A war of words has erupted between lawyers acting for the family of Ashli Babbitt and the unnamed Capitol police officer who fatally shot her during the January 6 insurrection.
Babbitt’s family are planning to file a $10 million wrongful death lawsuit against the officer who shot her as she tried to force her way through a broken window near to where lawmakers were being evacuated.
The officer has already been cleared of criminal wrongdoing by the Department of Justice.
A lawyer acting for the Babbitt family, Terry Roberts, alleged she was “ambushed” by the officer, and that the officer had failed to issue a warning prior to firing the shot.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel A message from "WE"...
WellActually
"Let's see...
Insurrectionists had violently invaded the Capitol building after assaulting multiple police officers. Some of them were roaming the corridors demanding that people like Mike Pence be hanged. Outside other insurrectionists had set up a makeshift gallows.
Yet the MAGA cult members are claiming that it wasn't a valid use of a firearm because they're claiming no-one was under threat...
Hmmm..."

Charlie, my friend, I can not help but believe that God sees this shooting as an unnecessary death. Unnecessary death is murder and I do believe that is in the top ten of God’s commandments.

Traitors deserve 2 things. A wall to stand against and a bullet to the head. She got what she deserved.

Gene, what your god thinks of the shooting isn't relevant, this is a secular nation, with secular laws.

She was shot breaking into the United States Congress. An act of Treason, period

PO1 H Gene Lawrence - Come on now Gene, I would have shot her too. She was trying to climb through a window to the other side of a barricaded door where members of Congress were.

SFC William Farrell - she was not armed and according to everything I’ve read, she did not have a warning and did she most likely did not see him as he was in plain clothes firing from behind a wall. She did not pose a physical threat to anyone. Besides that there were other officers that could have helped restrain her if necessary. I’m sorry, but all of my training as a Police Officer says it was a bad shoot.

Gene, no one deserves to die, but she had to be stopped, and that resulted in her death. She was carrying a backpack. Try approaching a checkpoint in Iraq or Afghanistan with a full backpack, refuse to stop and honor the barricade, and see what happens. You get shot.
You need to look at this other than standard police training. Tell me what would have happened if she was crawling through a window at the White House--and it is clear that she would have been shot there.

PO1 H Gene Lawrence - apparently you missed a lot in training. She was coming in a broken window to interfere with the Legislature being able to complete its Constitutionally mandated duty. Could he see in her pockets?
