@T. A. Gardner thinks his investigation has discovered new evidence. It's interesting.

It still leaves he failed to follow federal use of force guidelines as his training required and that he left the scene after shooting her. Those two actions alone call for criminal charges.

Probably never. Byrd is way down their "to do" list.

He did not leave. That has been debunked.

No it hasn't and you offer no proof. On the other hand, there's plenty of examples of what a piss poor cop Byrd was.
- A 2004 incident where Byrd, who was off duty, fired his weapon at a stolen vehicle as it was fleeing his residential neighborhood;
- A 2015 "conduct unbecoming an officer" complaint filed by a fellow officer after Byrd, again off duty, confronted him while the officer was working at a high school football game in an incident with racial overtones;
- A 33-day suspension in 2019 after Byrd left his service weapon unattended in a public Capitol Hill bathroom;
- A failure to pass a routine background check shortly after Jan. 6 when attempting to purchase a shotgun for home protection, after the USCP worked to provide Byrd a department-issued shotgun instead, he failed the training; and
- Three further referrals to the Capitol Police Office of Professional Responsibility for which records are reportedly missing.

No, I'm simply presenting what was already known and covered up, particularly by the Democrats.

There is no cover up. If an average Joe like yourself can discover evidence like that easily, then there were no cover up.
A very simple fact? Officer Byrd did it in defense of the Congress people.
They can investigate till their face are blue. Nothing will come of it.

Trump loves money and thinks everyone else does too. It's not his money he's giving away. He incited the attack and is now trying to pay off those who participated and went to prison for it. Notice no compensation for the police. LOL
Hmmm... Who should we believe? Some know-it-all on the internet or the results of the official investigation?Wrong! By the time Babbitt climbed through that window, the House floor was cleared.
Only capitol police remained in the chamber. There is a series of photos that confirm that timeline. They had blockaded the main entry door and were guarding that. That's why Babbitt and other rioters circled around to the position where she was eventually shot. So, there was no threat to any Congress members at that point and Byrd should have been aware of that having been on the House floor chamber earlier.
The investigation further determined that Ms. Babbitt was among a mob of people that entered the Capitol building and gained access to a hallway outside “Speaker’s Lobby,” which leads to the Chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives. At the time, the USCP was evacuating Members from the Chamber, which the mob was trying to enter from multiple doorways. USCP officers used furniture to barricade a set of glass doors separating the hallway and Speaker’s Lobby to try and stop the mob from entering the Speaker’s Lobby and the Chamber, and three officers positioned themselves between the doors and the mob. Members of the mob attempted to break through the doors by striking them and breaking the glass with their hands, flagpoles, helmets, and other objects. Eventually, the three USCP officers positioned outside the doors were forced to evacuate. As members of the mob continued to strike the glass doors, Ms. Babbitt attempted to climb through one of the doors where glass was broken out. An officer inside the Speaker’s Lobby fired one round from his service pistol, striking Ms. Babbitt in the left shoulder, causing her to fall back from the doorway and onto the floor. A USCP emergency response team, which had begun making its way into the hallway to try and subdue the mob, administered aid to Ms. Babbitt, who was transported to Washington Hospital Center, where she succumbed to her injuries.
At the time of the shooting multiple members of Congress were still in the House chamber in the gallery.

Clearly there was. Byrd got favorable treatment. His interviews were clearly scripted, with him giving 'perfect' answers. That is, he was coached.
There were no "Congress people" present to defend.
The fact remains that the video and Byrd's subsequent actions show he failed to follow federal use of force guidelines and fled the scene. Those alone would get a more than reasonable chance of conviction.
