Now We Need To Revisit Lt. Michael Byrd

She was wearing a backpack and part of a large group that had just broken windows into a secure area of the Capitol. A backpack with a bomb had been found a couple of hours earlier.

It's rather hard to go through a window if you only move vertically. Does physics work differently in your world? She was clearly moving in a horizontal motion going through the window when she was shot.

What is a good distance? She was less than 4' from other members of the mob. She was 6-8' from the officer when she was shot. She wasn't executed. She was shot in defense of the US Capitol and the lawmakers hiding in that Capitol.

It seems you don't want to admit that you are the one being dishonest about the circumstances. You have tried to argue that there was no violence on that day.
We don't kill suspects for wearing a backpack. When she was shot she fell back into the crowd not forward. Byrd did not give her a warning..
 
A lone gunman is now a BLM protest?


Summary

The Baton Rouge police officer shooting was a lone-gunman attack that killed three police officers and wounded three others. The attack was allegedly in retaliation for police abuse of African American suspects.



Police responding to a call of someone walking a long a highway with a gun are now at a BLM protest?

July 17, 2016—Gavin Long opens fire on officers responding to a call in Baton Rouge, killing three and wounding three others before being killed by members of the SWAT unit.
 
Looks like you caught Pobre in a lie.

He has zero credibility with most of the conservatives on this forum.

He pontificates with statements that are proven wrong, over and over.
I have a Dallas PD detective friend that was at the Dallas BLM shooting. He helped take out the shooter. The guy was hold up in a corner of a parking garage. He was in a good spot and could shoot anyone approaching him. He wanted something to eat. They used a police robot to deliver food to him. They delivered a pound of C4 instead (thanks ATF). They broke out almost every window on that side of the building next door. The Robot guys were not pleased that the explosion torn up their robot. :LOL:

The Dallas BLM police shooting was a guy that wrote about hating police because of George Floyd. BLM was protesting about the police because of George Floyd.
 
She was wearing a backpack
Big deal. Backpacks are completely legal and are not weapons.

and part of a large group that had just broken windows into a secure area of the Capitol.
Broken windows do not justify deadly force.

A backpack with a bomb had been found a couple of hours earlier.
Neither paranoia nor cowardice on the part of Lt Byrd justify his summary execution of Ashli Babbit.

It's rather hard to go through a window if you only move vertically.
Ashli Babbit didn't go through any window. Her dead body fell to the floor below where she had jumped vertically.

She was clearly moving in a horizontal motion
She jumped vertically and was shot dead.


What is a good distance?
Distance is irrelevant. Byrd was not authorized to carry out summary executions on peaceful protestors in a public building. Ashli Babbit was executed because she was a Trump supporter, not because she somehow posed some sort of threat to anyone.

She wasn't executed.
Ashli Babbit's execution by a cowardly Lt. Byrd was captured on video.

She was shot in defense of the US Capitol
That is illegal. Ashli Babbit was not a threat to the US Capitol. The SCOTUS just decided. Lt. Byrd now needs to be arraigned for murder.

It seems you don't want to admit that you are the one being dishonest
You are being dishonest. You celebrated the execution of peaceful, unarmed American patriot Ashli Babbit because she was a Trump supporter. Fuck you.

Protecting who was sworn to protect does justify that shooting.
Ashli Babbit didn't go through any window. Her dead body fell to the floor below where she had jumped vertically.


She jumped vertically and was shot dead.
Once again, we have video evidence that shows you are nothing but a liar. This still from the video clearly shows her backpack halfway through the window. Her hand is visible through the door so has passed through the window. Her entire torso is no longer outside the window frame. Her body position would be impossible to achieve if she had only jumped vertically.

I see. Now you are admitting that your claim of there being "a good distance" was irrelevant and not an actual valid argument on your part.
Ashli Babbit's execution by a cowardly Lt. Byrd was captured on video.
You mean the video that proves you are lying about her only jumping vertically?

She was shot because she was entering through the broken window and not because she was jumping vertically.

Protecting who was sworn to protect does justify that shooting.
FALSE. It doesn't matter that he swore to protect someone, he was never authorized to assassinate anyone.

