The family of Ashli Babbitt the pro-Trump protestor who was shot and killed during the riot at the US Capitol on January 6th by an unnamed officer is now reportedly planning on suing the Capitol Police for 10 million dollars in damages.

As Fox News reports:

Ashli Babbitt, a California woman who participated in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan.6, was “ambushed” by the Capitol Police officer who fatally shot her as she tried to enter the Speaker’s Lobby outside the House Chamber, a lawyer for the family said this week, according to reports.

The family plans to file a $10 million wrongful death lawsuit against the Capitol Police and the officer, the Washington Examiner reported.

Terry Roberts, a lawyer hired by Babbitt’s family who specializes in police misconduct cases, told Real Clear Investigations this week that he believes the officer didn’t give Babbitt verbal warnings before he fired.

“It’s not debatable. There was no warning,” Roberts alleged. “I would call what he did an ambush. I don’t think he’s a good officer. I think he’s reckless.”

The officer in question has previously been cleared of any wrongdoing by the Justice Department.

      1. Indeed it should! Mark Meadows said that President Trump offered the National Guard to Pelosi & Schumer and the Capital Police Chief to help protect the capital, but all three turned it down citing “optics”! That sounds very reckless to me! They were more concerned about how they would LOOK!

          1. I think they reverse is what it is. The democridiots did what they could to cause this.

          2. When you can’t win a discussion, YOU resort to NAME CALLING. Typical democrat.

        1. No, they planned the infiltration to ruining the peaceful, successful patriot protest, so they can impeach president Trump & SHUT UP patriot AMERICAN, that why they complete ignore the offer for help, Babbitt should include Pelosi, Schumer, CIA, FBI in the lawsuit too, 10 million, that not enough

      2. I agree. Pelosi planned and denied any protection. She also let criminals in side door if you watched video

      1. Are you a vet Jim? What branch and where did you serve!? The coward cop who assisted her hid then came forward and assinated her with no warning! That’s not legal in any state or police department! Guess you didn’t know this little tidbit!

      1. I’M A DISABLED VETERAN, WHY DO YOU ASK THAT? YOU SOUND LIKE ONE OF THE TRAITOROUS, LYING, DECEITFUL, COMMUNIST UNDER bid en REGIME! SHE WAS A PEACEFUL PROTESTER, AND A VETERAN, AND YOU ARE WAY OUT OF LINE HERE!!! CRAWL BACK UNDER THE EXCREMENT YOU CAME FROM!!! jim

        1. Michael, you are absolutely correct. All the democridiots should move out from the USA. How a veteran can support the democridiot party is awful and unpatriotic.

      2. What justice? even she stomp the Capital, she not harm any body, Capital belong to AMERICAN people not those corrupted crooked congress, we can walk in there to talk to those people, they are work for American, we paid them to do their jobs, when we have any question on how they doing their jobs we have every right to walk in there to ask them, that protest so big & it so peaceful till BLM, ANTIFA turned up with the help of Capital police, Capital security plus the corporate of Pelosi, Schumer, CIA,FBI turn the PROTEST to RIOT, even that the RIOT was so small compared to the BIG BIG crown of peaceful protesters, instead they should investigate whose & how the infiltration happened

      3. So she should have been murdered for walking in “THE PEOPLE’S HOUSE”? She was unarmed and non violent, what gave the capital police an excuse to murder her?

        1. They still have not identified who shot her. Once again before investigations are done she was cremated. Dems seem to always do that and keep everything secret. Secrets mean things are wrong and they are criminals.

          1. They do know it was a black capital cop, name of boyd, or byrd!! Believe it or not, he was already cleared of any wrongdoing!! He’s thinking he clear, but wait, HE WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH MURDER!!

      4. No way. It was time for more than what happened after they paid ANTIFA and BLM to burn cities and kill children. To bad they didn’t take over the capital and give congress what they had done to citizens for a year and they are still destroying our country! That is probably a little strong but I am sick of dems doing everything they can to take America down. They are still committing treason just in smaller numbers than last year. Don’t think for a minute that if you were out with Trump hat on that they would not beat you to a pump at dems orders and their donors.

      5. Wow! Would you be saying the same thing if she was a black woman shot while burning down a city in the summer of 2020?

