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.
~Snip~
By 2023, Byrd was promoted to the rank of captain by Capitol Police leadership.
Loudermilk is specifically concerned about Byrd’s promotion because of his lengthy disciplinary history, which includes at least two firearm incidents and one confrontation with another officer while off duty.
In 2004 — in the earliest event uncovered by Loudermilk’s investigation — then-Sergeant Byrd attempted to halt a car theft while he was off duty by brandishing his gun and firing two shots at a stolen vehicle in the middle of a suburban neighborhood, according to a Capitol Police Internal Affairs report reviewed by Just the News.
When explaining the incident to investigators, Byrd claimed that he fired his weapon at the oncoming vehicle as it tried to strike him. But, when the vehicle was found officers located one bullet hole in the rear of the vehicle that entered from behind, contradicting Byrd’s account, according to Loudermilk’s letter.

Commentary:
Byrd should have been prosecuted by city of D.C. because he fired his weapon negligently and killed someone.
Who pulled the strings to keep him out of jail and then promoted him?
The incoming Republican House Speaker should haul the Capitol Police brass in to provide sworn testimony as why man with his history is still on the force and has been promoted to the rank of captain. Don’t they have people with better records?
I don’t have to say DEI do I?
DEI hiring and promotion can be deadly. Byrd should have been prosecuted for murder or at least negligent homicide in the death of Ashli Babbitt.
When a policeman shoots and kills an unarmed civilian who is not resisting or fleeing, a civilian who was never confronted or given the option to surrender - it is murder!
There are no statutes of limitations for murder. I hope this will be taken up by up by Trump’s DOJ.

Ashli Babitt was trying to break into the congressional chambers when she got what she deserved. Stop whining.

I wrote and sent a letter to the Trump campaign and begged them to not let these people off the hook... from Garland to Mayorkis to Pelosi on down to this murdering rent a cop... I want them prosecuted...

This is noty really any new news, Doc. This bum Byrd has been protected for too long for the murder of Ashli Babbit.
Hopefully there will be something Trump can do about this bum as well as make amends to her mother who was arrested by the capitol police for protesting his actions seeking justice.

 

[toobfreak]

She knew what she was doing was wrong, she was a veteran.

STFU you idiot. She was seeking redress of her grievances with our government as guaranteed by our constitution.
Shooting an unarmed woman making absolutely no threatening moves just for attempting to walk through a doorway by this fcking COWARD is the problem.
Justice will be found.

There was nothing to redress and she was NOT doing it peacefully. She was trying to enter through a window the mob she was with busted open.

 

[Doc7505]

This cop was notoutof control.

~~~~~~
No justification to shoot an unarmed woman...

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

the Democrats investigated themselves and then found themselves to be innocent

Unfortunately all this won't matter because Biden will give a pre-emptive pardon to him on his way out the door.
