All I'll say is once she got shot everybody else realized they weren't about that life
Some insurrection eh? Dude that shot should be charged with manslaughter.
@@dustylense No, they were a violent mob and I bet you were against the BLM protesters.
@@dustylense well, tough titty, he was exonerated. He did nothing wrong.

The life of murderer
A woman who worked at the Capital building on January 6 said when she arrived that day she was surprised at the lack of Capital police that day. She said it looked like a Saturday. There’s about 2,200 Capital police, 500 was on duty at the Capital building that day. People in the top ranks was told the day before the Capital police would more than likely be engaged that day. Someone purposefully had a minimal about of officers there, that person is also a traitor.
were told
Guess who is in charge of Capitol Building security?
Here's a clue. She was big friends with Jim Jones in the 1970s.
@@WombRaider7878 The capitol police board and sergeant at arms were not friends with Jim Jones. At least as far as I know.
@@furiousapplesack He's also not a she. Keep guessing.

What he is saying is totally different from her husband and others were saying.
He was a coward who shot her while peaking around a corner. He didn't have control of the situation. He didnt address them head on like the other officers. No one drew a fire arm except M. Byrd. #Coward!
The rioters scattering and panicking after Babitt hits the floor paints a different story about who actually didn’t have control
Who is man is a liar this man is a coward he stuck his gun out and shot then he threw it back in there like a coward he saves no one no one was in danger he wasn't in danger and he's a coward he is a murderer
Any other protest and the media would be calling for this officers head.
Any other protest, and the officers would have been in riot gear attacking the protestors before they even made a move on the capitol.
Yea any other protest. Just goes to show that everyone hates trumpers and do not care when they get shot. I know I don’t care. In fact I like it!
ANy other protest Trump and his supporters would be defending him and calling him a "hero".
Their stuff u can control and stuff u can’t. Where was trump daughter let’s be serious she lost her life but trumps daughter is alive. People need to think.
If it were a BLM "protest" and this cop was white and Ashli Babbit was black he would be properly demonized as the murderer he is just like Derek Chauvin, but since it was the Proud Boys who committed this attack there was no media outrage for Ashli Babbit's death like there was for George Floyd's and Breona Taylor's because she was a white Trump supporter therefore she didn't fit the narrative.

A riotous mob has entered a federal building with the INTENT of stopping the vote counting process & causing PHYSICAL HARM to multiple members of staff. A BARRICADE has been made at the doors to the Speakers Lobby where the above mentioned vote & staff are located.
Several people have used objects to break through a window & a person has advancing through the window/over that BARRICADE despite repeated WARNINGS that they will be shot. They are then shot. Justified.
Womp womp, better luck next coup attempt.
>>>Federal officer, using force to prevent the riotous assembly from advancing into an area where VIPs are present.
shooting a person through a barricade = complete fine no trial even needed
Shooting 3 attackers who’ve already attacked you = name dragged through media and lengthy drawn out trial
No trial needed coz it’s black and white. He was doing his job, he was protecting the staff, it’s a federal building.
Shooting 3 attackers can be a gray area. I knew it was self defense and I was on rittenhouse side but his case was more complicated. The prosecutor kept saying that rittenhouse should have not been there and if he wasn’t then those 3 would have been alive
In this other case, they can’t say this stuff and make things complicated

Just as the capitol police firing tear gas into a crowded group of people that were not advancing on the capitol until the gas was shot behind them and they had to move away from the gas it was intentionally done to make the people look to be attacking when they werent i believe the police were the aggressors just like bird was the only one who was using deadly force his actions were intentional and malicious and a act of murder he wasnt protecting anyone by shooting someone who he didnt even identify as having a weapon its clear he murdered that unarmed defenseless woman and they are trying to portray him as a hero instead of the zero he is

@Georgia Fain violent criminal act?? What was that act??? What law did she break? Destruction of government property? So people should get shot in your worldview for breaking a window? Your a pretty violent dude.
it seems to me that Byrd did not look at the situation as a whole but acted like only he could take action. there was a superior officer on the other side of the door with a dozen riot cops and regular cops. duty says talk to the officer on scene to get direction. i never heard any testimony like that. look at the images at 2 minutes 10 seconds. those three guards will abandon their position to let three men break the glass. one of them will convince Ashli to go through. after a whole year of investigation has anyone heard anything more? look again at 2 minutes 22 seconds. how is any protester going to hear him screaming commands when the breach is on the right side and Byrd is taking aim from left? he says he saw Babbitt from the side so that means he was not close enough to get in her face to give her any orders that might be heard in all the confusion. forget that "tactical position" nonsense excuse he said. there were plenty of police on Ashli's side of the door. did he attempt to get any of them to come back and hold the line? as soon as Babbitt fell suddenly police came on camera so they must have been very close by. being exonerated by Capitol Police doesn't mean anything if they never asked the hard questions like i did.
why was babbit trying to break into house chambers as lined on the incident report

