US Capitol FLEA Named Who Allegedly Shot Ashlie Babbitt

Interesting article on the alleged US Capitol FLEA who shot Ashli Babbitt.

"Most police departments — including Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police — are required to release an officer’s name within days of a fatal shooting. Not the U.S. Capitol Police, which is controlled by Congress and answers only to Congress. It can keep the public in the dark about the identity and investigation of an officer involved in a shooting indefinitely." - Paul Sperry, RealClearInvestigations

The article continues,

"Now a new name has surfaced in the Babbitt imbroglio — Lt. Michael L. Byrd — and while USCP Communications Director Eva Malecki won’t confirm he is the shooter, in this case she isn’t denying it.

In a little-noticed exchange, Byrd was cited by the acting House sergeant at arms during a brief discussion of the officer who shot Babbitt at a Feb. 25 House hearing. Both C-SPAN and CNN removed his name from transcripts, but CQ Transcripts — which, according to its website, provides “the complete word from Capitol Hill; exactly as it was spoken” — recorded the Capitol official, Timothy Blodgett, referring to the cop as “Officer Byrd.” His name is clearly audible in the videotape of the hearing (see video embed further below)."

Why is there so much mystery around naming this person and holding a grand jury on the shooting? This would happen in your community.

    Funny how the George Floyd incident officers were immediately identified.  Another blazing demonstration of how the propaganda agencies treat deaths caused by law enforcement differently, depending upon the races of the shootees and those that are shot.  Law enforcement personnel wonder why the average American is offering less support for enforcement activities.  So, if a white, unarmed person is shot by cops, it's acceptable and the press has no interest in the case.  However, if a black perpetrator is shot, then it's a worldwide headline for weeks.
