Re: Now we know who shot unarmed white woman - a black officer
The video is pretty clear. She was breaking through a barricade with a large crowd of people behind her clearly yelling, "Bust it down!" The threat was not just that she would get through but that an entire mob would get throughh. In the words of Andy Dufresne, "How could you be so obtuse? Is it deliberate?"BackInTex wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 10:29 pmYessilverscreenselect wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 9:51 pmDid you actually see any video of the shooting before you made your accurate and honest assessment?

Re: Now we know who shot unarmed white woman - a black officer
Prior to the shooting there were several guards outside the door, between the door and the crowd. They were neither attacked or harmed. There were several tactical officer behind the crowd. They were neither attacked or harmed. No doubt had the crowd been allowed through the door into the hallway any officers inside would have been treated equally.

Re: Now we know who shot unarmed white woman - a black officer
Not all the police in the building tried to stop the rioters. Whether that's through a sense of self-preservation or some other reason we'll probably never know. If they had tried to hold off the rioters, we might have had a repeat of the situation on the Capitol steps. I also don't think that it's any police training manual to let an angry mob just go by you and hope they don't hurt you or commit any other crimes. Plus, you're assuming that Officer Byrd was in contact with those inside the doors and knew what was happening to or with them.BackInTex wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 8:57 amPrior to the shooting there were several guards outside the door, between the door and the crowd.

Also, his duty was to prevent those rioters from gaining access to the Congressional chambers. His position was probably the last reasonably defensible position in their way. Perhaps you thought they were yelling "Hang Mike Pence" as a joke.

Re: Now we know who shot unarmed white woman - a black officer
Someone else who saw the Ashli Babbitt video and not the Fox News interpretation of it:
Ashli Babbitt was not a peaceful protester. It's clear why the cop who shot her was exonerated
Ashli Babbitt was not a peaceful protester. It's clear why the cop who shot her was exonerated
In the seven months since she was killed, [Ashli] Babbitt has become a martyr to the far right. In the twisted revisionist narrative being pushed by former President Trump and his supporters, she was a peaceful demonstrator — an “innocent, wonderful, incredible woman” — who was unjustifiably murdered by the police even though she posed no danger.
But that’s not what the video shows. Her death was a tragedy, to be sure — but it was hardly an unjustified murder. In our first view of Babbitt on the video she’s at the front of an angry mob trying to get through to the “Speaker’s Lobby,” where members of Congress and staff are holed up. She’s screaming at the police, apparently demanding entry.
The crowd is surging. It’s at the doors. “F— the blue!” can be heard. People are bashing at the glass panels on the doors with sticks and flagpoles. Several police officers are doing their best to hold back an entire crowd, but it seems like a losing battle. “Break it down,” yells the crowd. Members of Congress can be seen on the other side of the door. Also on the other side of the door is a police lieutenant holding a gun, pointing it at the mob, an unmistakable warning to stay back. As she climbs through, a single shot is fired and she drops to the floor.
I haven’t interviewed the witnesses or seen any more evidence than what I’ve described. But my normal human reaction to the video tells me that the Capitol Police and the Justice Department are absolutely right. I watched it repeatedly. Babbitt crossed a line that had been clearly delineated. The police obviously felt it was a last stand. The potential danger was obvious. Babbitt’s shooting appears to have stopped the forward movement of the crowd. All this happened on a day when the vice president’s life had been threatened, and when police were being savagely beaten elsewhere in the building.
Could the mob possibly have been stopped without Babbitt’s death? Maybe. Perhaps there was a way to have avoided deadly force. But it’s not clear to me what that way would have been — and it is clear that if Babbitt had gone through that doorway, an out-of-control situation would have deteriorated further.
These weren’t peaceful demonstrators. These weren’t protesters exercising their constitutionally protected right to calmly express differences of opinion with their elected representatives. They were bashing down the doors. This was a riot, Ashli Babbitt was at its vanguard, and, based on what I’ve seen, the police officer who shot her was doing his job.

Re: Now we know who shot unarmed white woman - a black officer
And what about the dozens of people behind her? This was not the typical one-on-one (or often several cops on one) confrontation that usually results in the use of a taser. Video of the shooting shows that the officer had his gun drawn and aimed when Babbitt came through the window. There was no way for the officer to know how well armed the first individual through the window would be, and there would have been no time for him to use a taser on Babbitt and then regroup and draw his pistol to use against the next people through the window.

Re: Now we know who shot unarmed white woman - a black officer
Not an answer. You're contending that the officer who fired in the defense of his own life and the life of others acted wrongfully, and should have either retreated or used a lower level of force that likely would have allowed the insurrectionists to physically enter the Capitol. I'd like to know whether you're holding the officer to a higher standard than you would in a stand-your-ground situation. I want to know whether you're being a hypocrite here because you happen to agree with the insurrectionists' politics (if not their tactics).
Would someone care to do the research to learn what, if anything, Estonut posted in response to the Trayvon Martin killing? It wouldn't surprise me at all if the posts evince a very different attitude toward the use of deadly force there. --Bob

Either this cop fired indiscriminately into the crowd, or he singled out a white female to shoot. Either way he should lose his job. She was not a direct and immediate threat.

And that wasn't the question. The question was whether he should have guarded the door against a large number of dangerous, possibly armed assailants using his taser or a gun. Or should he have stood there until the first person came through the window and then decided which weapon to draw?

I'm not aware of any controversial shootings involving street cops being confronted with a mob of angry rioters. Perhaps you have some examples.
