#2 Key words: "Didn't know." Great place to set the bar for use of lethal force.

#3 "Didn't know" (10% never get the word).....this was a gov't sanctioned extremist event, nor has he committed suicide just yet.

Still asking himself.... "why did they give me this pistol, all of this ammo, and hours of range time?"

#6 The MSM's difference of reaction to "mostly peaceful" protestors being killed is the starkest most jaw dropping thing for me.

#7 /\ #4 - "Kill them. For the Lord knows those that are His own."

Less formal English translations have given rise to variants such as "Kill them all; let God sort them out."

Most of have not, however, he is supposed to be a highly trained professional. He is supposed to be wearing communications equipment to know where security members are. He is supposed to have been trained for attacks on the Capital. Basic CCW training covers a lot of what her should have known and followed.

#9 The Capitol Police appear to be politically connected mall cops with no command structure worthy of the name.

I have been in similar situations in Jail/Prison riots (where I will guarantee you that murder is in the heart of those rioting) and in demonstrations in the Middle East and lately here in the US. I have never heard of an officer firing a round into a crowd where he was unsure if they were armed.

My assessment is that the officer had his finger on the trigger (not trained that way) and panicked...flinched and accidentally fired the single round because he stupidly had his finger on the trigger applying pressure because he was scared...he likely immediately regretted it.

-You keep your finger off the damn trigger...to avoid tragedies just like this.
-Within the force continuum you use deadly force to counter a deadly threat.

If he intentionally fired a single round killing an unarmed woman...well then I don't know what he is.

#12 The Capital protesters are not prison rioters, the vast majority are common people just like most Rantburgers. They were not armed.
Like I said the shooter is supposed to be highly trained.
I'd like to see him get a fair trial.

#13 The main thing that stood out for me in the original video shown of the killing was that there were several cops standing 4 feet from her and to the rear; there's no way the shooter didn't see them. So if he saw them and fired anyway? Can't agree that this is a case of "he panicked."

#14 I'd like to see him get a fair trial.

More likely he will be a pinochle partner for Lon Horiuchi...

#15 I saw videos from two angles, it was the second video that came out later than showed his arm outstretched through the window. He held his aim on her for a good minute to 90 seconds, and there were three Cap. Cops there, he was looking at them. His face appeared murderous, he wasn't scared. He wanted to kill someone.

#16 Chad Barrett Jones, 42, of Coxs Creek, Kentucky, is accused of trying to smash the windows of the door where Babbitt was shot with a long, wooden flagpole.

What caliber was the flagpole?
Wouldn't a sidearm be more efficacious?

#22 The Capitol Police appear to be politically connected mall cops

So the deepState surrounds itself with favoured grunts hired by the Left establishment, from their roster of American hating whatsits?

Goddamnit, this is becoming like Saddam's Iraq.
