Thirty-five U.S. Capitol Police officers are being investigated for their actions

Throughly investigate their actions. And even more thoroughly investigate those up the ladder from them. Look into who was pulling strings and who all paid for Trump's failed attempt to steal the election and overthrow the remaining bits of US democracy.

Investigated for shooting an unarmed war veteran in the face?

-6 ( +0 / -6 )

The unarmed Domestic terrorist was actively seeking to breach the last line of defense to the legally-elected representatives of a co-equal branch of government in order to commit terrorist acts.

In other words, a legit use of deadly force.

There is no possible justification for an armed man to shoot and kill an unarmed woman.

Yes there is. We saw it at the Capitol.

Remember how republicans always tell black people they should listen to the police? Well, Babbitt didn't.

There is no possible justification for an armed man to shoot and kill an unarmed woman.

I completely agree, none, zero!

Government firearms should not be used against civilians who have no weapons.

Period!

Yes.

Investigated for shooting an unarmed war veteran in the face?

You mean the idiot who broke through a locked door into a restricted area behind which police officers were standing to protect Congress? How did they know she was unarmed as she climbed through the broken window and advanced on them?

There is no possible justification for an armed man to shoot and kill an unarmed woman.

Other than it was a restricted area, she was committing a crime and there were about 100 people right behind her, some of whom were armed and had violence on their minds. Other than that, you’re completely correct

In other words, you are absolutely incorrect.

5 ( +5 / -0 )

Let’s look at the objective facts:

She was among a large armed group who overwhelmed the capital police using violence and entered the capital illegally.

She was at the last line of defense.

The officer on the other side held his fire even when the insurrectionists were breaking the glass.

Several people on the domestic terrorists’ side saw the gun and loudly announced “gun!”

She breached the opening anyway, got shot and died. Her gender and service history are irrelevant.

I noticed that after she was shot, the rest of the mob lost its appetite for breaching the door.

Every member of both Houses of Congress lived.

Legitimate use of deadly force.
