Great question. For all the hype/propaganda over how rowdy and dangerous Trump supporters are—where are they on this? I don’t know of a single Trump supporter that isn’t incensed over this. Why aren’t they in the streets or attacking more federal buildings? I mean the ones Antifa aren’t attacking.
It is clear from video footage that Ashli did not pose a danger to the officer, or any other person, when she was shot.
Ashli was unarmed.
She did not assault anyone.
She did not threaten to harm anyone. There was no excuse for taking her life.
At the time of the shooting, there were over a half-dozen police officers in close proximity to the door where Ashli was standing. Some of those officers had just allowed protesters access to the door by stepping aside.
Other officers, dressed in full tactical gear, stood among the protesters just a few feet behind the door. Still others stood casually at the opposite end of the hallway, apparently unconcerned with the activities of Ashli and the protesters around her.
All of these officers were in a position to have aided in the apprehension of Ashli, who was 5'2" and weighed just 110 pounds, if it was necessary.
The officer who shot her never made any attempt to actually arrest her, nor did he call on his fellow officers to arrest her. Instead, he simply fired.
Why aren't we allowed to know the rationale that the authorities used when they decided to excuse the killer and keep his name a secret?
