Time for a reality fact-check on the whitewashing of an unjustifiable police shooting.

“For my part, wh**ever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole t***h; to know the worst, and to provide for it.” —Patrick Henry (1775)
There was a flood of media churn last week about the protracted e******n of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) — but then aren’t protracted e******ns the new norm?
Amid all the talkinghead blather, you may have missed Joe Biden’s lame second anniversary celebration of the J****** 6 “i**********n,” and how we almost lost our “democracy.” (It’s a Republic, Joe.)
It was also the last hurrah for former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s histrionic J6 inquisition, which despite her worst efforts had little to no bearing on the 2022 midterm “red ripple.”
This left it to Joe Biden to keep the J6 mythology alive, and he did so by presenting a handful of “P**********l Citizen Medals” to Capitol and Metro Police, and a couple of citizens. Indeed, a relatively small handful of the r**ting jackasses disgracefully assaulted cops that day.
In his presentation remarks, Biden propagated lies that he’s repeated since 2020, the most vile of which is that police officers were k**led that day.
Most of those claims have been the patently false assertion that U.S. C*****l P****e Officer Brian Sicknick was k**led by protesters.
In fact, as I thoroughly documented at the time, and as later confirmed by the U.S. C*****l P****e (USCP), Officer Sicknick, an Air Force veteran and Donald Trump supporter, died after the r**t of natural causes. That notwithstanding, the Biden administration had that information suppressed for months so that Pelosi and Chuck Schumer could desecrate his life of service by using his death as political fodder.
Rather than circling back to his old lie, Biden generated a new one last week, declaring: “Today is a ceremony … to recognize the late U.S. C*****l P****e Officer Billy Evans. His family is with us today. Three months after J*** 6, while they were still cordoning off the Capitol because … threats by these sick i**********nists continued to be profligated [sic] on the internet, again all of America saw what happened when Officer Evans was k**led defending a checkpoint he had to go through to get to the Capitol because of these god-awful, sick threats that continue to move forward.”
That was a BIG god-awful lie. Fact is, Officer Evans was murdered by a radical black Islamist extremist who had no connection to Trump or the J6 protest groups.
Biden then attempted to pivot to “v**er intimidation,” declaring, “Defending and protecting our democracy means that despite our differences of opinion, we must say clearly with a united voice that there is no place — none, zero, zero place — in America for v**er intimidation — zero, never.” That was spin to support the Demos’ so-called “v**er rights” bulk-mail b****t fraud strategy.
Of course, many other Democrats have repeatedly spun the lie about USCP officers being k**led, including Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), who declared protesters were “k*****g law enforcement officers.” Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL) claimed last week: “I hugged the families of the heroic police officers who lost their lives during the violent J****** 6th i**********n. … All freedom-loving Americans owe a debt to the officers who died … protect[ing] the Capitol at the cost of their lives.” Maybe she was hugging the same ghost figures with whom Biden keeps trying to shake hands.
Seizing Biden’s BS momentum, lawyers for a family member of Officer Brian Sicknick announced a lawsuit against Trump and two r****rs.
Time for a reality fact-check.
Let’s recall the one person who was actually k**led during the Capitol r**t. First, I should distinguish that the “r**t” was primarily limited to thugs outside the building, and most of those who entered the building, while inexcusable, were not “r****rs,” and hardly qualified as protesters.
That single fatality was Ashli Babbitt, a 35-year-old 14-year Air Force veteran, a white, five-foot two-inch, 110-pound unarmed woman from California. Babbitt was, by any objective account, unjustifiably shot and k**led by an inept black USCP officer, Lt. Michael Byrd.
Can you imagine the outcry if the race of the assailant and victim were reversed? And to protect him from any scrutiny and keep him quiet, Biden provided him taxpayer-funded VIP accommodations at Andrews Air Force base for almost 7 months.
Babbitt was k**led as she foolishly attempted to climb through a broken window within the Speaker’s Lobby. I have written at length about the circumstances of her death, including the fact that she was wrong for being there, and the fact that investigators closed the shooting review without releasing any details to the public.
Unlike every other officer-involved shooting everywhere outside the Beltway, there has been no public information released about Babbitt’s shooter or the circumstances justifying that shooting — and not a shred of information about the justification or competence of the officer involved. DC Demos have sealed the records from any public scrutiny. For that reason, there is no reason to trust the decision to exonerate that officer, especially given the political influence of the Biden regime in that cover-up.
The only public knowledge about Ashli Babbitt’s death were the graphic videos of the shooting, which have since been removed from YouTube (of course), but one video remains here — a video that clearly shows the circumstances from her side of the door before and after her death.
What’s evident from that video and from reports of those present is that there were four uniformed officers within feet of Babbitt, at least four additional heavily armed r**t police, and one or more plain-clothed officers — none of whom made an effort to prevent her attempt to climb through the broken window of the door before she was shot and k**led. There is no apparent justification for Officer Byrd’s use of deadly force, and it was fortunate that none of the other officers immediately behind Babbitt were injured by his reckless actions.
The USCP has been exempted by Congress from Freedom of Information Act requests, but there was and is nothing preventing the USCP from releasing the full investigative report — other than protecting one of its own in order to protect the Demos’ narrative. I mean, Byrd has already been cleared, right?
So, case closed?
Unfortunately, yes, until it is reopened as a result of a wrongful death civil liability suit Ashli Babbitt’s family has yet to file, most likely because of government stonewalling of the release of reports on the shooting, and whitewashing of the details.
So, now that Republicans have regained control of the House under the aforementioned Kevin McCarthy, will they open up the Babbitt shooting files? Probably not, because doing so will draw attention to the ugliness of J6, and Republicans in DC and nationwide would like to move on. However, they already have issued their own J6 report, and may also release some or all of 14,000 hours of video from the USCP.
Meanwhile, almost 980 people have been arrested in connection with the Capitol breach case, but the most dangerous person in DC on the day of the Capitol r**t, an actual terrorist, has not been arrested. The FBI and BATFE are offering a $100,000 reward for information to convict the person who left pipe bombs outside both the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters the night before the protest.
In stark contrast, the J6 r**t was not even remotely as deadly or destructive as the almost 600 “summer of rage” r**ts by violent Democrat mobs that besieged our nation for six months prior to the “Capitol i**********n.” It is estimated that there were more than 50 deaths directly associated with that violence, 19 in just the first two weeks of the r**ts.
Those r**ts were prompted by the Demos’ “s******c r****m” lie after the death of drug thug G****e F***d, and fomented by Demo support for their Marxist so-called Black L***s M****r radicals.
The Demos’ “summer of rage” caused billions of dollars in damages, and the murder victims included several law enforcement officers, notably David Dorn and Dave Patrick Underwood, at the same time Democrats were calling to “defund the police” and vilifying cops.
The resulting surge in violence continues today.
But on J****** 6, 2021, Democrats finally found a r**t they could condemn. If not for double standards, Democrats would have NO standards.
And finally, a note of irony: Among a few people arrested in DC on the second anniversary of the whitewashing of Ashli Babbitt’s k*****g was her mother, who was charged with gathering without a permit when she and a small group gathered to remember her daughter.

