Sgt. Betsy Smith, spokesperson for the National Police Association, says the American public deserves to know more about the fatal shooting of U.S. Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

Smith believes that the continued politicization of police has to be addressed, adding that while Babbitt did wrong in being part of the group that entered the Capitol, the message the Department of Justice (DOJ) is sending is a double standard. She is ok with the officer not being charged, but thinks the American public deserves to know the details of why deadly force was deployed.
