If this is Why Ashli Babbitt was Killed, the Killing was Wrongful

    I find a strand of what is wrong with America reflecting in what North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer said the other day.

    Cramer was speaking of the riot at the Capitol, and of how one of the protesters, Ashli Babbitt, was killed. Information on who killed the officer is unnecessary, he said, because Babbitt was a "criminal" violating officers' orders.

   Run that by me again? We live in a nation where disobedience to authority brings the wrath of immediate termination of life? 

   Cramer is wrong in what he said. "The person that shot her is a police officer shooting a criminal not complying with the officer's telling her, 'Stop!' 'Don't come through that window. We have guns drawn. Don't do it!' " Cramer said. 

  If someone doesn't stop, they are worthy of death? Cramer and a million others might think so. I don't. Killing is a wrong. Life is too precious. Bibles sit aside beds throughout the world saying, "Don't do it!"

   The mentality that if you don't obey a police officer, you are worthy of death is a mentality that America has adopted. That is wrong. Bless us with a change of attitude.