      6. BS. SHE WAS MURDERED! NO HALT, NO STOP, NO WARNING SHOT NO YOU R UNDER ARREST JUST LET ME BLAST YOU IN THE HEAD!! F THAT.

      7. So ALL those involved in the violent riots throughout the country supporting BLM deserve the same fate. They should then all get the death penalty no matter how they were involved.

  1. The bastards should be sued. The lady was unarmed and wasn’t attacking anyone. If she were black we would have never heard the end of it

          1. We’ll buy that, since you mean little boys under the age of 12. As an old Nam vet, I have no idea what QANON is, nor do I care. All I know is that trash like you should and will be liquidated, and I’ll read all about it right here online.

          2. those of us that served are considered as fools and chumps. The punk millennials have no real education due to the communist infiltration of our education system and the media.. but they know everything, just ask them …

          3. I agree. College kids being led around by communists and too dumb it seems to see common sense. Dems have been racists and anti American since Abraham Lincolns death. We have had KKK members as dems and even as president for years. London Johnson helped kill JFK to stop him from helping Martin Luther king So Biden and Pelosi are not first but his connections better. Trump did what he promised he outed the corrupt and they want to stay in the dark. They do so many awful things and the few still alive are not liked and are victims of criminals paid for by dems and their donors. Just look at all suicides of people ready to testify against Clinton. And justice Scalia cremated hours after he died with pillow over his head. We do have some fighting Republicans trying to keep our country free with Trump sure hope they succeed because we have over 70,000,000 agreeing with them and willing to do everything possible to keep us free

          4. Jim has nothing to do today his mom already made him clean his room an his one friend on Facebook is out with his mom shopping so he has nothing better to do you know how 30 year olds are now days.

        1. NO WAY. PELOSI AND HER REFUSAL FOR PROTECTION PLUS I SAW FIRST VIDEO OUT THAT SHOWED COP LETTING BLACK CLOTHED PERSONS INSIDE AT SIDE DOOR. SHE SET IT UP TO GET TRUMP BLAMED AGAIN FOR DEMS CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR

    1. Plus, like floyd, she would be an instant millionaire, and still receive welfare!! Class A people here, NOT!!

  2. THIS SMELLS SOOOOO BAD ! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW BY WHAT AUTHORITY DID THE MEDICAL EXAMINER ORDER HER TO E CREAMATED ???

      1. Your ignorance is on display again. Zero sources have said that Ashli had the wuflu and the treatment for this respiratory disease in deceased people is not cremation. Take your medications and get a real life!

  3. There are pictures of the officer in question on a conservative site “pulling the trigger”. He has been identified as an African-American supervisor by the name of Lt. Michael Byrd. There is a picture of the gun being fired with identifiable clothing showing up to the elbow through the door. Pictures of officers in the chamber are then compared and it is easy to see who pulled the trigger.

    1. Reports are that he wasn’t a great Cop. Left his service weapon in a Bathroom one time and had other problems.

          1. Sounds about right to me!!! jim is one of the commie loving IDIOT’S that need’s to be expelled from AMERICA!!! That, or put him 6′ UNDER!!! What an ABSOLUTE DISGRACE of a HUMAN!!! Actually jimmy boy isn’t human, I’d say CRO MAGNON!!

          1. How do you know, same thing happened to you with your head up mommy’s a&&?

          1. Actually I’m a college graduate. I can even read music. You probably can’t read the comics

        1. punks have good aim due to using the point blank shooting method.. anything farther away and they would just be making a lot of noise, like the burn loot and murder gang banger azzholes and those antifa trash bags – all punks, parasites, perverts, and morons ..

  4. Babbit didn’t even get medical emergency help which hospital was taken just straight to the cremation not even an autopsy

      1. Says who Jim??? Even the cops directly behind her did nothing to try and stop her. Are you Jim afraid to give your last name. Show us where a Covid person who dies has to be cremated. I can tell you that many Covid patients who died were not cremated.

    1. Probably to hide she was shot in the neck!! That was awful!! Wreckless aim!!
      Then she laid there bleeding to death not one person helped her.
      It was MURDER!!!
      DONT GIVE THAT POS JIM ANY ATTENTION!! HES EITHER A PAID BOT OR A BRAINWASHED TURD FROM MSM

      1. one thing about it the brainwashing did not take long.. only takes a few seconds to wash two brain cells ..

