So now we know who it was. He says shooting her saved countless lives. From what? A woman with a flag around her neck? Also he says he has had racist threats. How is that when no one knew who he was? This is BS and really makes me angry.
Officer who shot Ashli Babbitt speaks after months in hiding: ‘I saved countless lives’
In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Lt. Michael Byrd said he opened fire only as a “last resort” after the rioters failed to comply with his commands.www.nbcnews.com
The issue wasn't Ashli as an individual. The issue was the throngs of slack-jawed, knuckle-dragging jabronis behind her.
What is so hard about that for you people to understand? Mess with the bull, get the horns. Insert whatever witty apothegm you use in these situations.
In the video, the cop's gun was drawn many seconds before she climbed up. Many were shouting, "Gun! Gun! Gun!".
She had plenty of warning to stand down. She didn't and that was her choice. And she took a round to the noggin. Whoops!
And now her beta husband is grifting his way to a sweet retirement.
Ain't America great!!!

Whatever you want, honey. Just remember, I charge extra for that. Venmo me in advance please, because we both know you never pay after the fact.
What a crock! If Ashli wasn't the threat (as you claim) then use of deadly force upon her would not be authorized. No Congress critter was injured, none were assaulted, thus there was no imminent threat of death or serious injury encountered as required by the use of deadly force doctrine. She hadn't even got into the enclave when the officer shot her in the upper chest.

Yea, yea, yea. Officer was cleared of any wrong doing, so there's that. And poor Ashli is still dead, LOL. Sucks to have been her!
You mean the internal investigation? Yeah, that really is conclusive. With there being no statute of limitations for homicide he might not be clear at all if someone else takes an actual look at the matter in the future.

Maybe she should have worn a BLM hoodie - the cop would have most certainly been found guilty by now.

They believe it because they (desperately) WANT to believe it, ergo: it's a "fact."

Capitol Police Officer Who Shot Ashli Babbitt Speaks (but Shouldn't Have)
At last he speaks. We now know what has long been an open secret, that it was Lt. Michael Byrd of the U.S. Capitol Police who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6. In his interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, Byrd was inconsistent in his grasp of the facts, self-contradictory, and ill-informed on the law governing police use of force. If this is how he performed under Holt’s gentle questioning, it’s easy to speculate on how he would hold up under cross-examination by a competent and even mildly aggressive attorney, and I am more confident than ever that the government will settle with Babbitt’s family rather than risk a trial featuring Byrd as the key witness.
Understand that it is not only Byrd himself who will be accused in the wrongful death suit yet to be filed. His department will also be named when the suit is brought in the jurisdiction the plaintiffs choose, and in speaking with Holt, Byrd exposed some departmental deficiencies a jury may see as having contributed to Babbitt’s death. For example, Byrd says his assigned detail, which was dedicated to protecting the House Chamber, was operating at about one-third of its customary manpower on Jan. 6, this due to COVID protocols and the need to divert officers to the demonstration. Byrd was comfortable with this, he tells Holt, because his department had not received “specific intel that would require us to change or adjust our posture.”
This is not to suggest Byrd himself was responsible for the lack of advance information or for personnel decisions, but people above him in his chain of command certainly were. And surely there were those within the myriad agencies of the federal security apparatus who knew the crowd would be large and that some people within it were potentially violent. Was this information relayed to the Capitol Police? If not, why not, and if so, why wasn’t it acted upon?
Byrd also spoke of the confusion and his own lack of information in the moments leading up the shooting. Through his police radio and in emails he received on his phone, he heard the reports that rioters had breached the Capitol and that officers were being injured. “There was reports of shots fired through the House main door,” he says, “onto the floor of the Chamber.” He later learned that report was unfounded, but in that moment this information understandably affected his thinking.

Why does a woman who smashed in a window in a restricted federal building afte b eing told repeatedly to stop being shot make you mad?
I thought people shouldn't break the law if they don't want the consequences.
What would you have done if you are the cop watching her kick in the window with an angry mod behind her?
What is wrong with you?
