That the 'Justice' Department is so hellbent on not letting us know is telling. And disgusting.
The family has filed suit. Dunphy thinks
The Capitol Police and the Justice Department may be forced to produce whatever evidence they have in the course of a lawsuit expected to be filed by Babbitt’s family, though I expect the case to be settled prior the discovery phase with the government, i.e. the taxpayers, paying a considerable sum to the plaintiffs. Their decision to clear the officer notwithstanding, the government’s position rests on such a feeble legal foundation as to make going to trial potentially expensive and embarrassing. When the facts are placed before a jury, the shooting simply cannot withstand the reasonableness test as outlined in Graham v. Connor, and no credible use-of-force expert would dare testify otherwise absent evidence not yet revealed.
They'll probably try real hard, because I think they really don't want a bunch of these people put under oath where someone can ask them questions.
One of the things that's really pissed me off about this: leftists who will take ANY LE shooting as a reason to riot think this was just fine because 'Trump supporter'. God, I despise these people.

The Capitol Police LT will be cleared of all wrongdoing because he knows what room in the Capitol they chain the children up in.
She was committing a felony
Possibly, although I'll note that the charges on all those other desperate people seem to be trespassing.
And if it was a felony? That's not an automatic death penalty, and those cops aren't friggin' Judges.
What felony? The doors were opened and what she did inside was at most a misdemeanor.
Do Capitol Police have a different set of rules in which they can justifiably shoot someone?
Did the unarmed woman possess a weapon? Was she exhibiting any threatening behavior that suggested her intention to cause injury?
This was an unjustified shooting of citizen.
If the homicide was so just then why need to shelter the officer?
