Lieut. Michael Byrd, the Capitol police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, is revealing himself and sharing his story for the first time. NBC’s Lester Holt sat down with him exclusively. “I am afraid, because I know there are people who disagree with my actions,” Byrd says. “I know that that day I saved countless lives.”

In February 2019, Mr. Byrd left his loaded gun in a bathroom in the Capitol Visitor Center complex. It was found later that day through a routine security sweep. He had also had his police powers taken away more than once for not completing semi-annual firearms qualification requirements, according to the organization. In another instance, Mr. Byrd’s powers were revoked for a shooting into his moving car as it was being stolen by teenagers. Stray bullets hit the sides of homes in the immediate area, and an investigation into the event determined that his use of force was not justified.

Thing is, nobody ordered to do anything, she was talking to people all around her, there were cops in full tactical gear ALL AROUND HER, nobody thought about shooting her because they're not complete morons, the complete moron is being interviewed in this video after murdering an innocent woman for trespassing, a misdemeanor.
