"This settlement of $5 million not only undermines the position of law enforcement but also sends a troubling message about accountability during a time of unrest."
"The fact that a settlement was reached after extensive investigations showed there was no wrongdoing raises serious concerns regarding justice and law enforcement integrity."
Dan Abrams, founder of Mediaite, criticized the DOJ's settlement of nearly $5 million to Ashli Babbitt's family. Babbitt was shot and killed during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, as she attempted to breach a locked door. Initially, the DOJ found no evidence of civil rights violations, but the stance shifted after Trump’s re-election. Abrams voiced his concerns alongside Rep. Don Bacon, arguing the settlement undermines law enforcement's integrity and accountability, questioning the implications for future police actions.
