1. Ashli Babbit was 35 years old.
2. Since she was in no sense "elderly", how accurate is the claim that the police officer who shot her is black? And why does the officer's skin color matter anyway?!
Okay, tinfoil hat time.....
Ashli Babbit was shot because none of the protesters had killed or seriously injured anyone.
NOTE: People engaged as members of a group in actions which may be deemed "criminal" in an event where someone gets killed can be charged with murder.
Happens all the time, where the guy driving the getaway car is charged with murder, too, when the robber(s) kill the store clerk.
IMHO, she may have been killed to amp up the charges to discourage such acts in the future.
Otherwise, there wasn't really that much to charge people with compared to the riots around the country last year (and ongoing, even if the MSM has looked the other way).
