A newly-obtained video shows United States Capitol Police officers speaking with several January 6 protestors—including Jacob Chansley, the so-called “Q shaman”—inside the Capitol that afternoon.
One officer, identified in the video and confirmed by charging documents as Officer Keith Robishaw, appears to tell Chansely’s group they won’t stop them from entering the building. “We’re not against . . . you need to show us . . . no attacking, no assault, remain calm,” Robishaw warns. Chansley and another protestor instruct the crowd to act peacefully. “This has to be peaceful,” Chansley yelled. “We have the right to peacefully assemble.”
Watch:
The video directly contradicts what government prosecutors allege in a complaint filed January 8 against Chansley: “Robishaw and other officers calmed the protestors somewhat and directed them to leave the area from the same way they had entered. Chansley approached Officer Robishaw and screamed, among other things, that this was their house, and that they were there to take the Capitol, and to get Congressional leaders.”
Chansley later is seen entering the Senate chambers with a police officer behind him; he led several protesters in prayer and sat in Vice President Mike Pence’s chair. (The man in the yellow sweatshirt is William Watson, a drug dealer out on bond. He was arrested in January.)
Chansley is not charged with assaulting an officer; he faces several counts for trespassing and disorderly conduct. He has been incarcerated since January, denied bail awaiting trial. He has no criminal record.
American Greatness obtained the video from RMG News. The 44-second clip is reportedly part of a much longer video that has yet to be released.

Even if Ashli was “trespassing”, as asserted by leftist rags like the Washington Post, the People’s House should have had its gallery open more so on this day than any other — given the seriousness of the issue at hand that day — and what she did certainly didn’t rise to the level of violence we have witnessed in Portland, Oregon where numerous people have been arrested for felonies, only to later be released, on non-prosecution agreements, due to leftist political pressure and more threats of violence from ANTIFA and BLM. Her actions certainly shouldn’t have been taken as her death warrant.
It also should most assuredly be asserted that she couldn’t have been trespassing, not after one police officer after another is seen on numerous video feeds freely opening the doors to the Capitol Building and allowing the protesters ready entry.
Curiously enough, no one shot any of the “protestors” / rioters in Portland this past Tuesday, as they burned down one more police station. Just one more case of “the rule of law” for some and a free pass for others, especially if they are acting in the name of the Biden Regime, Marx, Mao and the Cancel Culture.
If police are now supposed to shoot unarmed trespassers without warning, Bree Newsome, a BLM leader, should be in a pine box somewhere by now, after she tore down the Confederate flag in June of 2015 outside the South Carolina Statehouse; but, she was simply briefly arrested and released, drawing praise from Hillary Clinton.
Newsome has since been quoted from a Twitter account as saying:
“I’m definitely in the camp of defending looting and rioting as a legitimate politically informed response to state violence.”
Ms. Babbitt could have just as easily been arrested, by the three policemen behind her, who were armed with pistols and AR-15s (“weapons of war” as Joe would say), if they had seen her as a threat. But, evidently, they didn’t see her as a threat. So why did her murderer see her as such?
And yet, the good, decent, fine American patriots, who — like Ashli Babbitt — knew the 2020 Election had been stolen and demanded the same answers she sought on that terrible and fateful day –are left with an unsatisfactory and unacceptable statement from the DOJ. We are simply told to accept their word for it, the word of a corrupt department that let Hillary Clinton escape espionage charges, at the very least, and also allowed traitors from within the Obama administration to run a counterintelligence operation against a candidate for the presidency, and then later against President Trump and his administration.
Forgive me if I cannot take their word for it, that this Capitol policeman’s motivations for shooting Ashli Babbitt were pure and within the parameters of the guidelines covering a “good shoot”.
When did it become acceptable to shoot unarmed Americans without warning, simply because they are in the wrong place at the right time? This evidently is the status quo under the Democratic Party Communist regime and whoever is guiding this ship.
It’s beyond unacceptable and outrageous to the point of making a white-hot anger rise in anyone paying attention. A federal officer shot and killed an unarmed lady who had already given so much to her country, and the elitist oligarchs of the Leftist Biden administration will not tell us who did it or why.
Where are the advocates who have screamed to the rooftops about “police brutality”? Where are all those who have called for an accounting of and transparency from police departments across America, as well as “defunding the police”? Isn’t it curious? They have no interest in seeking an accounting and answers for Ms. Babbitt’s family and all those who knew her to be a true patriot, in the finest sense of the word. …..

