Capitol Police ‘didn’t have a choice’ in shooting Ashli Babbitt, GOP lawmaker says

Sounds like she got pretty close to some Congressmen.

“They were trying to come through the front door, which is where I was at in the chamber, and in the back they were trying to come through the speaker’s lobby, and that’s problematic when you’re trying to defend two fronts,” Mullin said.

“When they broke the glass in the back, the [Capitol Police] lieutenant that was there — him and I already had multiple conversations prior to this — and he didn’t have a choice at the time.

“The mob was going to come through the door, and there was a lot of [House] members and staff that were in danger at the time,” he added.

The best account is from some dude on King’s Twitter feed? You’re just messing with me now right?

Post better bud. Would love to see it if it's out there.

Not sure either deserved to be shot.

I didn't say they necessarily deserved to be shot. Just that they had earned it. Mostly through their idiocy.

So we have the officer’s statement.

He shot her at point blank range. It wasn’t a random shot at people bursting through a door.

Was she a member of AFSOC? Jeez, post better.

Nah I'm good. You're trying to get people to say someone deserved to die. It's not gonna happen.

Biden goes the race card route. Awesome sign for the next four years.

Not at all, pointing out the hypocrisy from you and others.

It’s becoming hard to distinguish the men from the pigs these days.

As did PTI. Rambling on about no resistance by the police due to race. Ignoring the police shot someone.
