Have anything to contradict the Department of Justice would have different authorization for lethal force for capital police VS my real life experience being an armed guard in the military.
Yep, circles, I'll have the same answers.

FFS, the Capitol Police don't report to the Department of Justice, they report to the Department of Homeland Security.
Your 'real life' experiences aren't relevant unless you worked for the Capitol Police and you can't even be bothered to know the actual facts.

Wtf?
These are the basic rules for lethal force.
“ If you tried to detain an individual that physically tried to escape.
To prevent the stealing of secret material.
To prevent stealing of nuclear material.
Prevent the theft of weapons.
To prevent critical equipment from being sabotaged
To prevent immediate and credible threat of bodily harm or death to a person or persons. And there was no special distinction vs a private or a base commander.
There are special exceptions. Like lethal force is authorized for trespassing at Area 51. But it’s clearly posted repeatedly along the property.”
Lethal force is not authorized to disperse a crowd.
Is that false.
There is no distinction between crowd or “riot” in that lethal force was is not authorized to disperse a crowd.
Now. “What” lawful use of lethal force did the “cop” fall under to justify the slaying of Babbitt.
The correct answer is none.
The Justice Department said in announcing the investigation that it was following routine procedure for whenever a police officer uses deadly force by having the Washington Metropolitan Police Department examine the shooting. The police investigators have made an initial determination that charges against the officer aren’t warranted, the people said, adding that Justice Department officials haven’t yet made a final determination on the matter. The U.S. attorney’s office in Washington is leading the broader investigation into the riot and prosecuting the more than 150 cases that have resulted to date.
The officer, a lieutenant, was essentially serving as a potential last line of defense between the rioters and members of Congress, thus providing some justification for his actions and falling well short of the standard necessary to charge a police officer with a civil-rights violation for a shooting, the people said.
“That’s where he drew the line in the sand,” a fellow Capitol Police officer said, adding that the lieutenant, whose police powers have been suspended, is expected to return to his previous status, though he is afraid of being retaliated against by Trump supporters.

And doesn’t the DOJ have jurisdiction over anyone US law falls under.

I just told you who the Capitol Police report to. You need it posted again?
Keep up with your strawmen though since it's working so well.

And you cited nothing concerning when lethal force is authorized.
And petty much how I though this would shake out. There will be no language the shooting of Babbitt was justified. The language will be more along the lines it’s not the shooters fault.

Capitol Police Lethal Use Policy
Here is the closest I could find.
In fact from the brief searches I could make, apparently the Capitol Police does not have a clear cut policy on Lethal Force and that it comes down to the officer making the decision in the moment for fear of life/self defense and defense of those around them.
a. Self-Defense of Defense of Another - deadly force is permissible in selfdefense, or to defend another person who is being unlawfully attacked,
from death or serious bodily injury.
(1) There is no requirement that an actual specific injury be inflicted. It
is, however, required the potential for such an injury must be
present and the threat must be imminent.
(2) Officers may continue to use deadly force as long as the suspect
attempts to inflict serious injury and indicates a willingness to do so.

And just a quote from the Maryland book, stating potential for injury and no requirement of injury:
a. Self-Defense of Defense of Another - deadly force is permissible in selfdefense, or to defend another person who is being unlawfully attacked,
from death or serious bodily injury.
(1) There is no requirement that an actual specific injury be inflicted. It
is, however, required the potential for such an injury must be

Ok. What lawmaker was being physically attacked by what means by Babbitt.

You find those rules yet? Must be tough twisting and turning in the wind like you are right now after being caught making things up and trying to pawn that off on everyone in the thread.

Find anything to contradict that Homeland Security has to abide by the same regulations dictated by the DOJ to protect civil rights.
