Internal probe clears Capitol Police officer who shot Ashli Babbitt: report
2021-08-21

[The Hill] Capitol Police have formally exonerated an officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt at the Capitol on Jan. 6 following an internal investigation, NBC News reported.

NBC News obtained an internal memo from Capitol Police officially clearing the officer, who has not been named,
...that’d be Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, who has had other moments of carelessness during his career...
for fatally shooting Babbitt, capping off the investigation.

The commander of the Capitol Police’s Office of Personal Responsibility said in a memo following the officer’s exoneration, "no further action will be taken in this matter," according to NBC News.

Capitol Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.
An 'Internal probe' holds no legal standing, or am I wrong ?

#9  Thought experiment:
Babbitt is black
Byrd is white
What would be the result?

#7  Less than 5% were actually working in any level called a organized manner. Def: Organized manner being 1 or more 2 way radio/cell conversations.

Those were the FBI prevaricators and moles.

#6  If Ashli was part of the 95% then there should at least be a trial. The Minnesota cop and the 3 other officers standing around were arrested and charged before an autopsy was performed for a non-shooting death of a suspect.

BTW: NOT cleared until it is brought to a Grand Jury and Court trial if ordered.

A leaked FBI initial Jan. 6th Report.
(take it with a grain of salt).

Basically says that the FBI initial findings are 95+/- % of the Jan. 6th Congressional Trespassers were just individuals walking around and following few others.

Less than 5% were actually working in any level called a organized manner. Def: Organized manner being 1 or more 2 way radio/cell conversations.

Of that 5%, the most openly destructive and violent are known to have participated in similar Violent Roles during various Anti-Fa riots, involving Gov. & Private property damages and arsons.

In short a know group of Anti-ANYTHING Subversive Radicals that get off on causing Riots, Mayhem and Arsons.

#2  I'm just trying to imagine that would've happened if a group of protesters tried to occupy Knesset.
Or British Parliament. Or Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal.