Turns out the brother of Michael Flynn (who called for Martial Law the day before the insurrection) Lt. Gen. Charles Flynn, in charge of the Army National Guard, at the Pentagon, was on one of the calls on January 6th, although the Army initially lied that he wasn't. Story was reported by the Washington Post. This whole thing is getting stinkier and stinkier. You have to remember people, these were still Trump's men at the Pentagon.
He fired Esper and then put one of his lackeys as "acting Secretary" of Defense, then he stacked the Pentagon in December, with his faithful dogs, including that awful little maggot Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie et al. Trump knew what the plan was for the 6th, so he put lapdogs in positions that would reign confusion and lack of timely response on that fateful day. Michael Flynn was neck deep in what happened that day, whether you all believe it or not. There was no Martial Law, but they did get their insurrection.
Two very angry men, Trump coming off the heel of a second impeachment, and Michael Flynn who was fired twice, once by Obama and then by Trump, whom he later pardoned, while waiting to be sentenced for prison. I hope you people are aware and alert to what they almost pulled off. *The taking over of the government by force*.

@@TheOneTrueFett they'll forget it the next time Antifa decides to firebomb a courthouse.
Surprised that a lot more of those criminals weren't shot that day.
Only if you're an unarmed, nonviolent, person of color. At least that appears to be the excuse given to blame the unarmed dead black man who wouldn't comply.

How did #Capitol #police #lieutenant #MichaelByrd shoot and neutralize #USAF #veteran #AshliBabbitt to death during the #CapitolRiot?

Possed such a threat that the armed cops next to her didnt do anything.

This shooting was completely justified. If the cop didn't get to her the Secret Service would have and probably had a few more dead bodies to deal with.
Why don't you explain to us exactly what the Capitol protestors who entered the Capitol did? Many of them were invited in and respected the velvet rope walkway. The amount of propaganda about this incident is insane.

What was she doing there in the first place, armed or not armed?
She was part of a cult.
@michael matthews She was not. She Stormed the United States Capital, Broke through Barricaids, Raided a United States Government Building, and got shot while trying to Bust Down a Door to Attack members of Congress. she also had combat and military training and was accompanied by a giant violent mob and he gave her multiple warmings before firing.

The same officer who leaves his pistol in a public bathroom.
The death threats are sad to hear, however why is this man still a Police Officer???
She was warned more than once, the video shows (clearly) her being given medical care by 2 police officers, that day she was a rioter, proud veterans don’t destroy and illegally enter US property; the county she supposedly cared enough about to enlist in the military, and while inexcusable, him leaving his service weapon in a bathroom has nothing to do with her

Why the 4K dislikes? RIP to Ms. Babbitt, but she is NOT above the law. Storming a capital building, attempting to push through a POLICE barricade, ignoring lawful orders. Obviously, those 12yrs served taught her nothing.
Just because she was not visibly armed, doesnt mean she was not a threat. Furthermore, Officers were hearing claims of armed rioters over the radio, other Officers being trampled by protestors. ANYONE in this mans shoes, as the LAST line of defense, wouldnt be absolutely sure she wasnt armed either. This Officer had his gun drawn for quite some time before firing. Babbit ignored that, because she allowed the influence of a man that would forget her name in a heartbeat, to brainwash her into thinking she was above the law.
Not trying to bring race into this, but every video i see of a minority losing their life by police. White people ALWAYS say "should of complied", "should of listened". With tht said, where was Babbitt's compliance, why didnt she listen?
She was not a criminal who defied orders
She was killed because she was a white woman
That is what many of us believe in truth
The man has no sense of guilt and he even brags about his action
Having said that she was not right to be in that place and unfortunately she was executed for trespassing
The mob was not armed and killed no one despite their unlawful storming
Only this individual who had forgot his gun in a rest room in the past, had to shoot without warning a woman flanked by polimen
The uncensored video of the killing is heartbreaking and only savages can rejoice at watching that
Some comments are repulsive and unworthy of civilized humans

Not much different than someone breaking into a window of your home. Unarmed or not, your going to get shot. He did his job to protect and defend.
Didn’t know that cop lived in the capitol building, thanks for the info
It was not a private building, it is a public office. She was unarmed, he shot her through a locked door window, he was in no danger.
it a public building. He issued no warning, he saw no weapon, she was not posing an immediate threat. If he was a city cop hed be fired and sued
So when looters bust in a window of Target they are allowed to shoot them? You Leftists are the most hypocritical lot of them all. Make up your minds on the issue not just when a conservative gets shot.
He wasn't at home asleep, he shot and killed an unarmed girl which makes him a murderer.
