Loose Ends (123)

Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for posting - I will ignore the fact that a rodent is not a meteorologist :-) Our friend SSgt (Join to see) is a meteorologist

"Usually after a law enforcement involved fatal shooting, we know the name of the officer within a day or two. But the officer who fired the fatal shot at Ashli Babbitt on January 6 has still not been publicly identified, even though news is out that the officer will likely not face any charges in the matter. Seems rather fast to have reached this conclusion before a full investigation of the confusing scene of January 6 is complete.
This little detail jumps out: “The officer, who has not been named, had been placed on leave after the Jan. 6 riot while an investigation took place.” I don’t think we’ve even been told exactly which branch of law enforcement this officer serves. I noticed when watching the video that the officer appears to be wearing cuff links, which is likely not usual apparel even for plain clothes Capitol Police. There have been some rumors that the officer is a member of the personal protection detail for congressional leadership. Finally, usually intrepid reporters figure out the identity of people involved in something like this. Where are the investigative reporters, the leakers, and the demand that “the public has a right to know”?"

Ashli Babbitt, Woman Who Died in Coup, Served in US Air Force
Four people died during the violent assault on the United States Capitol. Three had medical emergencies outside, and one woman, 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt, was shot by police while appearing to climb through an indoor window in the Capitol. Babbitt was an Air Force veteran who tweeted “nothing will stop us” the day before she joined other Trump supporters in storming the Capitol. Babbitt lived in San Diego and boarded a flight to D.C., heeding Trump’s call to converge on the nation’s capital.
