Byrd was following his orders: Kill a white Trump supporter, so their media jackals could call it a deadly insurrection.

At minimum, he could fire a warning shot.

A person of ordinary intelligence and temperament would be haunted by the actions they took that day, having shot an unarmed protestor from cover without warning. But I doubt Byrd thinks much about it.

This is called “CYA”. By granting immunity from prosecution to Michael Byrd, the policy of affirmative action in the Capitol Police is protected into perpetuity.

Michael Byrd should have bee dismissed from the Capitol Police long ago, for repeated dereliction of duty.

This is right up there with “prosecutorial discretion”.

At the minimum, the killing was manslaughter and misuse of a firearm. That the Democrats and press hid the shooter's name for so long shows their culpability in a killing. It is now legal to kill an unarmed American.

Depending solely on which party does it.

Completely pointless to do in a beltway courtroom. So hopefully they bring it in a district where Justice is still blind

Byrd joins that elite group which includes himself and Lon Horiuchi.

Fortunately there is no statute of limitations on murder. So after Trump gets re-elected for the 2nd time in 2024 and after the DOJ gets an anal probe and absolutely everybody in its senior ranks gets unceremoniously fired, Michael Byrd can be cuffed, perp walked and thrown into solitary confinement.

The problem is DC. It is simply impossible to get a fair trial in DC. So the venue needs to be changed. The problem there is the judges in the DC circuit are every bit as biased as DC juries.

At the very least, the Trump supporters who have been made political prisoners and their families should be told to file a class action lawsuit against the federal government. Then the new DOJ under Trump can immediately admit its guilt and give them a generous cash settlement. That, there’s nothing the DC Judiciary can do to stop.

The documents note that the shooter, U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, “did not create a police report or documents” related to the shooting of Babbitt.

I’ll bet it is a requirement for the Capital cops to file a report for every discharge of a weapon, yet somehow, no report is just fine, even though the shot killed an unarmed woman.

if it’s a rat-infested D.C. jury, there will be no justice.

This is proof democrats and black people can get away with murder in this racist society.

Ashli McEntee Babbitt was the only one murdered that day. A few protestors died from heart attacks during the protest which isn’t unusual when you get 100’s of thousands of people together anywhere, especially when a lot of them are old.

And no police died because of the protest, and anyone who says so is lying.

And the only shots fired by the supposed “insurrectionists” were the ones that murdered an unarmed protestor (Ashli McEntee Babbitt)

There is no statute of limitations on murder. Once we retake power, we can prosecute the murderer then.

In a section titled “Recommendation,” the memo details:

Next time shoot them all, no exceptions, no quarter, no mercy.
