Officer Byrd violated her civil rights

[Moon]

And not to be crass, but he certainly did defuse the situation.

Everybody calmed right down after that.

..

That’s not crass at all. I think that was the best outcome given the situation, considering it could have been much worse.

 

[Lord Tammerlain]

Well, a lot of the Radical Left still refuse to accept that everyone has civil rights.
Byrd chose to use excessive force over non-deadly actions.
There are conflicting accounts of any verbal warning.
In the video of Bryd shooting the unarmed Babbitt at point blank range there was no verbal warning.

What was she in the process of doing?

Trying to crawl through a broken window to get passed a locked door

 

[Hari Seldon]

nope

Yep

 

[ColdHardTruth]

Michael Byrd should be charged with violating the civil rights of Ashli Babbitt.

The Civil Rights Act of 1871, which is codified as 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 and commonly known as “Section 1983,” prohibits any person from violating constitutional rights while acting “under the color of law.” In other words, it is unlawful for someone acting in an official governmental capacity to deprive another person of their constitutional rights.
Excessive force is a type of police misconduct where the officer’s actions go beyond the bounds of force that a reasonable officer would use under the same circumstances. These cases focus on the objective reasonableness of the force used – not whether the arrestee was injured. Whether the officer’s use of force was excessive depends largely on the circumstances and facts of each specific case. A judge or jury will weigh the available evidence and applicable laws to determine whether or not the police officer applied a reasonable amount of force.

This is all bullshit.

Babbitt was with a group of terrorists who were illegally in the capitol on 1/6/21. She put her own life in danger. He rights were not violated.

 

[WilHaftaWaite]

Of course it did. What was he supposed to do? Wait until the mob poured into the Speaker's Lobby to start shooting?

What was he supposed to do?

stop HER. using the least force necessary

seeing one of their own blocking their entrance might have stopped further incursions.

Backup, as seen in the videos, was already on the way.

She should never have been there.

protestor.

when did she become a terrorist?

when she reached Martyr status?

 

[ColdHardTruth]

She WAS NOT a protestor.

She was TRESPASSING. She was part of the MAGA terrorist group that threatened to hang Mike Pence.

Defending her terrorist ass is a REALLY bad look.

The mob had broken out a couple of windows and began coming though. Byrd had a reasonable fear for his own safety.

only saw one broken window, he one she was coming thru.

 

[ColdHardTruth]

only saw one broken window, he one she was coming thru.

There were multiple broken windows.

 

[VanceMack]

She and others broke down a door panel and traversed a barrier to surge forward. Sucks to be her and sad she put her family through that...and maybe the officer could have used other means. But the shooting was justified based on her actions. Her past history has nothing to do with it.

 

[Jagged]

only saw one broken window, he one she was coming thru.

The mob was angry and violent. They were breaking out the windows to climb over the barricade on the other side of the doors. They had broken out 3 windows and Ashli was the first one to climb up, going through one of them. His fear was reasonable.

 

[Buster Keaton]

That is a dopey statement. If a jury finds that her civil rights were violated then so be it. Do stupid, illegal things win stupid prizes. Seems YOU are the one that wants selective civil rights.

u r the one who is refusing to accept that everyone has the same civil rights

 

[Buster Keaton]

Why? Going to trial requires evidence that Byrd violated her civil rights. You haven't presented any.

Yeah. you know what **** that noise. **** it right in the ear.
She was breaking into the ****ing capital. Womp Womp Womp.
Guess better life choices would have saved her. I care not.

Bad take.
So if Ashli was breaking into my house and I said stop and she kept coming, I what, couldn't shoot her?
No, actually I could. This is no different, at all. Further she knew what she was doing, and did it at her own peril.

 

[Buster Keaton]

You have not been a supporter of civil rights. We know it, you know it, so why this charade?

actually, u r the one who is opposing civil rights, not me

Byrd used excessive force.

opinion not supported by the facts and courts
The DOJ and the Capital Police concluded his actions were lawful and within department policy.

Officer who shot Ashli Babbitt speaks after months in hiding: ‘I saved countless lives’

In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Lt. Michael Byrd said he opened fire only as a “last resort” after the rioters failed to comply with his commands.

He could have warned her.

warnings were given.

He could have pushed her back.

opinion

He could have tasered her.

But he chose to shoot her.

and Babbit chose to try and enter through a broken window even though it was clear the door was barricaded. Babbit chose to participate in the riot.

the corrupt Democrats should not be allowed to investigate themselves
that's not a legitimate investigation
of course they are going clear themselves of any wrongdoing

You really need to provide some sources and evidence to bck up what you state.
For the record I am not a Democrat or liberal. I just disagree with your position.

Michael Byrd should be charged with violating the civil rights of Ashli Babbitt.

Oh just stop. She was attempting to enter a secure area, she was an unknown threat. Should she be a high degree black belt, she could have killed the people behind the other doors.

They took no chances and took her out.

She was warned several time.

She deserved what she got.

Darwin Award winner.

At least a runner up.

Damn, she was stupid.

You do not take chances with an unknown. Doing so will get you killed.

got it

You are for violent riots...got it.
