And a cop shot at random in a crowd, killing an unarmed woman.
This isn't true and I don't know why people keep saying it is. It's a lot like leftists saying Kyle Rittenhouse shot three black people in cold blood.
When Ashlii Babbitt was shot, she was climbing through a broken window to gain access to an area the officer was guarding. There was a shouting, excited crowd behind her, who surely would have followed her in.
Whether the cop was right or wrong to shoot her, he didn't fire randomly into a crowd. He targeted the person breaching a locked (and I think, from memory, barricaded) corridor.
Why misrepresent when there is video of the whole thing? The trigger-happy diversity hire could have shot the armed police officers in full gear behind (typo : ) Ashli Babbit ( and who could have interviened at any time to stop the unarmed woman ).
There was a shouting, excited crowd behind her, who surely would have followed her in.
Like the police officers in full gear carring big guns behind her? Yeah they could have follower her in. Or stop her if they wanted to. Without killing the unarmed woman.
Might I add, those police officers in full gear with big guns right in the middle of the crowd felt safe-enough not shooting anyone. But they sure got agitated and one raised his gun when someone pew-pewed a woman into the afterlife.
Extra : The people who got shot by Kyle RIttenhouse in self-defense were doing things like bashing him in the head with a skateboard or pointing a gun at him first. Ashli Babbit did nothing comparable to get shot. Please don't invoke Kyle Rittenhouse to defend a murderer.
Like the police officers in full gear caring big guns behind her?
Those police actually showed up in response to the gunfire because they were actively searching the crowd for an alleged "active shooter". They weren't actually there when they entered, they were down the stairs.
/u/FreeSpeechSquid is correct, the officer didn't fire randomly into the crowd. He intentionally shot Ashley Babbit in the the chest.
They weren't, we have the badge cams. They originally assumed that it was a the active shooter they were looking for, not a cop, until they were able to get to the scene.
It's obvious she was gaining entry to the barricaded corridor and it's obvious the officer was targeting her specifically with a single shot, not shooting randomly into a crowd as you said.
The crowd was shouting and smashing the windows. Ashlii was climbing through. It's reasonable to think the officer was frightened of what would happen when they gained entry.

Sure, but that doesn't mean he wasn't justifiably frightened, and it doesn't change that it is you who mischaracterized the event.

What is comparable is that you are making things up in order to vilify the shooter further than the facts support. That is exactly what the entire left spent months doing to Rittenhouse. It's what they do all the time. While I advocate for using every single one of the left's tactics against them, we will only betray ourselves if we stop caring about facts.
I will agree the circumstances of the shootings are quite different. The three who were shot by Rittenhouse were brazenly attempting to murder him, and two were armed - whereas Ashlii was unarmed and entering a barricaded room. Unlike them, she did not deserve to be killed.

Liar. They were standing right behind her when she was shot.
They weren't, we have the badge cams. They originally assumed that it was a the active shooter they were looking for, not a cop, until they were able to get to the scene.
I'm not misrepresenting anything. You can see her falling back from the window in your video, and you can see her climbing through it in this one: https://nypost.com/2021/01/07/videos-show-shooting-of-ashli-babbitt-during-capitol-siege/
