The Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riots and then was promoted has a lengthy internal affairs and disciplinary record that includes firearm-related incidents, a sweeping congressional investigation has found.
The issues in Captain Michael Byrd’s background included a failed shotgun qualification test, a failed FBI background check for a weapon’s purchase, a 33-day suspension for a lost weapon and referral to Maryland state prosecutors for firing his gun at a stolen car fleeing his neighborhood, according to congressional and police documents obtained by Just the News.
Byrd’s record was uncovered during a larger House Administration Oversight Subcommittee investigation into the Capitol Police disciplinary process and was chronicled in a letter Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., the panel’s chairman, sent Wednesday to the department’s chief, Thomas Manger, in which the lawmaker expressed concerns about the officer’s promotion to captain. more
Sure would have been nice to hear about this FOUR YEARS AGO. Great job, press assholes.
He killed on my orders. I enjoyed that very much.
It is absolutely time for another round of J6 hearings, starting in January. But this time with actual facts. And Cheney and Kinzinger need to be questioned along with Ray Epps and many others.
I have a better question, who gave the order?
This piece of shit has one coming.
I can just picture Byrd and Baldwin sitting in a bar, sipping their pink gins while bragging about their “kills!” as they carve notches in their guns. That’s assuming that Byrd hasn’t left his gun in the restroom… again! There is no justice.
anything is ok if ura fkng ******
There’s no statute of limitations on murder. He should be prosecuted. Unfortunately, you’d never get a jury in DC to convict another criminal.
In the immortal words of Gomer Pyle, “Surprahs, Surprahs, Surprahs”.
So he is an idiot affirmative action hire, chickenshit with a gun. Hang him from a tree.
