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.

Agreed

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.

What would have happened if Babbitt was (b)lack and the cop that shot her was white?
Rodent heads exploding to figure it out.
