>> Anyone, police officer or not, can shoot anyone who is in the act of committing a violent crime.

Yeah, she had committed zero violence and there isn't the slightest chance she was going to. She had no weapon. She was moving from a stairway landing to a hallway where she was faced with numerous armed cops. No violence, whatsoever.

A half dozen or so cops had just stood on that landing not ten seconds earlier, shrugged and walked back down the stairs. They were literally within about 10-15 feet from her at the instant she was murdered and had tacitly approved what was happening. She did not break the window AFAIK. It was there, and she jumped into it.

Just tragic. Bizarre that you're defending a murder like this.

I think the officer that shot Babbitt may very well have been secret service, Pence's protection team.
