No - I what I'm asking is what was it that she did, specifically.
Describe her conduct:
Did she hurl a Molitov Cocktail ?
Light a match and set a trashcan on fire ?
What exactly ?
The Trump Card...

From what I've read - at least in some instances - possibly because they couldn't identify discrete targets (the individuals actually doing the throwing)
No.
Ashli Babbitt didn't threaten human life, she entered a restricted area. Like a looter would do.

What about the police that have been set on fire while sitting in a patrol car.....or ambushed like in Chicago.....you try to excuse one side while vilified the other side....your more Democrat than you think.

Lol quite abit of the brick and water bottles thrown was in the day time.....From what I've read - at least in some instances - possibly because they couldn't identify discrete targets (the individuals actually doing the throwing)
No.
Remember when a person charged the stage when Trump was giving a speech while running for President the first time? His protection at the time was not to shoot the individual but to instead to apprehend the person, because 1. they didn't see a weapon on him, and 2. they had the ability to just grab and tackle him without using deadly force.

The mob she was a part of was threatening human life.
She just made a whole series of bad decisions which ultimately cost her her life.
Tragic to be sure, and entirely avoidable on her part.
Her decision to be out front at that moment was incredibly ill-advised.
But that's what can happen when you let the fee-fee's rule rather than reason.

What about them ?
Nope.
You think that's somehow an insult.
The particular group that was breaking the glass that she was near, reportedly didn't assault any officers. Damaging property for sure. How is this different than rioters breaking glass, looting, entering businesses that are restricted/ closed?

So what ?
Last time I looked, when some is chucking stuff at you from behind an umbrella, it's kinda of hard to draw a bead on who is actually doing it.
Almost 50 Chicago cops were injured last week during statue protest - as 'criminal agitators' launched fireworks at them and threw bottles
Maybe you have those magic x-ray vision glasses from the back of comic books that allows you to see through things ?

Are you blind and stupid she was NOT doing anything other than climbing through a broken window and was shot in the neck.....your friends the blm and antifa have done much worse and not been shot.....setting a federal court house on fire while employees are in side....cops should have shot every last one of them.

Reported by WHO ?
At any rate, that's not correct - watch the first few seconds of the video, first guy up shoves his shoulder into an officer:
Video shows fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt in the Capitol
I could explain it to you (and have), but I'm afraid I can't make you understand it.
What do you mean wrong? It's an opinion for cryin' out loud.
You should get a job as a fact checker. They fact check opinions.
You can't pick and choose what you wait to see. You have to look at all of it. Too many Antifa and BLM rioters were arrested and charged only to later have the charges dropped not because of lack of evidence.
Really? The exception to the rule, that's what you're going with?

In Portland, 13 were arrested without using deadly force. After molatov cocktails and other projectiles thrown at officers. Three were hurt.
But unarmed woman Ashli Babbitt climbing thru a glass was shot without warning.
That's not necessary. You said so yourself. All you have to do is be part of a mob that is threatening life or serious bodily injury. You can arrest somebody, and even shoot them, if they're part of an angry mob.

Likely while grossly violating Rule No. 4 of basic firearm safety:
4. BE CERTAIN OF YOUR TARGET, YOUR LINE OF FIRE, AND WHAT LIES BEYOND YOUR TARGET.
Your view would be obscured by the umbrella, which would potentially leave you in the dark as to what all might lie beyond that umbrella.
In these particular circumstances cops would be firing into a crowd.
People who are inclined to act emotionally and out of rage are like loose cannons: dangerous to innocent people around them.

No, actually I didn't.
Apparently, you inferred it though.
None of that has anything to do with how one properly handles a firearm against a particular, discrete individual threat.
