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.

  • A 2004 incident where Byrd, who was off duty, fired his weapon at a stolen vehicle as it was fleeing his residential neighborhood;
  • A 2015 “conduct unbecoming an officer” complaint filed by a fellow officer after Byrd, again off duty, confronted him while the officer was working at a high school football game in an incident with racial overtones;
  • A 33-day suspension in 2019 after Byrd left his service weapon unattended in a public Capitol Hill bathroom;
  • A failure to pass a routine background check shortly after Jan. 6 when attempting to purchase a shotgun for home protection, after the USCP worked to provide Byrd a department-issued shotgun instead, he failed the training; and
  • Three further referrals to the Capitol Police Office of Professional Responsibility for which records are reportedly missing.

He was still justified in shooting the young woman who was involved in a hostile act of breaching the Capitol.

He didn't shoot a protestor. He shot a rabid dog that was attempting murder. He is a hero
 
Veteran didn't know that storming the capitol violently is against the law and the cop warned her several times to stop breaking the glass. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
These idiots forget that there is video of the entire incident. Including no less than 3 warnings by her fellow terrorists that there was a gun.

Rabid dogs are blinded by rage.
