The Ashli Babbitt Killing: Where's the Outrage?
By John Dietrich

There is an obvious double standard in deciding if a police officer should be charged with violating a use-of-force policy

On January 6th an unarmed 5' 2", 110 pound Caucasian female was shot by police with minimal media coverage and even less outrage.  A Google search reports approximately 1,060,000 results for Ashli Babbitt and 293,000,000 for George Floyd. 

Ashli Babbitt was a decorated Air force veteran and a Trump supporter. 

George Floyd, despite what the media is attempting to portray him as, was a criminal.  George Floyd's family received a $27 million settlement.  Barbra Streisand donated an unknown number of shares of Disney stock to his daughter.  Kanye West donated $2M for an education plan for her.  She also received a full scholarship from Texas Southern University in honor of her father's "powerful legacy."  The outrage was international, and several U. S. cities burned resulting in $2 billion in damage and 12 people murdered.   

Both individuals were involved in a criminal act.  Floyd was resisting arrest and his fate would have been different if he had cooperated.  Babbitt was not given an opportunity to submit or resist arrest.

MajorClay:
Agreed

skeeter:
Agreed except for one thing. George Floyd’s fate would’ve been the same whether he cooperated or not - he died of a damn drug overdose.

Sled Dog:
What would have happened if Babbitt was (b)lack and the cop that shot her was white?

Rodent heads exploding to figure it out.
