    It favors the political elite and crushes the most vulnerable. This kind of corrupt government eventually collapses, but not before the Gestapo brutalizes the citizens.

    Thanks for that meaningless rebuttal of something I didn't assert.

    We need a statue of this man ASAP
    We got statues of a man who pistol whipped and robbed a pregnant woman so why not have a statue of a man that saved the election by gunning down an unarmed little white lady?
    Seems to be the new status quo for statues these days

    Post #115 is what's known as a thread killer.

    It wasn't a homicide.

    IF you read the article and consider the source as you read it you see that it is a very carefully crafted article. The way they word, "refused to testify" or "did not formally interview" or "friendly journalist" all are very cagey ways to cast dispersion on situations that are innocent or meaningless.

    The fact is he WAS investigated by three different agencies and none of them concluded that any wrong happened. There are miles of video that show he was alone defending the last bastion separating dozens of manic insurrectionists from Congress persons just a few yards away. If he hadn't acted that mob would have flooded through the breach easily overwhelming him and left free to make good on their threats of life and limb on the evacuating Congress. -> IMHO <- had he not acted many more people would have been injured possibly killed by that very angry mob; his single shot stopped the whole mob cold defusing a very violent situation.

    "I" think the video shows that he was extremely in control of himself and that his training was exemplary. That he only fired once proves that, most training practices a double tap, two quick shots, to stop a threat. Officer Byrd fired once, using a minimum of force, to diffuse a very volatile situation. It's unfortunate that Miss Babbitt's injury was fatal, but, again, I think that single shot saved much more violence, injury and possible death. And I believe that's what the three investigative agencies concluded as well. I'm sure our Congress men and women are reassured, whether they'll admit or not, that he is "in Charge of House Security".

    That is false on both accounts. She was armed with more than a dozen manic confederates screaming bloody murder, and intent on carrying out their threats on Congress evacuating the building only a few feet away. NOT violent is horseshit, the video clearly shows the mob, armed with polls spears and anything they could get their hands on, destroying two sturdy doors in order to get to OUR representatives.

    I think "race" has a lot to do with your comment.

    So did that shot bring the unarmed invasion to a halt? If so, wouldn't a shot in the air have done the same thing? Is this same type of situational justice applied equally to shop owners where unarmed intruders are breaking into their stores?

    cops never give statements, they know the "you have the right to remain silent", no one should talk to police without a lawyer

    the video spoke for itself.....

    A human being was killed by another human being, that is a homicide.

    He refused to issue a statement, he refused to be interviewed by law enforcement. He was allowed to get away with it.

    This was a HOMICIDE.

    And none of them were ever able to interview him, or get a statement from him. None have release their full reports, all the interviews with others who witnessed, none of the forensic evidence. No justification for the shooting.

    The video shows he was panicking an the one shot shows he probable fired accidentally because he was so panicked. He says he shot center mass which is high probability a fatal shot. The FBI has said they found no evidence of any plots to kill anyone or injure anyone. The rioters were not armed.

    The fact is this has been a cover up of the killing of a citizen by law enforce, a citizen who was not presenting an imminent threat to the life of anyone.

    Of course they do especially in a lawful shooting and he did not invoke the 5th amendment and right to remain silent, he simply refused and the investigators did not press him or even call a grand jury. Yes the video speaks for itself, an unlawful shooting.

    We saw the video through the crowd side and through a window with private cell phones …. The side we did not see nor ever will see… is the Capitol security videos from the side Byrd was on and his response and actions…. It may well be an open and shut case against Byrd if ALL were known.

    Of an unlawful shooting. There is no evidence from the video anyone was imminently threatened with their life by Babbitt. The officers on the other side of the door prove that. Where are the transcripts of the interviews with those officers and others?

    Why didn't they press Byrd to give his statement and why didn't he?

    If you are not going to address the issue you are correct.

    nope, they do not in most cases, they know better

    in fact, in most cases, cops are never questioned, and given a paid holiday

    sometimes even given disability pay for life for PTSD

    Only if you are posing an imminent threat to someone else and after the officer has a reasonable belief you are armed and in the process of using that weapon against someone.

    It is amazing the standard to which you on the left hold officers when it is a black person in the process of killing someone and a white person merely trespassing in a political protest. Can you name any other protest at the Capital or the White House or any other federal building where when the protesters broke through police lines the officers started shooting?

    NO, that's the "Federalist's" wording. What happened, if you read closely, is he was never "formally" interviewed; that doesn't mean he didn't tell his superiors, who had miles of footage of his actions, his recollection of what happened. Why would he invoke the 5th amendment, nothing happened that would incriminate him, how could he incriminate himself? A Grand Jury is seated if/when there is something to be investigated. Three agencies determined they could conclude the investigation and exonerate Lt. Byrd. Apparently YOU disagree with three professional investigating agencies, what are your qualifications again, and as an American you are entitled to your opinion; but it's just and opinion.

    Why and why didn't the investigation press him for HIS statement of events and why didn't he give one in this homicide?

    And so now it is open season on political protest, law enforcement can just open fire and then we don't even demand they tell authorities why they did so?

    Oh well THAT is where we are at now. Next time the police shoot someone we don't need an complete investigation and statements of the officers involved anymore. We just bury the dead now and the officers resume their duties.

    I'll keep that in mind the next police shooting you care to comment on.
