Topic: Summary Execution

Robert Barnes contrasts the "summary execution" of Ashli Babbitt at the U.S. Capitol with the media's handling of the Daunte Wright and George Floyd cases. He argues there is a blatant double standard in the justice system where an officer's identity is protected after killing an unarmed woman while other officers face immediate prosecution. Barnes links this domestic legal decay to the return of neoliberal "war drumbeats" in foreign policy.