  5. She was a veteran!!! For God’s sake, let’s not shoot our own veterans. This makes me so angry I can barely type. I’m glad her family is suing. It won’t ease the pain they must feel from losing her, but I hope they get lots of money from the government. From what I saw on TV, she was just standing there.

      1. You are a Democrat, it’s obvious. How are you liking all that control going on at the border. You know the Covid flowing freely. Have you welcomed the illegals into your home and community? Sleepy Joe is doing a great job there. Assigned a great leader to over see the border crisis but seems she only understands how to sleep (sic) her way there . Oh wait she went there four months after her useless trips to other countries and telling them not to come. Something tells me that’s not working. Lol
        The vet who was assinated by a supposedly law officer, someone needs to pay for his assignation of her.

  6. The lies spouted by the creeps in charge should be punished. Piglosi and the cops who lied rather than tell the truth like those who committed “suicide” should be in jail.

      1. I believe you are the “KOOK”! You are one sick piece of work. What if Babbitt had been black and the officer white. The publicity would be much different.

          1. With what? She was crawling and had no weapon! How was she a threat KOOK Jim

  7. This trial (and it MAY go to trial) must be accurate and swift! There must be plenty of time between a positive verdict for the Babbitt family and the 2022 elections. Such a verdict will place a lock on a considerable Republican advantage in the House, and maybe also the Senate.

          1. I don’t hate you just have a lot of pity for you. But I’ll loose sleep worrying about you hating me. Lol

  8. My God, I am STILL WAITING FOR APPROVAL??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?? FREEDOM OF SPEECH, RING A BELL FOR YOU, OR ARE YOU BOWING DOWN TO MSM? SICKENING, ABSOLUTELY SICKENING!!

  9. That officer is a paid off coward and the doj is complecen t after the fact. I hope we can put all of these pieces of s..t (poop) lawyers of the doj, in jail at a minimum They have subverted the constitution, they haave all been paid off and are hence traitors to the US and all of them and the others including bit not limited to, the alphebet soup of govt agencies, the politicians, the media, big tech, school administrators (the ones that are complacent), and all other actors (no kidding that even though actors does include entertainment personal, sports figures, musicians and the lot of the directors, etc aall that have a big stage that they have abused tio the extent of hurting our kids along with the idiot teachers that bought this s..t), oh and let’s not for get these idiot parents taht are so stupid anbd afraid that they will sell thier freedoms down for perceived safety which they did NOT get. just sayin

  10. Makes people wonder why 4 DC cops have committed suicide. Did they know too much or did they see too much? Let’s see what else happens if this gets serious and people get deposed.

  11. A lot of those reptile Demorats should be in jail but especially Micheal L Byrd should be charged with premeditated murder for killing a defenseless American veteran woman. He’s pure evil!!!

  12. No police procedures manual directs a shoot first act like this. Who judges this should not be investigated? Of course it should have been investigated. Circumstances makes me think someone higher up instructed this cop to shoot and he should have known to say “NO, I’ll be held accountable.” This is just another Democrat travesty of Justice.

  13. If the DOJ cleared this trigger happy cop, then he is surely at fault, because the DOJ is now CORRUPT entity not to be believed

  14. So this cop gets a walk and the one who was involved in James Floyd gets destroyed. At worst, the Floyd death was an accident. Probably it was from FENTENAL OD.
    Ashli was murdered by a RACIST black Capital police officer. That is right. She was murdered.

  15. Every vet in America should be demanding access to 9/6 Demonstrators being held in solitary in Federal custody for more than six months. Even the murderers at Guantanamo were allowed access to lawyers and the press. Members of congress were locked out of a personal visit with these prisoners. This isn’t communist China yet and Americans should not be detained like Uighers.

  16. I hope the Babbitt family are successful in their lawsuit. Still, I would love to see that officer who shot her be put on trial for unjustified homicide.

  17. The whole demonstration “riot” was a progressive black flag Reichstag burning. How many Antifa and BLM apparatchiks were mixed into the crowd? By democratic standards, it was NOT a “peaceful demonstration” because there was no looting, burning, and assaults involved.
