Ashli Babbitt's family's legal team releases statement

Dated: March 7, 2021 by Sharyl Attkisson 211 Comments

      

Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed while trying to climb through an interior door at the U.S. Capitol with a group protesting alleged election fraud

Attorneys representing Ashli Babbitt's family recently released a statement.

Babbitt was unarmed when she was shot and killed by a law enforcement officer at the Capitol on the day of the riots.

For some reason, the name of the officer who shot her has not been released.

Babbitt attorney's statement appears below:

The shooting of Ashli Babbitt on January 6, 2021 by an unidentified U.S. Capitol Police Officer was an unjustified use of deadly force which violated her constitutional rights. It is clear from video footage that Ashli did not pose a danger to the officer, or any other person, when she was shot. Ashli was unarmed. She did not assault anyone. She did not threaten to harm anyone. There was no excuse for taking her life.

It is a universal law enforcement standard that a police officer should use no more force than necessary to accomplish a lawful purpose.  At 5โ€ฒ 2โ€ณ tall and 110 pounds, an arrest of Ashli could have been accomplished by a single trained officer with a set of handcuffs. At the time of the shooting, there were over a half-dozen police officers in close proximity to the Speakerโ€™s door where Ashli was standing. Some of those officers had just allowed protesters access to the door by stepping aside. Other officers, dressed in full tactical gear, stood among the protesters just a few feet behind the door. Still others stood casually at the opposite end of the Speakerโ€™s Lobby, unconcerned with the activities of Ashli and the protesters around her. All of these officers were in a position to have aided in the apprehension of Ashli if it was necessary. Given her background as a 14-year veteran of the Air Force, it is likely that Ashli would have complied with simple verbal commands, thereby making the use of any force unnecessary.

However, the officer who shot Ashli never attempted to arrest her. Nor did he call on his fellow officers to arrest her. Instead, he fired a shot into her chest. Witnesses confirm that the officer did not give Ashli a single verbal warning prior to firing. In fact, Ashli was not even aware that the officer was present, as he was located in the doorway of a room off to the side of her field of vision.

To date, the officer who shot Ashli has not been identified. Neither the Capitol Police nor any other governmental authority has given an account of the facts surrounding the shooting. There has been no official explanation or justification for the use of lethal force in this matter. This lack of transparency impedes the public scrutiny which is necessary to hold government officials accountable in a free society. It also interferes with the ability of Ashliโ€™s family to obtain justice for their loss.

My law firm and I represent Ashliโ€™s husband and family members. We will continue to investigate this matter.  We intend to take appropriate legal action when our investigation has been completed.  We call upon the Capitol Police as well as the United States Congress to make public the facts and circumstances of Ashliโ€™s shooting.

If you have information regarding this matter, you may contact us and receive updates on Twitter at Justice for Ashli Babbitt @ForAshli.  Emails can also be to the address alone.

        I have always questioned if that was a "plain clothes officer" as his arm showed a suit coat not a uniform. Or was it in fact one of the Congressmen, whom many have stated there were a couple of them that drew their personal arms. Where's the transparency?

        How is this in any way justifiable?

        Instead theyโ€™re either hammering R v W or fundraising.

        They clamored to reinstate FISA, the Patriot Act against the will of those who enabled their worthless, milquetoast, homogenous flat asses elected?

        Between the corrupt establishment Uniparty and the clueless religious zealots, where are the members who are supposed to represent โ€œWe The Peopleโ€?

        If they're hiding the officers name from public then someone gave him authorization to shoot if anyone crosses the line. They do the same if you cross the barricade in the white house if the President is present. The Feds are not playing when corporate owned officials are around. Biden kisses little girls in front of his colleagues. Thats the type of power they have. If they can f your little girl in front of you. They can pretty much do anything they want. That's something to take a drink and think about and let that seep in for min.

