Lieutenant Michael Byrd, the Capitol cop who shot rioter Ashli Babbitt dead on January 6, was 'nervous, teary-eyed, and appeared very upset' after gunning down the Air Force veteran, a secret report has revealed.More than 500 pages of internal DC Metropolitan Police documents on the fatal shooting reveal witnesses said Babbitt was not carrying a weapon at the time and describe how Lt Byrd was shaken by the event.Babbitt was a fervent Trump supporter who was killed when she was at the front of a mob trying to climb through a shattered glass door to the Speaker's Lobby during the riots.

And then somebody said, "don't worry, brother, we'll take care of you. Nice shot."

He should feel bad. But don't kill yourself, officer. You need to live a long life paying back that which you cravenly stole.

"...she was at the front of a mob trying to climb through a shattered glass door." Lies, twisted truth, and more lies. Typical leftist propaganda. And the common Democrat laps it up. She just got up in the door because she just wanted a look. The "mob" was milling around. Some other cops were standing around near her on her side of the door. Byrd murdered her, apparently because he's a dumb sh**head. And he's being protected to protect their warped narrative.

Lieutenant Michael Leroy Byrd, of the Capitol Police force, panicked and shot and killed Ashli Babbitt.
The Deep State Swamp did everything they could to hide his identity, for a while, and has greatly assisted in covering up his murderous act.
Lieutenant Michael Leroy Byrd and Nancy "Witch" Pelosi are hiding additional relevant information from the American public. They do not want you, or anyone, to know about it.

For being a highly trained and tenured cop, being teary eyed, when you thought you did the right thing, just doesn't hold water. This was murder. I wonder if superiors told them that there might be trouble?

And then he got protected from taking responsibility for his crime, then he got his 15m on tv and I expect his book to come out soon followed by a made for TV movie on Oprah's channel.
Poor guy. /s

Funny how other officers who shoot and kill in the line of duty aren’t afforded this kind of care and understanding.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for him? Really!! There was NO REASON to shoot that young woman. None. I doubt seriously she was trying to climb through anything. Do we know for sure he did the shooting or was he just the one they thought could garner a bit of sympathy because he's not that bright. He ended the life of a lovely young woman. There's no coming back from that.

I think Pelosi just wanted a dead body to warrant her little 1/6 commission and all the other BS the Dems and their "little helpers" are pushing. Ashli Babbitt just happened to be the one they took out using a man that knew he was committing a political murder.

Total BS. If he was behaving as trained and did what was right he shouldn’t have such qualms. He must have know he did wrong. Why? And as far as being at the front of the mob, i didn’t see much effort on the part of the Capital Police to control the crowd. They seemed to be welcomed by the police.

Not as teary, shaky and forever nervous and heartbroken as Ashli’s family is forever. The D.C. Metropolitan Police is beneath contempt. The only police force in our country unworthy of respect - an arm of the democrats.

She was not at the front of a mob trying to climb through a shattered glass door. She was on a tall man’s back, looking through the broken part of the glass door pane. She was on the stair landing side of the door/pane.

Amateur! He panicked, freaked out, wet his pants, and took a blind shot. Pro knows exactly where and what he's shooting at to avoid harming innocent bystanders.

Was anyone brandishing a fire arm? Was the person who was shot and killed armed? Was she posing a threat to anyone?
If she was doing something illegal, fine. Charge her for the crime or misdemeanor and let her have her day in court. But why kill her? She was no threat.
I still say we'd be better off sending every member of Congress along with every member of the Biden administration to Afghanistan in exchange for any American left behind as well as any Afghan who assisted America and her allies.
We can always find more idiots to fill the halls of the Capitol Building. And perhaps they won't be as corrupt as the ones we have now. We cannot, however, replace the souls that Biden -- "Let's go, Brandon!" -- behind.

Probably getting his fair share of “infrastructure “ money from fancy Nancy to shut up and hide. He’s no cop. He’s a tool.
Amazing he is the only person who thought it was necessary to pull out a gun. No one else did. And the protestors were not armed. And the disgraceful Capitol police knew this. Kind of looks like murder

Psychologically unstable, poorly trained affirmative action hire freaks out under a bit of pressure a murders an innocent woman.
He never should have been armed in the first place. He needs to arrested and tried for manslaughter or murder.

This is what happens when unqualified people are promoted due to Affirmative Action. He obviously doesn't have what it takes to be a professional police officer.

Chauvin is in chains for a guy that died of a drug overdose, while this guy is on video murdering an unarmed citizen, who was surrounded with police, and weighed in at 120 pounds.

There was no insurrection. It was a setup by the FBI, Capitol Police, Antifa, and Nanzi Pelousy Democrats. Byrd is a murderer and should be charged as such.

No matter how much lipstick you smear on Byrd, his actions were that of a Pig. Byrd was not in imminent danger. He disregarding his training. He is no different that Derek Chauvin. A LEO gone ape.

He was probably ordered to do it, a patsy. They either bribed or blackmailed him. He was forced to do it.

He's in the wrong line of work if he goes wobbly during the event and can't keep his stuff together ntil things are over.
FTA: "Kyle DeFreytag, 26, Howard Liebengood, 51, Jeffrey Smith, 35, and Gunther Hashida, 43, have all killed themselves in the months following the storming of the governmental building."
Are we supposed to believe that this event, the unarmed "storming" of the capitol imparted such fear and PTSD that such a high proportion of those involved committed suicide? I'll have to ask my friend who was on Hamburger Hill how many of his fellow survivors offed themselves. Am I supposed to believe Ashli Babbitt was more frightening than the NVA charging up the hill spraying 7.62 mm hail from AK47's?
Theory 1) They knew too much and were not trusted to keep quiet
Theory 2) They knew they were on the wrong side and people on the side of right got killed
Theory 3) They were scared spitless by Ashli Babbitt and an idiot in a historically incorrect Viking suit.
I can only eliminate one of those because it's simply preposterous.

Byrd should have done the right thing and ate the second round himself. A long life of guilt and remorse works for me too. Affirmative action stooges should not be trusted with firearms,
