    The final report said that any officers that were on the same side of the door were forced to evacuate, so the mob is what got in the way.

    The mob kept them from doing anything at all; they got forced out. Babbitt was not very smart and her Gung-ho got her killed.

    None of those “rioters” were very smart at all. They were frenzied by emotion and ignorance. They attacked and beat cops. They caused one to have a stroke. “Rioters” were killed and injured, all while the smart ones, who organized that thing: just like Unite The Right, sat back and executed their will over the country all while making money…THEY killed Ashley Babbitt and any others who died that day.

    That is a legitimate question.

    He could not have known if she was armed, but you can't use deadly force against someone because they MIGHT be armed. When she was shot, she was in the window She hadn't entered the room yet. Both hands were occupied in trying to get herself through. At the time he shot her, she posed no imminent threat. He actually had time to come out of his hiding place and try to prevent her from making through the window. Instead, he chose to shoot her. He wasn't forced to shoot her, which really is what every defensive shooting should amount to, a situation in which the defender is FORCED to shoot. He still had options and at that point what really matters is that she did not pose an imminent threat.

    Had she made it through the window and presented a weapon of even initiated a violent physical attack, he probably would have been justified in his actions, but none of that happened.

    If you or I had done the same thing, we would be facing charges right now.

    It also doesn't justify the use of lethal force. You don't know what her intent was or what she was going to do when she made it thorough the window, even if she confronted members of Congress.

    Could have been, but wasn't.

    That is an important question, but I doubt very much it will ever be answered.