          Bush was complicit . Do your homework and maybe your beliefs will change. As a former Bush supporter it was hard for me to fathom. Look up the research of historian-investigative journalist Ryan Dawson and the work of Christopher Bollyn for starters. The idea of taking down the Twin Towers was discussed by Israeli Ultra-Zionists twenty years prior to 9/11. Ryan Dawson produced a 5 hour documentary with tons of video and documental evidence of what the truth is.

He further asked on behalf of the family that his death not be politicized. So much for his request! They just now released the info from the doctor? Jan 6 was a setup by Dems. No doubt in my mind!

      And the cover-up continues. MSM still reporting that 5people were โ€œkilledโ€ in the protest. Only Ashli was killed (by a cop). Three died of natural causes (not killed) and the government is hiding the cause of death of the police officer ( not beaten to death with a fire extinguisher as previously reported by MSM). Is there no truth in government anymore?

    Why wait to take legal action? What could possibly there still be to investigate, there video is there, and you'll need discovery anyway? Why not take legal action now? Waiting and waiting definitely lends a lot of credence to those who say that there was something very fishy about the entire situation - and now there can be persuasive arguments added that this is evidence they wish to delay bringing any official proceedings until people forget and they can eventually fade away with never actually have to go through with any. Although I was initially skeptical of that hypothesis, and still am, it is now surviving its first round of testing.

    Ashli was the wrong color. Had she been of color the police officer who cowardly shot her would have sparked nationwide riots & looting. Memorials to her would have been painted in the streets, etc. Since she was the wrong color the cowardly so-called police officer who shot her is still on duty, I expect. He may have been the right color as well.

      And if she was black, most of y'all here would have called the shot justified. Let's be real. Or if you were in your house with a gun and someone violently smashes a window and climbs in, you would fire and it would be completely justified self-defense. Many more could have been justifiably shot that day. With over 50 cops injured, i think law enforcement had crazy self-restraint.

    I'm so glad this is being investigated. I don't think her death was justified, and the fact that the identity of the officer is still being kept secret (they will obviously LIE and say it's "for his own protection") says a lot about how confident they are about his innocence, in her (murder) death.
    As an aside:
    Nancy Pelosi's nut-job ex-general recommends establishing a military style "rapid response" unit to quickly respond to events like the one on January 6th at the Capitol.
    I have a question?
    Did the FBI and Capitol police have "advanced" warnings that the protest would be massive and that violence (as with ANY crowd of THAT size) could possibly result?
    ... Yes.
    Did Trump request 10,000 National Guard be there just in case?
    ... Yes.
    My point being, what type of response is more "rapid" than having the crowd control people (National Guard, or otherwise) ... ALREADY THERE? .... like THEY SHOULD HAVE ... but CHOSE not to.
    This is typical government (Congress and Law Enforcement agencies) abuse of power and another effort to "always take advantage of a crisis" [ even an exaggerated one--like Jan. 6th ] just like they did after 9/11. There too, did they have "more than enough of the dots" (meaning all the warning signs a red flashing lights about what was being planned and who was involved) to connect. They even had their communications captured and COULD HAVE stopped them (pre 9/11) but THEY screwed it up a dozen different ways. Then what happened?
    What ALWAYS happens, they want: MORE MONEY--they got it... they get BILLONS and BILLONS more now every year to spy on everything we say and do; yet, they had all the information they needed to stop it (9/11) but they messed up. It wasn't a matter of MORE people being hired into government, more surveillance equipment, more illegal/unconstitutional spying, less privacy ... it was a matter of people DOING THER JOBS--correctly and professionally.
    End of rant. Thanks for reading, and thank you for all that you do.