Once again, we have video evidence that shows you are nothing but a liar.
Once again, we have video evidence that shows that I am spot on, and that there is no lie beneath you. Why you, a leftist of all people, who supports every protestor who attacks police that you wish were defunded, suddenly goes to the mat to support an summary extrajudicial execution of a peaceful, unarmed protester by a cowardly, power-mad policeman shows that you are completely dominated by your sheer HATRED for those you perceive are political opponents.

This still from the video
Nope. Byrd did not have authorization to execute anyone. Byrd had only authorization to arrest people. Byrd committed murder and should answer for it in court.

clearly shows her backpack halfway through the window.
Booolsh't. The video clearly shows that she was acting peacefully and that no rational, reasonable person would see any need to use deadly force. That you would support summary executions, just because the victims are Trump supporters, is sickening to say the least.

Her hand is visible through the door
Nope, but if this is all you have, you lose. Byrd did not have authorization to execute anyone. Police don't get to do that. Why do you imagine that they do? In your mind, potentially being a Trump supporter warrants an immediate death sentence, yes?

I see. Now you are admitting that your claim of there being "a good distance" was irrelevant and not an actual valid argument on your part.
Both are true. She was a good, safe distance AND her distance was totally irrelevant. The police could have, and should have, arrested her if they truly felt that she was somehow not allowed to be in that part of that public building. You are arguing that Ashli Babbit was TRESPASSING so clearly she had to be killed. Your position is horrifically absurd. Her distance was totally irrelevant yes, when you begin making the case that Ashli was moving from one place in a public building to another, so she deserved a summary, extrajudicial execution.

You mean the video that proves you are lying about her only jumping vertically?
The video that proves you are lying out of a desperate attempt to somehow legitimize an extrajudicial execution of an American patriot because she was a potential Trump supporter. Have I said "Fuck you" to you lately?

She was shot because she was [moving from one place to another in a public building].
FTFY. She was shot because she was a potential Trump supporter who loved the US, and the coward who carried out the execution has your full blessing.

Does that about sum it up?
 
Lt. Michael Byrd assassinated an unarmed, peaceful Ashli Babbit in the Capitol for jumping vertically. Democrats were united in high-fiving Byrd for wasting a Trump supporter and quickly absolved him of all wrongdoing ... because, after all, Ashli Babbit was a Trump supporter. Democrats argued that Byrd was rightfully "frightened for his life" given all the after-the-fact hysteria that Democrats generated in order to bury Trump.

Enter SCOTUS. In a unanimous 9-0 landmark decision Barnes v. Felix less than two weeks ago (15 May 2025), the Supreme Court declared that it is not sufficient for a police officer to claim that he was in "fear for his life or the lives of others" when using deadly force. An objectively clear threat must exist such that it is determined that any rational, reasonable police officer in that situation would have also used deadly force. Given that the unarmed and peaceful Ashli Babbit's small vertical leap in a public building did not objectively obligate the use of deadly force, the cowardly Lt. Byrd needs to be arraigned for the blatant murder that he committed.

Yep, as usual the trump cult has gone full Nazi. The world is a better place without Ashli Babbit in it.

Yep, as usual, the leftist cult of death has gone full Nazi. The world will be a better place when society no longer has to deal with those who HATE all people with differing views.
 
Bondi is not a A.G.,
Yep, as usual ... let the denial begin.

she's a fucking servant/henchmen.
Bondi is a servant of We the People. I hope she puts Byrd in front of a jury of his peers. The judge's instructions will have to take the Supreme Court's recent decision into account.

It's so sad the path the trumptards having taken the world!
I understand why you are saddened by We the People totally rejecting you evil leftist morons and your death cult.

Vertical is not the same thing as horizontal except in your strange world. Your denial of video evidence only shows how far you will go to deny reality.

the death cult is yours. You're just fine with your thugs defacing our Capitol and beating up cops, you low-life, dufus.

You traitorous trumptards wipe your ass with The Constitution then whip it out only to hypocritically wag your fingers. You love for trumpism has totally broken you morally.
