Gosar demands investigation of death in Capitol riots

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., has doubled down on his fierce criticism of the police response to the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, calling for an investigation into the death of a protestor shot by a Capitol police officer.

“Six months ago today, Ashli Babbitt, a 110-pound woman with nothing in her hands, not a rock, not a stick or a bat, was shot dead by a still unknown Capitol Hill police officer. Her death has been ruled a homicide. Yet, we have very little information about her death. Our fake news media has asked no questions or sought information about this tragedy. So, I have. And now President Trump has joined me in seeking the truth,” said Gosar this week in a press release.”

He called on the Justice Department to release the name of the officer who fired a single shot as Babbitt attempted to push through a broken window to get into the anteroom outside the chambers where lawmakers were being evacuated.

The U.S. Justice Department in April declined to bring any criminal charges against the unnamed officer after an investigation lasting several months.

deaths of the cops.

They want this looked at, but they all voted against a January 6 commission that would look at this and the rest of the treasonous insurrection.

They really are the lowest scum.

I think the whole thing could have been avoided if the police had simply started killing the "ring leaders"... the Proud Boys, the Oaf Creepers, etc before they broke into the building.

They should have been shot once the barricades were breached. Actually it was shocking that they weren't met with deadly force. There's no doubt that the restraint exercised by the safety forces was orchestrated by Traitor Don and his minions.

And I’m sure Rep. Gosar knows that, but is choosing to ignore it to support his narrative.

homicide
n. the killing of a human being due to the act or omission of another. Included among homicides are murder and manslaughter, but not all homicides are a crime, particularly when there is a lack of criminal intent. Non-criminal homicides include killing in self-defense, a misadventure like a hunting accident or automobile wreck without a violation of law like reckless driving, or legal (government) execution. Suicide is a homicide, but in most cases there is no one to prosecute if the suicide is successful. Assisting or attempting suicide can be a crime.

She, along with an mob of Insurrectionists, stormed the US Federal Congressional Capital building while Congress was in process of nominating the next President of the United States. She broke and was trying to breach the door to enter into the chamber or Congress was in session. What would she have done if she would’ve gotten through the door?

No tears for a dead stupid traitor.

He lost by a mile, get the fuck over it or cry it out -whatever works for your special feelings. Don’t get vaccinated and die quickly please. I want to get back to normal as soon as possible.