      Let me also add that the DC Police Captain pleaded with them to allow NAT Guard in, I believe the DC chief made the request six times and Pelosi and Mayor Bowser declined bcuz of optics.
      Now Pelosi and Bowser are no strangers. In 2016 when Seth Rich was shot, Pelosi and Bowser got to the hospital before the ambulance carrying Seth Rich, they needed to fleece him for that uSB with HRCโ€™ and Podestaโ€™s emails on it.
      So no surprise that Pelosi and Bowser declined assistance from the Nat Guard, although Trump repeatedly offered, and DC chief of Police pleaded.
      DC Chief resigned immediately after Jan 6th

      If I'm jumping through a broken window to enter a premise I'm not supposed to be entering, Especially where there are Lawmakers. I would expect to get shot and consider myself lucky if I didn't get shot. She would not have been climbing through a broken window-, she was breaking he law but they say oh if she had known there was a cop there, she would not have?! Its terrible that she was shot, But she should not have been doing what she was doing. That she served our Country makes what she did even worse- she should have known better.

I can't even shoot an intruder entering my own home without first issuing a loud and clear warning to retreat or face being shot first. Nah, that's not how law works, Pete. If she was holding a gun then maybe, but only after clear directions to drop the weapon.

    The democrats ridiculously claim that the treatment" of the rioters would be "different" if they were BIPOC. Everything they accuse the police of during BLM demonstrations, excessive force, unnecessary use of deadly force, using force against people trespassing or violating borders, was committed against Ashli. The difference is they would have been fed and showered and given a place to stay and released without charges.

    The fact that barriers were removed and entry doors to the Capitol were opened by police to allow protesters in makes the whole thing look like certain politicians were using the incident for their own advantage, particularly when one notes the fencing around the building and the military presence have continued to this day while Commie Joe and the Congressional left wingers try to enact executive orders and legislation that violate our Constitution. Are they afraid of the American people?

    I was one of the 42k outside the Capitol who went in solidarity with my countrymen on 1/6/21 hoping the politicians would take a pause and consider the irregularities before, during and after the election. I saw the barricades moves and folks being waved inside. I thought, Iโ€™m going to get to see inside the Capitol today.... base on the actions of the policemen. The crowd was friendly, accommodating to families and elderly alike. No violence.
    Until police began shooting rubber bullets and teargas.....

    Something that has always bothered me thoughโ€”if Congress was so afraid after the so called โ€œarmed insurrectionโ€, why did they return ASAP? A woman was murdered, yet they all filed back in without so much as a pause. Yet on March 4th 2021, the House session was cancelled due to a conspiracy theory, despite thousands of armed National Guard and multiple barriers and fences. There was practically no traffic in DC that week, no sign of any type of gathering. It makes no sense.

    If you listen to the protester in orange outside the doors, at this time the gas is ready broken on most of them doors and that protester say he's got a gun, he says this not once but two times.
    When he says this he is at the very left door, the officer was just a few feet inside. There is zero doubt that this officer hears the he's got a gun.
    Does that officer understand that the protester was saying the officer had a gun?
    I don't think so, that officer very well may have thought a protester outside the doors had a gun.
    Then within seconds she starts to climb in the window of the door and was shot.

    Again, the protester that said he's got a gun was just a couple feet from the officer and the glass was broken. There is no doubt in my mind that there may have been confusion of the officer not knowing who else may have had the gun and did his job to protect those inside that chamber.

    I'm not certain that Babbitt was killed by a Capitol Police officer. If I recall correctly, the shooter was in plainclothes and did not appear to identify himself or say anything to Babbitt before shooting. It has also been pointed out that the shooter wore cufflinks, a bit out of character for an on-duty cop. The identity and position of this individual are critical, even though they may go against the Pelosi narrative.

    If this is the USA, then there will be a trial, only it won't be for a defendant named Ashli Babbitt. The cover-up by the Capitol Police implicates them in an actual capital crime.

