The official narrative behind US Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd just got much more interesting.
On January 6, 2021, video evidence captured US Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd shooting unarmed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt without warning as she attempted to climb through a narrow window near a barricaded entryway to the Speaker of the House’s office area in the U.S. Capitol.
Following an investigation, Byrd was cleared of any wrongdoing, although questions remain about the escalation to lethal force without attempts to subdue or detain Babbitt. In the video, other armed law enforcement officers are visible in the background, appearing available to provide backup if needed.
In addition to Byrd leaving his Glock 22 service weapon in a Visitor’s Center bathroom in February 2019, Byrd also had his police powers revoked on several occasions for failing to meet semi-annual firearms qualifications standards
freaking killer cop! 4 years isn’t enough time for President Trump to root out all the lies and wrong doing in D C. We need to figure out now who will be our next president after him…J D Vance or one of Trump’s children?
Yes! We should re-establish a Monarchy, make him King, and when he eventually does then his oldest son takes over, and so on. The way things used to be.
I’m very surprised that Byrd didn’t take early retirement, basing it on disability caused by PTSD.
