Who killed Ashli Babbitt?

I still want to know what the protocol is for the use of deadly force by the Capitol Police.
Don’t other police departments in this country have such protocols?
Chicago cop shoots onto a crowd, killing an unarmed protester. Just imagine if this had happened during the BLM/Floyd
riotsprotests last year. -
Imagine instead a violent mob physically breaking windows and doors in the white house trying to gain entry. How many of the filthy, oxygen-wasting vermin would eat lead? Surely more than just one.
We need to work on the timidity of the capitol police.
There are times in history when a blood bath is warranted.

Again, what if it had been the White House last summer? 500 BLM vermin instead of 500 magat vermin.
How many would have been carried away in bags?
We can’t know the exact number, obviously, but we all know it would have been many more than one.
What’s the difference?
PS. A constitutionalist will tell you that Congress is not a co-equal branch of government with the executive. It’s actually the primary branch.

Feel free to say “I think if a violent mob of hundreds had tried to breach non-public areas of the White House last summer the secret service wouldn’t have killed anybody” if that’s what you truly believe.

There is no need to speculate
The British burned the place down
Dolly Madison grabbed a portrait of Washington and abandoned the place
Nobody died

I haven't avoided it at all.
The rules for an officer to discharge his weapon is if he is in imminent danger, if innocent life is at stake or if (in some jurisdictions) a fugitive is in flight. I think you know that.
The question in Babbitt 's case is how much danger did she pose? Did she pose a danger to the officer or to the people he was protecting? Did she have a weapon! Why didn't any other officer discharge his weapon that day? Why did he shoot, when other officers were standing right next to her and could have been hit by a pass-through?
Is there a difference between a Trump mob and an Antifa mob? Apparently, one is to be exterminated and one is to be celebrated. That seems to be the sentiment among some.
Would I have shot Ashli Babbitt?
No. Not on that side of the window and not with other officers standing next to her. Would I have shot her on the other side of the window?
Probably.
But in no way should a police shooting be an anonymous event.
