babbit was the exception in which the officer acquitted himself well.
Indeed, the U.S. Capitol Police in their specialized and unique training and selected role as LEO are not the common municipal flatfoot in South Carolina shooting an unarmed black man in the back while he runs away, nor are the U.S. Capitol Police your lawless flatfoot in Missouri shooting to death the unarmed Michael Brown for lifting a handful of cigars and resisting arrest. U.S. Capitol Police are extraordinary LEO who merit and deserve our recognition, our respect and our support.
