...Death Penalty offense to me...
Babbitt was reportedly climbing through a broken window near the Speaker's Lobby at the Capitol building when a gunshot was fired and she fell to the ground.
"The actions of the USCP officers 'WERE HEROIC' given the situation they faced, and I continue to have tremendous respect in the professionalism and dedication of the women and men of the United States Capitol Police."
So says Steven Sund, Chief of the United States Capitol Police (USCP).
Representative Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma said he witnessed the USCP officer shoot Babbitt.
Newsweek reached out to the Capitol police, but didn't hear back in time for publication.
If Ashli Babbitt was wearing a George Floyd t-shirt, she'd still be alive.
UPDATE: Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund resigns
Hey, maybe it isn't "heroic" to shoot unarmed women after all.
