Glad to see the capital police Chief speak out against it.

2020 election is the reason Ms. Babbitt ended up in harm's way.
rioting mob hunting down members of Congress who were evacuating. She got what she had coming.
Imagine a group of Latinos or Blacks or Muslims storming the US Capitol while Congress was certifying the electoral vote in favor of a Republican.
My guess is Josh Hawley would not be pumping his fist. My guess is that the family of any perpetrators shot to death with justification would not be getting a $5 million.

I don’t think so. The insurrection leaders should be in court for discriminating against minorities.
Trump knew this. Hence, it was easy to sell election fraud to his base.

The legal question was whether deadly force was justified. The law enforcement officer was cleared. Not a close call. See January 6th video. As 94 has aptly posted, Capitol Police exercised remarkable restraint.
Generally, our legal system is historically racist. Well documented re sentencing disparity and traffic stop disparity. But, I am glad to see it has substantially improved over my 35 year career.

The court didn't award her settlement, Trump DOJ did.

(murder) after detaining him for purchasing something using a counterfeit $20 (he likely had no idea it was counterfeit) - note actually murdered him where as Babbitt was shot while working with a mob of insurrectionists after breaking into the Capitol building in the act of trying to “hang” the US Vice President or kill anyone in the US Congress in order to stop the process of certifying a Presidential election.
One was murdered by ruthless beat cops and the other was shot in defense of the US Congress and the US Vice President.
You and your cult are a bunch of MAGAfuckwads.

Personally, I don't think either one deserves a payout, but Democrats set the precedent.
hunting down members of Congress being evacuated from the Capitol due to a riot that she was participating in. Otherwise, exactly the same.
