>> Curious how the stand-your-ground crowd can call this murder with a straight face.
I'm not sure stand your ground is relevant here. Police abuse of force is. AFAIK, these are entirely different things, although cops in FLA, IIRC, did try to use it once; I don't know how that turned out. But that isn't DC.
That was a murder. I assume you've seen ALL the video. It was ugly as hell. I called George Floyd's murder a murder the instant I saw it. Same here.
Cops have no right to just shoot someone who clearly poses no threat to anyone (keeping in mind there were five or six heavily armed cops RIGHT WHERE SHE WAS STANDING less than ten seconds earlier). You remember, George Floyd. No threat. She had no weapon. And there were at least ten guns trained on her as her face appeared through the broken window.
I think another point that concerns me about this situation is all of the information on the alleged killings of cops and others is being withheld. Perhaps the investigations will one day be cleared, but these were white people. There are not going to be huge crowds (since there are now permanent fences apparently being erected around the Capitol, another side effect of this obviously stolen election).
I'm not quite sure how you look at the killing of Ashli Babbitt and call it anything but murder. No doubt, she was angry (justifiably, but still angry) and serious, but she was not equipped to take on six or eight armed cops. In any ordinary scenario cops are going to hold their fire until there is a threat. And if there is no threat, as here, Leftists are supposed to defend the innocent victim. WTF is going on here?
Had she not been murdered, no one was going to harmed. There is not a shred of evidence to suggest she had the means nor the opportunity to hurt anyone there in the slightest. Frankly, there is no such evidence about anyone else in that room other than the cops.
This "woe is me" bullshit is just a little too thick. I fully support peaceful protests, and what I see is roughly Kent State. Cops opened up unjustly on peaceful protestors, a couple of whom may have gotten out of line. |
