We all know if it had been the other way, the officer would certainly have been charged.

Because a white officer has never, ever shot a black woman and gotten away with it? Please.

For every office like Chauvin or Noor who were charged with killing a suspect and convicted there are any number who were not charged and who walked. Babbitt's death was wrong. It wasn't justified. But please don't think for a moment that the officer not being charged is surprising.

Why does the capitol city allow for police to be shielded from their actions in this manner?

It's not D.C., it's Congress. They passed the law. Probably because looking into the workings of the Capitol Police might result in information on Congress coming out.

From the article:

“Roberts told Zenger Wednesday night that the shooter was “Lieutenant Michael Leroy Byrd.”

Freepers and the folks that got the vids shown in the article figured it out a good while ago.

Now that that perp has been exonerated, the confirmation comes out.

Guess who controls the capitol police?

Pee-lousey.

Third in line for the presidency.

Hidenbiden is sinking fast, and kammy is incompetent.

“ Lieutenant Michael Leroy Byrd

You could have put the key bit as the excerpt.”

I had to click on the libtard link and refuse to watch nbc news.

During the all the mess with this administration and the audit info coming out and biden giving up on Americans trapped and maybe killed they will release a official name and put him front and center of the nation. Already bringing race into it. This guy is a sacrifice used right now to distract. I hope he don’t end up being killed by a white person and starting a race war inside the USA. I find the timing suspicious.

Speaker of the house...

Nope. The Capitol Police Board is in charge of the Capitol Police. The members of the board are the Chief of the Capitol Police, who is appointed by the board itself; the Senate Sergeant at Arms, appointed by the Senate Majority Leader; the House Sergeant at Arms, appointed by the Speaker of the House; and the Capitol Architect, appointed by the President. Pelosi's member is one voice in four.

Always interesting to meet another Freeper who is in denial.

Freepers knew it for months. He’s a big BLM advocate and there is no statute of limitations for murder. Hopefully one day the DOJ will change hands and Ashlee Babbit’s murderer will be charged and convicted.

Hmm.... yes but that board is effectively controlled by the Left a combination of Pelosi & Schumer. They have at a minimum 50% control. The executive branch only has the 1/4 voting influence.

So it was the Capitol police board that decided to open offices across the country? Nonsense. Stop trolling. Democrats control the Capitol Police and you know it.

Dems control the budget of the Capitol police. They are in full control. Nothing happens that they don’t want.

Yes, I bet they’ve seen all kinds of things on their nightly rounds.
