Poll of the Day > Capitol Officer who Killed ASHLI BABBIT is REVEALED ahead of NBC Interview!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Dailymail has revealed the Capitol Hill Officer who fatally shot Air Force Veteran turnded domestic terrorist, Ashil Babbit as Lt. Michael Byrd who will reveal his identity to Lester Holt tonight!!

The 53 y/o decided to come forward after the decision to exonerate him for the killing

Republicans have long demanded for that officer to be named as Donald Trump said "Who was the person who shot an innocent, wonderful, incredible woman?"

Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar also said "6 months ago today, Ashil Babbit, a 110 pound woman with nothing in her hands, not a rock, not a stick or a bat was shot dead by a still unknown capitol hill police officer"

Byrd decided to speak out unlike virtually all of his colleagues nationwide who have made split second decision to shoot has been allowed to hide behind their badge

NBC said "Speaking out and revealing his identity publicy for the first time, the officer will share his perspective on the events of that day, including the aftermath of the deadly insurrection and the threats he has received. He will also discuss the recent news that capitol police will not discipline him following an internal review, exonerating him for use of force"

Terrell N. Roberts, Babbit's attorney said "Quite a turnaround given the months of constantly saying that to identify him would expose him to danger. Where did that one go?".

Aaron Babbit filed a lawsuit claiming the Metropolitan Police Dept failed to comply with a freedom of information act request either to provide or deny his request for information. He went on Tucker Carlson to say somebody in D.C knows and nobody would tell them as he never knew he'd lose his wife to political violence.

Byrd shot Babbit in her shoulder as she tried to climb through a window into the speaker of the house's lobby during the riot by Trump Supporters who were in a bid to overturn the election results

Byrd's actions were deemed lawful and there is no evidence of criminal prosecution

Do you think he made the right decision?

hey police shouldn't kill people unless they're people i don't like

Hero

Annoint this man and build a statue smackdab in the middle of Bumfuck, Alabama.

well they just jeopardized this man's life. guaranteed theres a crazy person out there now trying to track this guy down.

tbh, if the races had been reversed, there'd be calls for his execution. Really underscores the double-standard where unarmed people are shot by cops.

Do you think he made the right decision?

No, because he shot into a crowd where officers were right behind the rioters. He very well could have killed a fellow officer. It was a reckless decision.

No. he should be in prison

You can have a yes/no without prison. It was the wrong call, but something that should be protected by qualified immunity.

...no time to not risk shooting into a crowd where you literally had cops at the back of the crowd who might have been hit? It was only by blind luck that he didn't kill a fellow officer. It was a stupid call. Given that there was an army of cops behind the crowd, I'm not sure you could make an urgency argument.

I'm not sure I've ever even had close to 34 accounts, and that whole thing got started because you conned me into posting a screencap of a moderation. And I think that might have been 3 years ago at this point, so it's ancient history unlike your ongoing issues.

no

i told you that posting it was a moddable offense when you made the topic about it

i specifically told you to not post it, and then when i and others told you it would get you modded you kept arguing that we were trying to trick you and then you got modded for it

No, you repeatedly claimed you didn't believe me and asked to see it. And then you told me to delete it, but then I got modded/suspended anyway.

you are right about me wanting proof, except that I told you to pm it so you didn't get modded.

but you, again, kept saying "you won't trick me", as if I wasnt the expert on what is and isn't moddable

Guys, re-read Zeus's original post in this topic. In this case, it is clear as day that he is not defending treason. He is saying the officer made a reckless call with that shot, which I can see; that there are other options the poll could and maybe should have had, which I'd agree with if not for the fact that this is a Duckbear topic, and bare minimum standards do not apply; and that this particular officer made the choice to be revealed, which is true. I have disagreed with Zeus on more things than I care to count, but come on. This is just picking on the man for his identity rather than the content of the actual, relevant post in question.

No Zeus is absolutely defending treason. The bitch was already past several "DONT FUCKING CROSS OR WE SHOOT" lines before she got the point where she got shot. There is absolutely no rational behind questioning the officer aside from "I'm angry they stopped someone on my side"

The most amazing aspect of that day remains that only one person got shot.

Except he's not. I'm not seeing his post as "No gunshot should have happened as a result of the woman passing the point of no return," rather "The gunfire could have hit someone else, such as another officer, during the heat of the moment." You saying he is defending treason, based on his words, is injecting a narrative that does not need to be here. You're attacking him for the sake of attacking him.

Lol at the hypocrisy of people hating cops for shooting people that, in many cases, were actually attacking them (often with weapons) saying this unarmed soccer mom looking lady had to be executed for trying to climb through a window. Pick a lane

I think everyone can pretty much agree it's okay for cops to shoot an active terrorist threat. "Trying to climb through a window" is a gross under simplification of what she was doing and is wholly disingenuous.

Yeah the whole terrorist, treason stuff is pretty funny coming from the nationalism is bad crowd. Once again, pick a lane. And also, by this logic, all the Portland protesters burning federal buildings deserved to get shot as well

This murderer should be as canonized as St. George of Fentanyl.

The ultimate saint duo of leftist Americans.

zeus has been doing that for a long time. he considers himself a true patriot, and defended the white supremacist in charlottesville here, ok?

Try breaking into a police station and see how it goes.

He had no way of knowing if she was unarmed and had to neautralize the threat.
He made the right call. It is unfortunate she died though. I am sad that some of my fellow liberals are celebrating someone's death.

On a side note the officer looks bad ass

Is this a fucking joke? They had taken over the capitol building and were trying to seize our elected legislators. The fuck is wrong with you?

Really dude? She was attempting to breach a secured location where there were politicians who had yet to be evacuated. Zeus is full of shit and everyone on this board knows it. He's always making disingenuous arguments, and the argument you are trying to defend is one of them. Think about who you are trying to defend when you're attacking me for no reason.

No.

I'm full aware of whom I am defending here. I said as much in an earlier post, in which I said I disagree with him on a lot of things. This is one case where he is actually not defending the act of treason. Take a step back a moment, and look at what is being said rather than who is saying it. Speaking as someone who has logged as many, if not more, hours as anyone here calling Zeus out on his shit, I compel you to look at his original statement as a neutral one rather than the defense of the crazy woman that got herself killed. Did he say the riots were right or wrong in that post? No. Did he say the officer made a choice that potentially endangered the lives of other people. That he did do. I am not defending anyone's defense of treason; I am saying you need to get things right and be better than how you see Zeus, or else you fall into the trappings of also being full of shit.

That's all.

Yeah, he could've. It is called eyesight. You can't just utilize lethal force without first assessing them as a immediate threat to the safety of yourself or others. All because there is a riot going on outside does not give you carte blanche authority to fire upon people. By that logic it would've been perfectly ok for the police to fire upon the BLM rioters with live ammo or even other people from the January 6th riot. It was pretty much a extrajudicial killing, as all inquiries into the shooting where completely dropped without investigation. It is easy to overlook it given the person he shooting, but there was no way it was justified in a legal sense.
