Capitol Police officer who shot Ashli Babbitt exonerated in internal probe
|
 [NBCNEWS] The Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt outside a door of the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot has been formally exonerated after an internal investigation, according to a department memo obtained by NBC News.
The officer, whose name has not been released,
| ...but who nonetheless has been named numerous times in comments (with corroborating links) as Capitol Police Lt.Michael Byrd, who has had other moments of carelessness during his career... |
opened fire on Babbitt as she and a mob of other Trump supporters tried to forcefully enter the Capitol.
Video of the shooting showed Babbitt in front of a crowd of rioters trying to get through a door leading to where members of Congress were being evacuated on the House side of the building.
The Justice Department announced in April that no charges were being brought against the officer. The exoneration by the Capitol Police wraps up the last remaining investigation into the incident.
A memo from the commander of the Capitol Police’s Office of Personal Responsibility says "no further action will be taken in this matter" after the officer was exonerated for use of force.
The Capitol Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A lawyer for Babbitt's family declined to comment.
Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was a decorated security forces controller who served multiple Middle East tours from 2004 to 2016, according to Air Force records.
In recent years, she posted numerous messages on social media indicating she was an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump
 ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
and a follower and promoter of many well-known radical conservative activists as well as leaders of the QAnon conspiracy theory movement.
Well, in that case I'm sure the execution was completely justified.
