...a repeat felon who was convicted of armed robbery among many other crimes during the span of his wasteful life, died while under the influence of fentanyl, meth, and THC. All facts.

There should be a national holiday to honor the man. But, absent that, thank God MSNBC ran multiple articles about him today.

Discuss, you Off Topic Board cretins.

Last time I checked, nothing in his rap sheet merited his summary execution on the asphalt by a bad cop. Never fear, Trump will pardon him. Medal of Freedom?

I can't speak for MAGAts, but disagreeing with liberals martyring and awarding millions of dollars to criminals certainly does not make someone hate America and civil liberties.

Why did you have to bring Ashli Babbit into this conversation?

I would have voted Democrat had your party offered up a reasonable candidate. Your loss. I despise Trump. I also despise calculating repetitive morons like yourself. Why do you leave the "VOTE BLUE" off your posts on the main board, you calculating little POS?

….an Ashley Babbitt jury would have awarded her heirs $0.00 and court costs to the county; a Floyd jury probably would have awarded more than the settlement amount.


*When people come at cops with deadly weapons, or are beating them or pepper spraying them and putting them in reasonable fear of suffering serious physical harm (or being stripped of their service weapons), I do not believe in counties making million and multi million dollar payouts when the cops use deadly force. I would let a jury decide whether they want to drain the county's social services budget by awarding millions.

On the front page, MSNBC tells us that Floyd's loved ones remember him as "a gentle giant." I wonder if the victim of his armed robbery thinks of him that way.

The one good thing about the Trump presidency is the rollback of all the woke BS that had accumulated like dog feces over the past 10 years or so. I mean, they were even beginning to talk of reparations to blacks. Now THAT'S funny.

Oh, and the raising of the SALT deduction cap, which will put about $10k per year directly into my independent pocket. Thanks, Democrats in CA, NY, CT, and NJ! Luv ya.

Because that board is not for politics per the board's policies. Despise all you want, I don't lose sleep.

I don't idolize Floyd or Babbit, and I certainly haven't started any threads supporting either one. How many cities were burned because Babbit was shot?

IMO she was shot because she didn't know how to listen to an officer holding a drawn gun telling her to stay out. I'm sorry she's dead but for crying out loud, a cop has a gun drawn…maybe you do as directed. She brought it on herself.

Babbitt was a good shoot under rules governing police use of deadly force. Why would anyone burn a city?

Floyd was an unlawful killing under Minneapolis Police Department rules governing use of force, de-escalation, the duty to render aid and continuing to kneel on Floyd's neck after he stopped resisting and was in distress.

You got your facts mixed up a bit. She was unarmed climbing through a broken window, literally in the window frame while shot. At the point she was shot she posed no threat. If you're where she is, do you think you can hear the murdering cop yell anything? I didn't hear anything through this audio.

She was part of a mob that was using things to bash in windows and trying to break through barricaded doors. That means she absolutely was a threat to the police officer who is just on the other side of the door to Babbit's left. 100%.

Starting at the 33 second mark the mob yells out loudly - three times - "HE"S GOT A GUN." The guy on the left side of the screen in orange moves toward Babbit with his right hand extended in the universal "stop" signal. Wtineses stated that a "number of police and Secret Service were saying 'Get back! Get down! Get out of the way!' 12 seconds after the gun warnings she goes through the window and is shot (46 second mark).

Further, this video is either edited or otherwise doesn't show everything. Other video exists which shows the cop generally in front of Orange Stop guy with his gun drawn. My guess is he was maybe 15 feet from Babbit when we was backed up against the wall; he was probably no more htan 10 feet from her with his gun drawn as she approached the window. There is simply no way she didn't see him.

Even with the 3 gun warnings, almost certainly seeing a police officer with a drawn gun and other police warnings to get back / get down she chose to go through the window. That was her choice. This shooting was entirely her own doing and completely preventable by her.

We know now that Babbitt was unarmed. At the time, the officer didn't know that. To him, she may have had a gun or knife in her pocket. Certainly she was surrounded by an angry mob with weapons. The officer acted to defend himself and the others in the area.
