Ms. Potter committed a terrible ACCIDENT. She reacted in an effort to protect herself. She was in a dangerous situation.

The capitol cop, Michael Lewis, killed Ashli Babbitt in cold blood. He was never threatened at all. His life was never in danger. He has suffered no accountability to date. He is a member in good standing of the DC SWAMP. The leftist have polluted our justice system.

“Ms. Potter committed a terrible ACCIDENT. She reacted in an effort to protect herself. She was in a dangerous situation.”

She was in a dangerous situation, but she should have practiced enough with both weapons to the point she knew which was which so that her hand was aware of which weapon it was holding. Muscle memory with firearms is a thing and I realize I do not practice target shooting enough. However, that shouldn’t be an excuse for cops.

I think about the cop in Minnesota who killed a woman who had called because she thought there was an intruder behind her house. The cop shot from the police car passenger’s seat and killed her. He never should have been on the force, or either before being issued a firearm, should have had to prove he was proficient in its handling and knew when it was necessary to unholster his gun. Mistakes happen and most are due to a lack of training, practice, and proficiency.

I believe he was put up in the executive suite at Joint Base Andrews for two months and awarded a medal by Brandon himself as well.
