Naming the Capitol Cop Who Killed Unarmed Jan. 6 Rioter Ashli Babbitt
At top, pistol drawn in the House chamber, a plainclothes black officer who fits the description of Michael L. Byrd. His name was apparently divulged at a hearing as the cop who shot Ashli Babbiwww.realclearinvestigations.com
I saw no justification for her being shot and it makes no sense. This one woman was the lone threat? That said most complaining have argued for years to just do what law enforcement tells you to do and no one gets hurt.
They still do but all the same, why does it not apply here?
she was security detail while she was in the AF & knew the 2nd she trespassed she was committing a crime. she also knew that when she was front & center of a mob trying to force their way into the house chambers where the inside security were the only barrier between a bloodthirsty crowd & the members of congress they were defending & protecting. she rolled the dice & lost. it was her own fault.
All the same the officer that shot was not at risk. I do not support killing someone in that scenario.
they were busting thru the door.
"They". If she was a danger so were the hundreds of others.
There's a difference between justice and revenge. You guys really want to kill this mystery hero.

I guess it takes a big, brave, heroic man, to shoot an unarmed woman in the back.

I wish they had shot a hundred of them. Maybe then you people would have gotten a real idea of the gravity of what the insurrectionists were attempting.There's a difference between justice and revenge. You guys really want to kill this mystery hero.

True, but did you hear that cop yell out "First person through gets shot!" No. He said nothing before firing. The filmer was standing close to where he was standing and had the audio on the whole time. I heard nothing from that cop...nada....what I did hear was another person from behind the doors say, "I see a gun!". That would have been enough for me to not attempt to continue to get through the doors. She chose to continue but I have no proof she heard what was audible on tape when the person (sounded like another in her group) saying I see a gun. My point? Even in the heat of the moment, hearts racing, adrenaline pumping, focusing on protecting the sealed area, that cop should have at least shouted out "I plan to shoot!" or similar heads up but he chose to stay mute. Maybe if this does go to court, as it sounds, he'll provide testimony about why he just chose to shoot without verbal warning when he had the time to do so.I saw no justification for her being shot and it makes no sense.

I watched it over and over at that part. As you've said, he's out of sight at first but then his right hand holding a gun can be seen at the bottom left of the screen for, what appeared to be, at least 30 seconds before shooting. Thirty seconds would have been more than enough time to give a verbal warning. Fifteen seconds would have been enough time to include a verbal warning. In fact, he could have been holding it in place a lot longer than the tape revealed, but as you said I can only attest to what the tape contained.True, but did you hear that cop yell out "First person through gets shot!"

We have no idea what kind of warning he gave. He was out of sight of the camera at first.
She didn't even enter the rotunda before she was murdered, hypocritical ass.she was front & center of a mob trying to force their way into the house chambers
The death of this woman must not be forgotten......justice for her killer must be demanded.
Why do you think Trump is keeping her killers name private?The death of this woman must not be forgotten......justice for her killer must be demanded.

So, am I claiming to have all of the details that went on with that cop and the victim? No. I will be interested in finding out what the court testimony contains and concludes. Maybe the cop did give a warning, but I don't think so since everything was pretty clear on that tape and his nearby voice would have most likely registered.
I understand when they need to hold off on releasing info that could result in jury tainting, but back to that name thing. Now, I'm sure if I were a member of that cop's family, I would not want the name to be released, and if I were in Babbitt's family, I'd want all answers yesterday. Since we're talking about someone I don't know I don't care equally as much about, by any means, but still care a great deal about other people and in making all efforts to have fair results.I watched it over and over at that part.

I absolutely believe the family deserves answers and I hate the excuse "we can't release the info until after the investigation because we have seen it can be released and the investigation can still continue but.........
If this had been a black man in Chicago, many complaining would not be.
He only had to shoot one person, after Ashley no one else wanted or tried to go through that window.I'm shocked only one insurrectionist was shot. The rest got off easy.The death of this woman must not be forgotten......justice for her killer must be demanded.

He was protecting our Congressional representatives. That's just as legitimate as shooting in self-defense, maybe even more so in this scenario because that was his job, to protect them, with deadly force if necessary.I saw no justification for her being shot and it makes no sense.
