The mother of Ashli Babbitt speaks one year after her daughter’s death
- Thread starter ziggy
- Start date
He asked for his attorney as was his right. Never ever speak without an attorney present. Ever.
A glass panel came completely out of one of the windows and a protester started to come
through the opening. There was a lot of screaming and Sergeant - heard someone
yelling, "get back, get back."

Sergeant - never went on the other side of the barricaded east door. He also did not
know that"ii"'WBS"'U'utenant Byrd who shot his gun until he talked to him moments after it
occurred. Lieutenant Byrd looked upset and stated, "I was the one who took the shot."

OK, ether talk with the investigators or we will take you to the Grand Jury where you will have to testify or take the 5th. They didn’t get his statement or make him take the 5th. And you agreed if they didn’t get his statement it was a sham investigation
The demonstrators were breaking the glass
out. He, and the other officers gave several commands for the crowd to, "Stay back."

Nope. He invoked his right to an attorney.
I'm still reading the documents.
He explained that the demonstrators were yelling, cursing at the officers, making obscene
gestures. He did not actually hear shots fired, he thought it was the windows being broken out,
but the radio announced, "Shots fired."
While he noted that lieutenant Byrd was shaken, he did not say anything. He has worked with
him for about a year. He observed that Lieutenant Byrd was nervous, teary-eyed, and appeared
very upset. His vo ice also shaky when he called for medical assistance over the radio.
Lieutenant Byrd was still very upset. Another Sergeant took charge of the group of officers, and
had them all walk to the Rayburn subway.

And that someone was the rioters not Byrd just as I told you. Plus Byrd was on the far left and a lot of rioters were screaming between Byrd and Babbitt.

So he heard someone shout get back but didn’t hear the gunshots???
Officer - Yes. The protesters I'm sorry. The protesters beat the the glass out.
Um, we gave probably about five or six demands of stay back, stay back, you know,
um, everybody was staying back with the windows out. A female comes in and the
shot was fired and she went back. But I mean, everybody had their guns drawn. Urn,
but once that happened, uh, nobody else tried to come through, but it was more or
less of a, they kinda, they didn't disperse. They stayed there with the whole, you
know, just chanting things and, but nobody has tried to come through.

Obtained via DC FOIA by Judicial Watch, Inc.•Agent - Yeah. I'm just writing that down. Cause otherwise I'm going to forget.
Officer - That's fine.
Agent - My Capitol geography is very limited for obvious reasons, so. Okay.
So this happened on the second floor. I'll East. Now you heard, you heard Lieutenant
Byrd discharge his weapon?
Officer - Yes.
Agent - Did you see him fire his weapon or did you just hear it?
Officer- I heard it.
Agent - You heard it? Okay. So where was he in relationship to you when he
fired?
Officer - It is, he was standing right here, like the housemaid, the Lobby East
doors says right here and it's a pillar right here. He was standing right here.

So nobody identifies Byrd as the one issuing warnings to stay back. No one said stay back or I will shoot
Notice how much ExpressLane try to flail when presented with the actual documents of the investigation?
