Babbitt Attorney Is Going After The Capitol Police Accusing Them Of ‘Double Standard’

An attorney that represents the family of the fatally shot American Patriot Ashli Babbitt detailed their plans to sue Capitol Police on behalf of the Babbitt family, arguing against the “double standard” of the case.

Babbit, 35, was a veteran of the armed forces and an avid Trump supporter. She was unarmed when she was fatally shot by Capitol Police on Jan. 6 during the protests at the Capitol. She died from a gunshot wound to her left shoulder according to the local Medical Examiner’s office.

The Department of Justice announced earlier this month that the officer who fatally shot Babbitt will not be charged for alleged use of excessive force that resulted in the death of a true American, most likely due to the politics surrounding the case.

The officer’s name has never been made public.

Babbitt has not received the justice that she and her family deserve because of the politics of the case and her open support for former President Donald Trump. The attorney will be pursuing a civil action on behalf of the family alleging a violation of Babbitt’s constitutional rights, he said.

“I’m handling the civil action that will be filed, that’s my role,” Roberts said. “The family and I were disappointed in the Department of Justice’s decision on this, but my role is, really, to bring a civil action and in that way, vindicate her rights.”

“We think the evidence is ample and supports criminal charges against the officer,” Roberts argued, claiming the officer could see Babbitt was not armed and offered her no warning.

“This is a situation in which the officer could have easily arrested her, if he had grounds to arrest her, without using deadly force,” he said. “So, this was an egregious act of excessive force and he should have been charged.”

Roberts told Newsmax “that there is a double standard at work.”

“If you were to change the circumstances, change the location a little bit, it’s a certainty that there would be charges,” he argued. “Obviously, the political climate is such that charges are not favored here. It really bothers us that there is a double standard at work.”

If the circumstances were just changed by race then there would be protests & riots in the streets in front of the Capitol till this day in Babbitt’s name.
