Babbitt

Ashli Babbitt is the woman who was shot and killed by a police officer during the riot at the capitol. In the United States, the use of deadly force by sworn law enforcement officers is lawful when the officer reasonably believes the subject poses a significant threat of serious bodily injury or death to themselves or others. Babbitt was a unharmed smallish woman and the question is why did the officer feel she was a dangerous threat. Last July in Minneapolis a police officer answering a 911 call shot an unarmed women and he was sentenced to 12 years. Investigators have determined the Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt during the U.S. Capitol riot should not be charged with any crimes, a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation told NBC News.
