US Capitol Police Capt. Michael Byrd, who fatally shot unarmed J6 protester Ashli Babbitt w/o warning

The other LEO's were not in line of sight and had not identified themselves as approaching.
They were clearly Leo and were basically behind Babbitt. Byrd was extremely reckless. He should have just arrested her. I hope Trump and Bondi indict him.
 
He fire his weapon in the direction of other LEO who were behind Ashli Babbitt. VERY VERY reckless.
YOu really think someone assigned to protect congress hasn't been trained to watch his sight lines for crossfire?

Get real, kid.
 
There were at least 6 uniformed police officers mixed in with the protesters.
So you are suggesting that removes the legal blame from the thousands that trashed the Capitol and beat the cops into the hospital. What is your point, assuming you are correct?
 
Watch the videos. There's plenty of them of Byrd shooting her.






There were at least a half-dozen uniformed police officers mixed in with the protesters at that point. If Babbitt's actions were such that lethal force was required, why did none of those officers act? Clearly the protesters weren't trying to disarm the police mixed in with them.

Byrd fucked up and the Capitol Police and Democrats had every reason to cover that up.
I hear someone in the crowd shouting "he's got a gun, he's got a gun" but Babbitt keeps trying to get in. That was stupid.

they were a tactical team racing to provide back up and were not in the line of sight of the door yet. You can watch the video of their approach. i have.

You cannot arrest a mob who is surging all around as every Capital Cop pointed out. ONce the mob surges into an area where they surround the cops, as Ashley was about to do, all the cops weapons become the mobs weapons, which is why the Capital police refused to use or pull their guns once surrounded saying the mob would take them and use that as an excuse to kill them.

Red herring and non sequitur. We are discussing Ashley Babbitt's shooting and Officer Byrd's actions here. That's it.
 
An unarmed person can be a sufficient threat in some cases to warrant shooting them. That isn't the case with the Babbitt shooting.
It was not only the case but one of the most righteous and rightful shoots we have seen.

Thus why Trump and Bondi will DO NOTHING about it despite really wanting to. It would be the biggest embarrassment yet for them in courts if they tried as the Grand Jury might give him a medal instead.
 
Not really. So the cop in FT. Worth that shot a Black Homeowner Atatiana Jefferson that pointed a gun at him through the window should not be in prison for manslaughter?
I'm not aware of this incident. How about the cops who shot Breonna Taylor by forcing their way into her apartment?

Watch the goddamned videos again. There are THREE (3) officers directly behind Babbitt when she starts through the window. They are all up against the hallway wall.

The mob was breaking through a door that was between the mob and the politicians. The cop was doing his job by protecting the politicians, even the Trumpies and righties. That's it. He did his job. His actions were reviewed. He was cleared.
