New ‘Damning’ Footage of Ashli Babbitt Shooting Released Showing Capitol Police Officers Doing Absolutely Nothing to Stop It
Trending Politics ^ | 11/13/2021 | Kyle Becker

Posted on 11/13/2021 5:43:11 PM PST by SoConPubbie

Newly released footage of the Ashli Babbitt shooting has been obtained and released by Judicial Watch. The footage is part of the 14,000 hours of documented surveillance video that the FBI and Capitol Police have refused to release to the public.

The footage is striking in that it shows Capitol Police officers gathered behind the protesters while they suspiciously orchestrate a break-in of a corridor to the Senate chambers. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton sets up the video at the five minute mark.

The video was also announced by Judicial Watch in a press release:

Piece by piece we’re putting together a clearer picture of the unnecessary shooting death of Ashli Babbitt on January 6, 2021, in the U.S. Capitol Building. Our suspicion about the tragic affair is heightened by the government’s recalcitrance in releasing the information it has.

This week we received multiple audio, visual and photo records from the DC Metropolitan Police Department about death at the hands of a Capitol Police officer. The records include a cell phone video of the shooting and an audio of a brief police interview of the shooter, Lt. Michael Byrd.

We obtained the material through a May 2021 FOIA lawsuit filed after DC officials failed to respond to two April, 2021 FOIA requests to the Metropolitan Police Department and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for records related to Babbitt’s death (Judicial Watch v. The District of Columbia (No. 2021 CA 001710 B)).

Babbitt was shot and killed as she climbed through a broken interior window in the United States Capitol. She was unarmed, and a 14-year Air Force veteran. The identity of the shooter was kept secret by Congress as well as federal and local authorities for eight months until U.S. Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd went public to try to defend his killing of Babbitt.

The new records include a new cell phone video, edited by the DC police, that depicts police reacting to the shooting.

Also included among the records is an audio recording of an interview of Lt. Michael Byrd by the DC Metropolitan Police on January 6, 2021. The voices in Byrd’s and other witness interview audio recordings are all digitally altered to try to hide identities.

The documents also include photos of the area where Babbitt was killed and DC police photographs of Lt. Byrd, his hands, and his gun. The photos also include pictures of a folding knife reportedly found in Babbitt’s pocket.

Δ

Other audio interviews of witnesses provide first-hand accounts of the shooting.

Last month, also as a result of this lawsuit, we released records from the DC Police about the shooting death of Babbitt, showing that multiple officers claimed they didn’t see a weapon in Babbitt’s hand before Byrd shot her, and Byrd was visibly distraught afterward. One officer attested that he didn’t hear any verbal commands before Byrd shot Babbitt. The new records include audio recordings of these witness interviews. The records also include internal communications about Byrd’s case and a crime scene examination report.

There is no statute of limitations on murder. One day in saner times there will be justice for Ashli.

The killer knows he's as safe as a kitten at least until January 2025.

This isn’t new, but it was shown only once or twice and disappeared.

Why is it the the Federal Government is hiding the identities of all of the Capitol Police that were in the immediate vicinity of the Ashly Babbit murder?

I saw better video available on Youtube the Day of the Murder and So called insurrection.

The Government is trying to conceal the crime of murder by one of its agents.

That Pixelated Garbage video they gave Judicial Watch is worthless since the officers can’t be identified.

One officer attested that he didn’t hear any verbal commands before Byrd shot Babbitt.

Was this from one of the police armed with rifles who were adjacent to Ashli as she climbed through the window?

If so, that credibly contradicts Byrd's statement that he screamed warnings before shooting Ashli.

Byrd lied.

Byrd lied.

That is a given. It is like saying "Monday follows Sunday." or saying "Water will wet you."

Graham admitted the story was true.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for Hannity to ask him about it.

What type of ammunition does the Capitol police issue to their policemen?

Was this guy carrying the authorized ammunition?

The guy had left his weapon in a public bathroom a couple months prior, and is proud to have killed an unarmed woman, and it’s been reported that he’s received awards in private ceremonies.

It was clear 99% of the (elected) Republicans supported him as they wouldn’t use the woman’s name (Ashli) or ask any of the obvious questions.

Any one of them could’ve identified him, or had a press conference on the Capitol steps asking why this particular shooting didn’t follow any of the rules that apply to LEO in the district.

13. We need to know what other officers around Byrd on the inside of the door were saying about the situation and what they said to Byrd and vice💲 versa.

We need to know why the other officers around Babbitt on the outside of the door were not standing between the crowd and the door.

Why were they standing with and behind “ashley” ?

Why weren’t they doing their jobs?

Cuz

It was all kabuki false flag theatre.

Jmho.
