Numerous aspects of what unfolded during the Capitol riot have been hotly debated in the months since it happened, but few have been as contentious and emotional as the debate over the officer-involved shooting death of Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt.
The 35-year-old Air Force veteran was shot and killed by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd on January 6th after she tried to climb through a glass-paneled door after parts of it had been shattered by another rioter, identified as Zachary Jordan Alam.
Babbitt, who reportedly had been standing next to Alam, was shot.
In April, the Biden Department of Justice announced they had closed the investigation into the fatal shooting

The video demolishes the conclusions of the official review. Believe the government or your lying eyes. And what we have seen is only a small portion of the video record. The Jan 6 videos are not being released because there was no riot, and the leaders of all the violence are FBI agents, BLM, and Antifa thugs. The video will show if Michael Byrd's mouth was moving. Experts can see through any mask. All we ever get are lies, lies, and more lies.

I am a huge supporter of my local police. I "back the blue" 100%.
However, when a cop does something wrong, I also fully support punishing them to the highest degree allowed under the law. Officer Byrd killed an innocent unarmed woman for protesting. She wasn't violent. She wasn't a threat to him or anyone else. He didn't save a single life that day -- he took one innocent life -- and he should be facing prison for the rest of his life for doing it!!!
This type of massive cover-up wreaks of politics and is exactly whey so many of us have no faith left in the judicial system in this country at all!!!

If you come out of a supermarket, and a hooligans' is destroying your car with a tire iron, you will go to jail the rest of your life for shooting them. There is not a State in the Union that allows deadly force in the protection of property.
Ashli Babbitt was murdered in cold blood for breaking a window, because an ignoramus (and vastly incompetent) civil servant drank the Leftist koolaid. And so long as he keeps drinking the koolaid, they will reward him with protection.
The rule of law is officially dead in America. It survived a barrage of wounds in the Clinton administration. Same under the Obama administration under the same cast of characters. And it was finally put down by the BLM and the Capitol Police.

Byrd is an incompetent, poorly trained affirmative action hire who panicked and murdered an innocent, unarmed woman for no good reason.
He deserves prison 100 times more than Officer Chauvin, very clearly.

I saw the video just after Jan 6. She was just standing there beside two armed police officers. The video i saw also showed a guy in the crowd walk behind the cops change his jacket and hat on the stairs and leave.
Byrd gunned her down in cold blood.

His job was to shoot someone, either to create a stampede and/or riot, and to have something else to blame trump for. The shooting didn’t have the desired effect however.

Q: Why did you shoot-to-kill an unarmed Woman, who in the process of climbing thru a window using both her hands for that purpose, was NOT an immediate threat to you?
A: She obviously was a Trump supporter.
Investigative Review Panel: Okay then. Works for us - you're free to go.

1. The fix is in.
2. He is a friend of Nancy.
3. The scarf and sweater were a dire threat to National Security.
4. He is black, she is white. Enough said.
5. The Jan 6 hearings (which will never be held) will clear everything up.

But, but, he displayed “ultimate courage” in shooting this little unarmed woman and thereby saved many lives…

If I were Mr. Byrd. there's no way in God's good green earth without Nancy Pelosi standing off camera with a loaded gun pointed at me (a real possibility) that I'd allow even the softest of softball interviews to take place (ie, Lester Holt, who would be the slowest underhand softball pitcher known to man and the deep state).
I trust Ms. Babbit's family attorneys are going through this interview with a fine toothed comb as to show any discrepancies between the "official (ie, sanitized)" accounts vs the story Mr Byrd is selling.
Probably, there is no justice in this current situation for Ms. Babbitt's family for the sensless MURDER that Mr Byrd inflicted on them. Decisions in the next world are beyond my pay grade.

FTA* 'she tried to climb through a glass-paneled door after parts of it had been shattered by another rioter, identified as Zachary Jordan Alam.'
It is surprising, and discouraging, that Legal Insurrection would repeat such debunked descriptions as those above.
She was not climbing through broken glass, nor was she in cahoots with another rioter.
She was an honourable AF vet, God Rest Her..........not an auntie frou frou.

Like I said, the Babbit family needs an attorney with teeth.

No Statue of Limitations for homicide.
For the rest of his life what he said in the interview can be used against him by a legit AG.
That time will come.

#11 (point 4) and #18 hit the nail on the head. The 800 pound gorilla in the room:
Armed black male policeman, unarmed white female Air Force veteran. Zero in on their skin colors. Everything else is superfluous.

Naci Piglosi's personal executioner is beyond the law. Laws are for us, not them. Perfect example of a two tiered Just-Us system.

White cop convicted of murder in Minneapolis for kneeling on a black felons neck.
Black cop exonerated for shooting an unarmed white female veteran that was trespassing in the Capitol.
Does anyone else sense something is really wrong with our so called justice system?