They did this same thing on Trump's last impeachment when HE drew attention to Biden's blatant Blackmail of Ukraine's prosecutor! When he withheld one billion in U.S. funds until they fired him. He was investigating Joe Biden's son Hunter for "money laundering". So to "get even" with Trump, they "drummed-up" FAKE charges over a perfectly legitimate phone call to the new leader of Ukraine. These police and FBI and CIA and entire DOJ, including the disgraced Bill Barr COLLUDED against our sitting POTUS! They just wanted SOMEONE to KILL as an example to others and poor Ashlie drew the unlucky hand. This was cold-blooded MURDER.. plain and simple and that officer (a disgrace to his peers) must be held responsible for his COWARDLY actions.

      They rendered zero medical help at the time she was shot even with a medic on the scene within 10 seconds of her falling out of the window. All the people around her where just pointing at her and screaming she is dead. Police were at the door while they were beating on the windows right before the shooting and they just walked away and did not try to keep the crisis actors out.

    At this point, its not even certain that the shooter WAS a Capitol Police officer.
    Its been pointed out that, since a large number of officers in the Capitol Complex are "plainclothes", they affix reflective red & white tape to their pistol's slide on the side where they insert their fingers in the trigger guard. This ensures that, should the need arise to produce their weapon, the red & white tape is displayed as the weapon is unholstered and presented, letting other officers know that the weaponholder is a fellow officer, and reducing the risk they're accidentally shot. Also, in the past, the majority of Federal LE officers have carried Glock Model 22 pistols chambered in .40 S&W.
    The video/images of Ms. Babbitt's murder show that the shooter's pistol is NOT a Glock, and does NOT have the "Don't shoot me! I'm a cop!" red & white warning tape affixed.
    Why not?

Yet shot she was by a CPD officer that is now being protected by the CPD and the Democrat powers. As a former police officer, you know this was an unjustified shooting.

    I don't believe the person who shot Ashli Babbitt was a real police officer. If he was, then he planned to commit murder. He stood in the doorway for minutes with his finger on the trigger. Someone who was trained in firearms would never put his finger in the trigger box unless he was planning to shoot (pre meditated murder). Ashli was standing in the window spread eagle with her hands on the window frame when she was shot. He had a clear view of her hands. He new other people dressed as police officers where on the other side of the window and made no attempt to stop her. His actions were very reckless at best and put the lives of many others in jeperdy as well as killing Ashli Babbit. That man who shot Ashli should be tried for 1st degree murder. I am not sure that anyone dressed in officers uniforms around Ashli were actually real police officers based on film footage I have reviewed.

    The citizens of this nation were told all summer long, and more, that forceful, destructive and often violent protest is okay. What they said on and after January 6th is that it's only acceptable when directed at innocent American citizens, not the guilty and corrupt politicians. I hope every politician that condemned what happened, without doing anything at all meaningful for the ongoing victims of the riots all summer long and beyond...

    this takeon the videois insane. the whole scene was violent, the people hiding inside the room were terrified, Ashlli was trying to lead a charge past the armed guy, miscalculated there is no way that a young woman and some others, withher levelof aggression needed a weapon to do anything. I've seen the video this whole view of her is false.

    Ashli was a true warrior type, who died fighting for the wrong section of the Trump cause (Qanon) and the man who pulled the triger did absolutely the right thing.

    I can hoor them both. But she was breaking a log jame that would have had those people in there, as a security controller in the AF she probably knew how be dangerous unarmed, and in any case it is unlikely that a woman like her didn't learn that stuff on her own. And not even that kind of knowhow is needed to be a clear and present danger to older, more frail and cowering not adequately defending themselves people.

    We focus on the weapons someone might carry, ignoring you can BE a weapon yourself. If Pelosi or Schumer were killed or maimed it would have been a full scale martial law crackdown excuse and suspension of the constitution and Continuity of Government type stuff. Q probably represents an element that considered them expendable, too high profile as the evil they are, and useful dead.

    Amazinglyk, none of you people posting here or writing this has any comprehension of violence. The video itself shows a dangerous situation escalating.

    I am pro Trump but the tack of using her as a martyr is bad it is dishonest it is stupid it can backfire.

