A lieutenant with the Capitol Police shot an unarmed Ashli Babbitt during the so-called &#8220;capitol insurrection&#8221;. An insurrection implies a coordinated attack. The FBI just released information that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/exclusive-fbi-finds-scant-evidence-us-capitol-attack-was-coordinated-sources-2021-08-20\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">there was scant evidence<\/a><\/strong> that it was a coordinated effort to overturn the election results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday, that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/video\/capitol-police-exonerate-officer-who-shot-and-killed-ashli-babbitt-on-jan-6-119182917877\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unnamed officer was officially exonerated<\/a><\/strong> for killing Babbitt. The Department of Justice had already said they would not be bringing charges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>L<a href=\"https:\/\/jonathanturley.org\/2021\/08\/22\/no-further-action-will-be-taken-officer-who-fatally-shot-ashli-babbitt-cleared-of-any-wrongdoing-by-capitol-police\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">aw professor Jonathan Turley does not agree<\/a><\/strong> that the officer involved met any standard for shooting an unarmed person. He is also critical of fellow law professors for essentially considered Babbitt fair game as she was part of the January 6th &#8220;insurrection&#8221; (that wasn&#8217;t).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9764805\/PIERS-MORGAN-know-killed-Ashli-Babbitt-dont-neither-does-family.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Piers Morgan notes<\/a><\/strong>, if you or I had been the one who shot a US Capitol Police officer, we would be named. Transparency in government demands that that this officer be likewise named. Heck, we know about Lon Horiuchi but not this guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can argue whether Ashli Babbitt was murdered or not. At the least in my opinion, it was manslaughter and the officer doing the shooting should be held accountable just like many other law enforcement officers have been held accountable over the last two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line is that the government gets away with doing it to you but you don&#8217;t get away from doing it to government. I am reminded of<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3AZ3l8v\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Dave Hardy&#8217;s excellent book &#8220;I&#8217;m from the Government and I&#8217;m Here to Kill You: The True Human Cost of Official Negligence&#8221;<\/a><\/strong>. The book covers everything from the Texas City ammo ship explosion to Operation Fast and Furious. In no case was any Federal official ever charged. Indeed, future Chief Justice Warren Burger argued for the DOJ that no compensation should be paid to the families of the 600 killed in the Texas City explosion.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>29 years ago today, a mother holding holding a baby was murdered by FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi.
