Woman killed during Capitol riot actually urged others to stand down

It’s already known that internal police documents about the shooting death of Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt by a U.S. Capitol police officer during the ruckus on Jan. 6, 2021, show there was no reason for her to die.

Now an analysis by the Epoch Times reveals it was Babbitt who “desperately tried to prevent rioters from vandalizing the doors leading to the Speaker’s Lobby at the Capitol that day, even stepping between one troublemaker and officers guarding the doors.”

Democrats, and their allies in the legacy media, have portrayed her over and over as a rioter who was an the Capitol as part of an “insurrection,” which likely is more a political claim that anything else.

The Epoch Times said its “frame-by-frame video evidence” confirmed that the veteran was shot and killed by a police officer who, according to witnesses, did not issue a verbal warning, as she tried to get through a broken window.

“Video clips appear to show she tried to prevent the attack, not join it,” the Times reported.

The video comes from John Sullivan, also known as Jayden X, and reveals Babbitt “tried to stop the violence against the Speaker’s Lobby at least four times before she climbed into a broken window and was fatally shot by U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd. At one point, she was so distressed at the violence, she jumped up and down in frustration.” – READ MORE
