Original Note:
Misleading: Babbitt was not murdered or "assassinated" (a sudden or surprise murder of [usually] a prominent person for political reasons). She was shot by USCP after climbing through a window rioters had broken to bypass a barricade, with members of Congress inside. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/assassinate https://www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/JW-v-DC-Babbitt-July-2021-records-001710-pgs-667-668.pdf https://www.fox5dc.com/news/report-capitol-police-officer-who-fatally-shot-ashli-babbitt-formally-exonerated https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2021/01/08/ashli-babbitt-shooting-video-capitol/
