"Schumer, D-N.Y., referred to the court’s two Trump appointees, Neal Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, and said, “You have unleashed the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”"

Schumer Remarks Draw Rebuke From Chief Justice | WSKG
Lawyers for the Center for Reproductive Rights and Louisiana faced a hot bench Wednesday in a case critical to abortion rights in the U.S. But the Chief Justice - a key vote - did not tip his hand.

Shooting an unarmed perosn who poses no credible threat (as evidenced by the militiple other officers presnet who did not respond to Babbitt as any kind of threat) could certainly end up with a murder conviction.
Why wouldn't she be eligible for military honors? Was she dishonorably discharged? If not, then she'll get military honors if she's eligible.
