The Murder Of Ashli Babbitt Precedent
In an act truly unprecedented in American law and history, after a secret process in which no public testimony was taken and no media were allowed in to report on the proceedings, the
U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice announced the government will not pursue criminal charges against the U.S. Capitol Police officer involved in the fatal shooting of 35-year-old Air Force veteran and Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt.
We say unprecedented because over the long course of American history – from the pre-Revolution Boston Massacre in 1770 to the Kent State shootings in 1970 – the armed authorities deployed in this country have always had their actions publicly reviewed and been held accountable for shooting into unarmed crowds
But today, we know more about the participants and defendants in the Boston Massacre than we know about who killed Ashli Babbitt and what their justification was for shooting into an unarmed crowd.