Just as a point of information the Capitol cop that shot Ashli Babbitt is one David Bailey, a black immigrant from Brazil and open advocate and supporter of black lives matter. He lives in Washington, D.C.
As already noted in the link above in the article’s second paragraph:
“Although there are numerous reports yet to be confirmed that identify this officer as David Bailey, a Brazilian immigrant and BLM extremist, we really just don’t know without the government itself being forced to tell the people who the shooter actually is. Regardless of who he is, this officer should have been made to undergo the same exact public scrutiny that we have witnessed in several recent shootings of black men, criminals in every instance, where the officers names were very nearly immediately made known and riots ensued, no matter how righteous a shooting it was.”
And the third paragraph hones in on the double-standard we all see employed, depending on the color of one’s skin and one’s political affiliation:
“Less than a day after armed robbery suspect Duante Wright was accidentally shot by Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter on Sunday, April 11th 2021, her name was plastered all over the Leftist mainstream media. Potter had inadvertently pulled her firearm while intending to pull her taser. It was not long before her address was also made public, and now her home is surrounded by fencing, barricades, and armed guards to prevent it from being burned to the ground by some angry mob, further agitated by Black Lives Matter, a communist-inspired organization. This is exactly how similar situations have played out, in high-profile police shootings from the days of Ferguson, Missouri in 2014, until Ms. Babbitt’s murder.”
Ironically, Bailey was identified by his BLM wrist bracelet which was visible when he extended his arm to shoot Babbitt. Patriot internet sleuths scoured thousands of photographs of Capitol police officers and found photos of Bailey wearing the bracelet in over half a dozen stills.
Most of the videos I saw on Jan 6 looked like a very disorganized tour of the capitol. Selfies were taken with CHP, they were seen holding the doors open and addressing folks as they filed in and generally appeared to be OK with what was happening.
There were a few bad apples who should be prosecuted for the destruction they caused, but NOBODY should be prosecuted for trespassing in The People’s House. SanFranNan just happens to be speaker, not the owner.
But wait, wasn’t this Chansley “Q-anon shaman viking helmet” previously documented as a crisis actor frequently seen in support of Marxist agendas, BLM, burning Portland OR, etc? What the F does that have to do with Q or anything remotely MAGA? He is a leftist agitator false flagging peaceful protest and i doubt he is actually in jail, unless it is in the royalty suite with a hot tub, gym privileges, and french cooking as another crisis act. What a pile of BS.
What, we’re like 4 months and counting into this charade?
STOP DEIFYING ASHLI BABBITT, SHE WAS A WILLING ACCOMPLICE.
Even if you could spell your name, you’d still be a retarded hump.. You’d have to stand on your mother’s shoulders just to kiss Ashli Babbitt’s ass.
Hey captain, you truly are a fuckwad!
until we don’t. Just ask Ashli
This may be the truth but will never see the light of day. msm has the Democrats backs.
I will say it once again so the message can be spread far and wide. I worked on Capitol Hill and the Capitol Building is one of the most secure buildings in the world. No one can gain access without the Capitol police allowing them to enter. The police will only do this during a planned rally with the permission of the leadership. This was a staged event within a real event and was used to flip the ‘insurrection’ narrative against President Trump by those who had utilized election fraud to win the election.
This is yesterday’s news, like cuomo’s actions led to nursing home deaths, (gasp) which we were then redirected to sexual harassment claims, (gasp) which we were redirected to him lifting his mask mandates. (gasp)

Complacency in the face of any wrong where one’s Inalienable God-given Rights have been violated is exactly what leads to tyrannical states that hold power indefinitely. Until the police officer faces a full and open review in a courtroom, this is not “yesterday’s news”.
Would you call it “yesterday’s news” if it was your loved one who was needlessly shot that day, essentially murdered? I think not. You’d probably be screaming “bloody murder” to the rooftops and demanding that communities across the country join you.
But then again, perhaps not. Cavalier and lackadaisical manners usually are indicative of a character flaw that doesn’t arise to do much of anything in the face of any abuse of anybody else, unless and until such a person is the subject of a similar situation.
