Did we do this one yet?


"It’s a false narrative that he issued no verbal commands or warnings,” the officer's lawyer, Mark Schamel, told Real Clear Investigations. "He was screaming, ‘Stay back! Stay back! Don’t come in here!’”

He added that his client's commands could not be seen on video as he was donning a face mask at the time.

So we can hear what everyone is saying on the multiple videos that day, but for some magic reason we can't hear that shooter screaming at the top of his lungs for the Ashli lady to stand back?

“At this point, what difference does it make?”

They’re never going to charge him. He’ll get an award from Biden soon.

I feel like that is something we would hear in the video of him shooting her...

I don't believe he was afraid for even a second. He acted simply to secure his future with the new regime. Nothing more than a calculated act of murder. I wouldn't be surprised if he was instructed ahead of time to do it.

BS. How does one give commands, aim a gun and put on a mask at the same time?

I can only hope that he as the opportunity to prove it in court.  I don’t know that the District of Columbia has a shot on sight for trespassing.

A verbal warning doesn't make a bad shot a good one.

A lack of a verbal warning doesn't make a good shot a bad one.

The act stands on its own.

Yeah, it's called "Show up to DC supporting Trump and we'll shoot you."

I still wonder if behind that door was VPOTUS, the Speaker etc...
Then again if VPOTUS was nearby, it would have been the USSS around him, not Capitol cops.

Maybe Queen Nancy was sequestered somewhere behind that door and she straight up gave the order "anybody comes through there and you shoot them".

If I am wrong why did he only fire one shot?  Lots of people on the other side of that door. If I was in fear for my life from an angry mob I would have run my gun to slide lock. Yet he steps up takes one shot and basically disappeared we can't even get his name.

People inside the room were scared and they saw this as the last line of defense from the mob. Nobody is going prosecute him for shooting somebody who smashed through a barricade to come through, armed or not.

He was scared shitless.  You can see it in the way his pistol is shaking in that one video.  Dude was terrified.  Doesn't make it justified.

Police don’t have a duty to retreat. You know that. And orders don’t take precedence over the law or even written policy. You know that too.

It’s a good thing then that we have oodles of case law that confirm the standard for a use of force is objective rather than subjective reasonableness.

And that orders can’t replace laws.

Case law may well consider it as such beyond that point.  An example, a mob floods in to loot stop and shop.  Staff flees into a back office not open to the public.  Mob tries to breach the door and the manager fires to protect his employees from the perceived threat.  It is very likely in most castle doctrine states that he could claim this and it would hold up.

Unless the back office also has a back door, that’s not even close to a castle doctrine case.

The window she was entering went into a hallway. It wasn't an office and there weren't any VIP's nearby.  There were multiple other parties in the hallway watching and none of them appeared to be alarmed or fearful about the situation.  The shooter approached quickly from the side and may not have even been visible to Ashli before the shot.  This is all on video and having watched it several times I do not hear any commands from the shooter (doesn't mean he didn't give any).  

I'm still perplexed by the series or events.  There are cops in tac gear directly behind Ashli when she is shot who just stand there unconcerned about the whole thing.  It's hard to see but no one appears to make any contact with the shooter after that point (at least on camera) or try to figure out what's going on.  They don't appear to give two fucks about the unarmed woman bleeding out at their feet

Castle doctrine removes the duty to retreat. It does not grant ANY additional authority to use force. Also, law enforcement doesn’t have a duty to retreat. These are all distractions.