Ashli knew that becoming an i**********nist and breaking into the capital was a dangerous thing to do.
She accepted that danger and did it anyway.
Enough said.

There have been people charged with S*******s Conspiracy.
Call it what you like, but attacking the government with the intent to o*******w the duly elected President is an i**********n.
Here's the actual definition:
in·sur·rec·tion
noun
a violent uprising against an authority or government.
So the question should actually be: How can you not call it an i**********n?

What needs investigation is why more r****rs weren't shot. They were violent, assaulted the police, broke into the Capitol, and where chanting to "Hang Mike Pence" (a threat to commit murder). People were afraid for their lives.
It's pathetic. And the whiners that complain because one person was shot...

Maybe she didn't break in. It could be very likely that she entered through one of the doors that
the c*****l p****e were holding open for them. I saw that in the news coverage. May be hard to find now.
Holding the door open, seems to me would be a conspiracy. Why are they not charged?

What happened that day was a disgrace but thinking that more should have been shot do you feel the same way about the violent B*M protestors? If so, fair enough. If not, why not?

Were they breaking into the Capitol and threatening to k**l the Vice President?
But most of the B*M protests were peaceful, most of the deaths were besides the protests, and most were not committed by the protesters or police.

When she was shot, she was entering an inner room through a window in a door that was broken by her and the other perpetrators. Had the officer allowed her to enter, others would have followed her.
I think we should all put this to rest. In the end, the lesson is, don't enter through a broken window that you broke with the purpose of h*****g the Vice President.
Perhaps your concern would be better placed with the many officers who were injured and those that died later that day. If not mourn for her, if you must, but she'll get no sympathy from me.

Clearly not "by the book". But it's not an analogous situation. Floyd was not part of a mob out to k**l the Vice President while trying to break into a room where people were trapped. But clearly, you think that's okay.

They'll all be held accountable. Take a look at who were involved and you can be sure they are on deck either as witnesses or defendants.
