Lt. Byrd erroneously believed and acted on a false radio call and/or false report of shots fired on the House floor occurring before he left the House floor and moved across the Speaker’s Lobby to the adjacent Retiring Room. “[T]here was reports of shots fired through the House main door onto the floor of the chamber,” he said. “Of course that changes your postures,” he added. “I drew my weapon” and “[took a] tactical defensive stance and posture to protect myself,” Lt. Byrd said. Page 18.I oppose that as much as I oppose the Ashley Babbitt killing. I oppose all police murders of civilians.
No, I only have to prove that he could not have reasonably concluded that shots were fired. Which I can by the tape, which contains no sound of gunfire until he fires his gun at an unarmed woman.
You clearly don’t rely on what you can see with your own eyes in the tape, either. You rely on what you’re told by the media to believe, appears to be the case.
Oh, I’m sure that he will be granted “Democrat immunity” just as Joe Biden recently was.
Note NO PRESS, just the complaint.