    I saw the video where Alex Jones and two others were talking and one said, "do you want to make a m...." feed cut. yeah, make a martyr of her. PR value.

    Bad move to borrow from the democrat dishonst playbook, now you are allying or hypnotized so the obvious terrifying situation isn't visible to you in the video. But its obvious to anyone with a clear head.

    This sort of outcry also se4rves evil by undercutting concepts of what should trigger a self defense reaction which is way undermined in law and popular thought as it is,making gun ownership irrelevant: most of what is common sense will land you in prison.

    She was breaking the law. She was someplace she was not legally allowed to be. She knew she was breaking the law and yet, she persisted. She was part of an angry mob that was trying to kill members of Congress and the Vice President in order to stop an election certification so that the guy who lost could stay in office. That cop was defending and holding the line between democracy and mob rule. Whomever was first through that door was going to die, and if anyone followed, they were going to die as well. The mob backed down once they realized that they would face consequences for their decisions. We should be grateful no one else was shot.
    Seriously, storm the seat of government in any other country on earth and see how they respond.

    There was some pushing and shoving going. But the cap police and the swat teams had these protestors under control. No one needed to be shot. So why did the police suddenly move out of the way? It's in the video.

    Watch this video. (https://www.nbcboston.com/news/national-international/video-shows-fatal-shooting-of-ashli-babbitt-at-u-s-capitol/2276430/).

    The man who shot Ashli Babbitt is clearly seen coming into view and firing the fatal shot. He was wearing medical face mask, of course. But he was black and was pointing his weapon at the doorway for several seconds before Ashli came in through the window. There was no reason for anyone to be shot this way. The shooter was identified. There were other security people standing right near this person.

    You can sue for "wrongful death" at a minimum.

      These are a lot of assumptions, unfortunately thats not how the US Legal System works. She is innocent until proven guilty but the issue this discussion is asking,
      Where is the Death Cert.?
      I was in DC and I didnt breach the Capitol for all the reasons you mentioned, it was dangerous. There were ppl planted in the crowd that I saw shooting rubber bullets at police. I went back to my hotel. Someone in the lobby was telling the story as he said he was behind her and saw the shot to her neck, she said she was ok and shortly after collapsed.

    B"H It seems she was guilty of one major 'crime' which many of us share (and in some areas we have been here before, as, when busing began in my hometown... after much effort between the two neighborhoods it was fixed) and that is to have white skin. It's a very big problem for many humans located on this continent, especially within the USA, to tolerate those of us who fail to display brown or black skin color. But, that can be fixed. When people of peace from both sides of the skin-color divide get together and are determined to find a solution, they can set up new rules, infrastructure, and activities, that will allow peaceful interchange (not just coexistence) without homogenzing the group and forcing people of any skin color, race, or religion, to relinquish their respective customs, beliefs, cultures, and traditions. It DOES take concerted effort and a lot of good will. This is hard to come by, nowadays, as we are all dealing with a changing climate and its consequences, and not always are the scientific standards re. how that is caused, and re. how to make it easier on all people, upheld. Despite the dangers of our changing climate and the waning of the strength of earth's magnetic field, we are obligated to try. The survival of our species is on the line, and enough lives will be claimed by events that humans cannot control, due to laws that govern the non-human components of the natural world. We can't afford to lose even one more life through violence, or, even, negligence. On the Homo sapiens team, we need ALL our players. Ashli, may her life and contribution to humanity be publicly and forever vindicated, was stellar. I often cry since then, and don't feel happy, because it looks like I will never get to meet her. A female 14-year Air Force Veteran, who risked her life for years to serve her country! Amazing. She would have done many more wonderful things had she lived longer.

    the murderer is a BLM member. but since Blacks are now above the law, no punishment will be brought.

    Whites killing armed Blacks == murder conviction
    Blacks killing unarmed Whites == awarded with Medal of Valor
