So why did the Capitol Hill cop come out?

By Monica Showalter

After months of supposed hiding, the black Capitol Hill cop who shot the white, unarmed pro-Trump protestor Ashli Babbitt at the Capitol, Lt. Michael Byrd,  has come out of the woodwork to talk about his shooting, in a softball interview with NBC’s Lester Holt. Why??

Byrd, who makes north of $100,000 a year as a Capitol Police lieutenant, comes off as a dumb goober, a flatfoot in any other police department, a classic Parkinson’s Peter Principle law case of a man over-promoted to his level of incompetence. An incompetent policeman.

We find that, after all, he has a history of mishandling weapons as news media have pointed out, leaving his gun once in a bathroom. And as for shooting dead an unarmed protestor, which normal cops would shrink at, he certainly didn’t. Nor did he signal any human emotion or empathy as most cops would do upon making a miscalculation. Instead, he declared himself a hero and all but demanded applause. Goober…. Made the police look bad… Ashli’s family should walk away with hundreds of millions.

Babbitt should be alive today but for the incompetent goober who shot her.
