So Officer Michael Byrd who shot and killed Ashly Babbitt that day was one of the commandos authorized to shoot and kill potential terrorists??

This doesn’t explain the murder of Ashli Babbitt

What's really puzzling is how the Capitol police officer managed to pick out the one genuine Trump supporter in a crowd of antifa. If I had those kind of psychic powers I'd buy a winning lottery ticket and retire to some tropical paradise.

The FBI did operate against the President you moron. Good Lord.

They are an independent law enforcement agency that operates impartially….supposedly.

It’s no different than a local sheriffs department or police department.

Yes, a police chief answers to a Mayor. But the Mayor can’t dictate what the police investigate.

Remeber the story about the Special Forces stealing Pelosi’s laptop? Maybe they just secured it. Go figure. Now the DNC ensure’s no good deed goes unpunished. There is a reason the military must be wrecked.

There was this guy wearing a hat who after he was handed a helmet to bash a window withdrew to the stairwell the capitol police had secured where he swapped some clothes to make an escape.

Referring to John Sullivan. Released and later arrested.

You have no idea what you are talking about simpleton. Show me one place in the law that states the FBI is “independent”. Their illegal activity against Trump is not evidence that they did so legitimately.
The FBI is not even independent of the DOJ, much less the President.
They are working hard to make that the case and push a lot of propaganda that way to help it be seen that way.
It appears you have fallen for that.

Put up your evidence of codified independence.

They weren't going to let a mob smash their way into the congressional chambers. Shooting one convinced the rest to not go through that door.

It may actually be tangentially related. There were uniformed cops guarding those doors moments before. They were pulled because a group of cops in tactical gear were coming up the stairs to block those doors. In between she tried to go through the broken glass, and was shot. If the uniformed cops had stood there another 20-30 seconds until the tactical guys showed up with rifles to take their place she most likely wouldn't have even tried. But I don't know if those guys were part of the police, or one of the special teams being referenced.
