B-Man Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 JONATHAN TURLEY: Shooter of Ashli Babbit Makes Shocking Admission: “That’s my job.” Those three words summed up a controversial interview this week with the long-unnamed officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6. Shortly after being cleared by the Capitol Police in the shooting, Lt. Michael Byrd went public in an NBC interview, insisting that he “saved countless lives” by shooting the unarmed protester. I have long expressed doubt over the Babbitt shooting, which directly contradicted standards on the use of lethal force by law enforcement. But what was breathtaking about Byrd’s interview was that he confirmed the worst suspicions about the shooting and raised serious questions over the incident reviews by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and, most recently, the Capitol Police. Babbitt, 35, was an Air Force veteran and ardent supporter of former President Trump. She came to Washington to protest the certification of the presidential Electoral College results and stormed into the Capitol when security lines collapsed. She had no criminal record but clearly engaged in criminal conduct that day by entering Capitol and disobeying police commands. The question, however, has been why this unarmed trespasser deserved to die. . . . At the time, some of us familiar with the rules governing police use of force raised concerns over the shooting. Those concerns were heightened by the DOJ’s bizarre review and report, which stated the governing standards but then seemed to brush them aside to clear Byrd. The DOJ report did not read like any post-shooting review I have read as a criminal defense attorney or law professor. The DOJ statement notably does not say that the shooting was clearly justified. Instead, it stressed that “prosecutors would have to prove not only that the officer used force that was constitutionally unreasonable, but that the officer did so ‘willfully.’” It seemed simply to shrug and say that the DOJ did not believe it could prove “a bad purpose to disregard the law” and that “evidence that an officer acted out of fear, mistake, panic, misperception, negligence, or even poor judgment cannot establish the high level of intent.” While the Supreme Court, in cases such as Graham v. Connor, has said that courts must consider “the facts and circumstances of each particular case,” it has emphasized that lethal force must be used only against someone who is “an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others, and … is actively resisting arrest or attempting to evade arrest by flight.” Particularly with armed assailants, the standard governing “imminent harm” recognizes that these decisions must often be made in the most chaotic and brief encounters. Under these standards, police officers should not shoot unarmed suspects or rioters without a clear threat to themselves or fellow officers. That even applies to armed suspects who fail to obey orders. Indeed, Huntsville police officer William “Ben” Darby recently was convicted for killing a suicidal man holding a gun to his own head. Despite being cleared by a police review board, Darby was prosecuted, found guilty and sentenced to 25 years in prison, even though Darby said he feared for the safety of himself and fellow officers. Yet law professors and experts who have praised such prosecutions in the past have been conspicuously silent over the shooting of an unarmed woman who had officers in front of and behind her on Jan. 6. In the eyes of the establishment — including those silent “law professors and experts” — she deserved to die because she was a Trump supporter. It’s all about that. https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/569827-justified-shooting-or-fair-game-shooter-of-ashlii-babbitt-makes-shocking Plus, the usual apparatchik entitlement: “Politico reported that Byrd previously was subjected to a disciplinary review when he left his Glock 22 service weapon in a bathroom in the Capitol Visitor Center complex. He reportedly told other officers that his rank as a lieutenant and his role as commander of the House chambers section would protect him and that he expected to ‘be treated differently.'” Well, he wasn’t wrong.

Instead of writing “Jordan answered the question…”, they changed it to “Jordan admitted…” adding a conspiratorial tone to the story. 4.

B-Man Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 54 minutes ago, BillStime said: So threatened. And over, and over, and over. No response. I guess we'll go back to talking Three Wise Men on January 6 By Silvio Canto, Jr As a kid growing up in a Cuban Catholic home, I remember waking up on January 6 and rushing to see gifts the Three Wise Men had left us. Kids in the U.S. had Santa Claus, and we had Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthasar, the three men who brought gifts to the baby Jesus. Last January 6, some people got out of control and charged the U.S. Capitol. It was immediately called an "insurrection" and got President Trump impeached. So where are we now? It appears that a lot of people, especially in the news media, have a little explaining to do, as Julie Kelly wrote: The Justice Department now seems to be prepping the ground for a major letdown. "The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result," Reuters reported August 20. Nearly all of the cases, four former and current law enforcement officials said, are "one-offs" while roughly five percent are associated with so-called militia groups. "FBI investigators did find that cells of protesters, including followers of the far-right Oath Keepers and Proud Boys groups, had aimed to break into the Capitol. But they found no evidence that the groups had serious plans about what to do if they made it inside," the unnamed sources told Reuters. So something happened, but not an effort to overthrow the U.S. government or an insurrection. Looking back, my gut feeling turned out to be right. I recall going locally on TV and saying I did not think the rioters were Trump-supporters. Why not? Because violence and chaos were never part of Trump rallies. Did you ever hear of Trump-supporters burning cities or attacking the police? Secondly, I always wondered about Capitol security. How could a major U.S. federal building be this unprotected? What if real terrorists with bombs had actually attacked the Capitol? So drop the probe unless we are looking into who decided to leave the Capitol unprotected. Thank God we are getting our January 6 back — the day that brings back so many childhood memories in Cuba. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/08/i_guess_well_go_back_to_talking_three_wise_men_on_january_6th.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have been more specific. Because only 4 people out of 600 or so being charged with possession, without brandishing their weapons, much less using them, and none being charged with insurrection/treason, isn't much of a winner for you. Yes, as a nation we've spent a crazy amount of money on trumped-up charges of trespassing, disorderly conduct, destruction of property and assault. We should have released them like we released the domestic terrorists/insurrectionists from last year. We would have saved a lot more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
