In other J6 news the man who killed Ashlii Babbitt - Officer Michael J. Byrd - had almost been fired from the force for ditching his duties to play cards in a cloakroom then lying about it to Internal Affairs.
He had been assigned to Speaker Dennis Hastert at the time. I might add he was sitting in the Speaker's Office and eating and drinking a soda; the J6ers who went into Pelosi's office were nearly drawn and quartered for it.
Byrd also once left his sidearm in a restroom at the Capitol Visitor's Center, another act that usually leads to firing. It was found by another officer.
He discharged his weapon at a fleeing vehicle then lied to IAD about it, claiming it was coming straight at him. Byrd was disciplined for violating use of force and use of weapons policies by discharging his service weapon in a "careless and imprudent manner.”
He was also disciplined for an incident at a high school football game where he got into it with a local cop and called him a "piece of "shit" and "racist".
Yet Byrd was promoted to Captain after all of this.
Oh, and Byrd has had a slew of financial problems, such as bankruptcies and a tax-lien judgment of $56,366 against him by the Federal government (I wonder; were they garnishing his pay?)
If he hadn't been black he'd have been toast.
Here's the kicker:
Byrd was given $36,000 in unrestricted funds as a "retention bonus” in 2021, while other Capitol Police officers received around $3,000 each. Byrd was reimbursed for more than $21,000 in security upgrades for his personal residence in Prince George’s County.
Capitol Police paid to house Byrd at the Joint Base Andrews military facility from July 2021 until late January 2022 at a cost of more than $35,000, according to records obtained by Judicial Watch Inc. When he left the base for any reason, Byrd was provided with a Capitol Police dignitary protection detail, which a source told Blaze News could easily cost $425 per hour. "
So Byrd was bribed and kept isolated so he couldn't blow this for the Democrats!
Nancy Pelosi is on record as saying she wanted to "take care of him" for his service to The Party, and bumping him up to several great jobs were discussed. They also waived Byrd's fitness requirements so he could continue with his job and keep his firearm (if he didn't lose it).
Byrd is an example of how the filth of politics bespoils everything, especially in Washington.
This guy probably should be in jail for reckless homicide at a minimum. Manslaughter probably. But he has no business being a captain in the Capitol Police. That was purely to keep him quiet and rub our collective noses in it.
