So how many fatalities should there have been last summer in Portland and other cities where federal buildings were attacked/breachedOf course an angry mob presents a threat. I have already explained that the threat was a collective one. Simply describing Ashli Babbitt as "unarmed" doesn't tell the whole story. She was a member of a mob, and participating in mob violence. The threat was in the numbers.
"Party of law and order" my a$$.
No idea... I wasn't there. Had anyone been killed by the police while participating in acts of mob violence in Seattle or Portland in 2020, I damn sure wouldn't call it a murder. Ashli Babbitt is dead as a result of her own poor judgment.So how many fatalities should there have been last summer in Portland and other cities where federal buildings were attacked/breached
When dealing with an unorganized assemblage of people, having a dead body front and center can go a long way towards crowd dispersal. Nobody wants to be the 2nd body. It can cause others to do some much needed reflection, concerning whether or not the cause is worth dying for.If the threat is the sheer number of people then what good is shooting one going to do?
So in this case did everything stop when she was shot or did the crowd continue advancing?When dealing with an unorganized assemblage of people, having a dead body front and center can go a long way towards crowd dispersal.

If a black guy was running at a white cop with a knife and the cop shot him, there would be more street riots. I think its pretty obvious where the bias is.
Babbitt Shooting Internal Police Docs Reveal 'no good reason for shooting,' According to Judicial Watch
The documents show witnesses recount they did not see Babbitt holding a weapon
More than 500 pages of internal documents from DC Metropolitan Police concerning the fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt in the Capitol on Jan. 6 reveal witness accounts stating she was not holding a weapon at the time of her death and how "upset" the officer was after shooting her.
"These previously secret records show there was no good reason to shoot and kill Ashli Babbitt," stated Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, which obtained the documents through a May 2021 FOIA lawsuit. "The Biden-Garland Justice Department and the Pelosi Congress have much to answer for the over the mishandling and cover-up of this scandalous killing of an American citizen by the U.S. Capitol Police.
A Capitol Police sergeant, whose name is redacted, described seeing Babbitt climbing through a broken window, but did not witness her holding a weapon, according to a portion of the documents received by Judicial Watch.
"Sergeant [redacted] observed a white, female protester was climbing through an opened area where the glass pane had been knocked out. He heard a gunshot and this female fell backwards through the opening. The crowd on the other side of the barricaded east doors, began to step back and some put their hands in the air. Sergeant [redacted] observed Lieutenant Byrd step back just after hearing the gunshot. He did not see anything in the female protester’s hands prior to the gunshot," the Internal Affairs Division report stated.
"Sergeant [redacted] never went on the other side of the barricaded east door. He also did not know that it was Lieutenant Byrd who shot his gun until he talked to him moments after it occurred. Lieutenant Byrd looked upset and stated, ‘I was the one who took the shot,’" the report continued.
"Uh, I saw Lieutenant Byrd kinda. I don’t know if it was before or after. Cause I was trying to figure this out of, but there was at one point where I remember seeing him and he kind of went like this and then came back up again. Uh, I don’t know if that was from him taking the shot and then stepping back from that shot or if it was before that, I can’t, no matter how I tried to rack my brain, I can’t, I can’t figure out when that happened, but uh, so I don’t know if something happened to him where [sic] caused him to take the shot or not," the written transcript states.
He added that Byrd directed him and other officers to go down "into the subway" following the shooting.

Ok then remove the fact they are lawmakers in the capitol (which is actually really relevant but whatever)I'm sorry, but their lives are no more important than any other persons. Also, nice race baiting in post #792
What does that have to do with the post I responded to? I have no issue where her being shot. I have an issue with the idea that it was because there were lawmakers in the building.Ok then remove the fact they are lawmakers in the capitol (which is actually really relevant but whatever)
They were people being protected by officers behind a barricaded door. She attempted to breach that thru a broken out window and was shot.
