1 The U.S. Capitol police is claiming that it's use-of-force policy allows USCP officers to use deadly force against subjects even when
a) they do not see the person's hands, much less a weapon and
b) do not witness the person committing any deadly acts. Furthermore, they would have us believe that they train their officers accordingly.
2) Chilling as that purportedly official position is in its own right, it's even more amazing to consider the implication: On Jan 6 2021, every single USCP officer, save one, ignored their training and disregarded their own agency's official rules for using deadly force. Ashli Babbitt was not the only person who climbed through the only broken window/door in the U.S. Capitol that day, and Lt. Byrd was not the only armed officer on scene.
3) Yet, according to their own statement, the Capitol Police are alleging that Byrd's actions were lawful according to a policy that — evidently — only Lt. Michael Byrd had read, understood, and trained for. Either Byrd was right to shoot Babbitt, or every other USCP officer was right to not use their weapons against unarmed rioters. Both things cannot be true. Federal agents like me need clarity when it comes to making life—or—death decisions involving firearms. Is the new normal that we can shoot empty—handed threats who aren't trying to kill someone?
4) This is not conjecture, either. In Lt. Byrd's own words, he admits that he "could not fully see [Babbitt's] hands or what the intentions are (sic)." There is no misunderstanding here: law enforcement doesn't get to assume people are armed until they prove otherwise. Again, NBC's Lester Holt asked Byrd if the fact that he didn't know if Babbitt was armed affected his decision to shoot, and Byrd said "It did not." If Byrd acted lawfully, then the USCP is claiming this conduct is the law of the land. That is outrageous.
5) You will not find a police or law enforcement agency anywhere in the country that subscribes to this dangerously reckless ruleset. Quite the opposite, in fact: reputable organizations would fire officers and agents who killed subjects in situations where they can't articulate the means/opportunity/intent necessary to justify deadly force. Byrd admitted he was afraid, but he did not share why or what about Ashli Babbitt in particular scared him.
6) To merely call her a "threat" without a reasonable explanation doesn't pass legal muster, and it feeds the sense that Byrd acted out of panic instead of reason. But rather than hold Byrd accountable for his wrongful and negligent action, the USCP simply lowered their official standards to a point that conveniently excuses it. https://twitter.com/ForAshli/status/1431622837660438529?s=20

Two Lieutenant Colonels who spoke out against their chain of command.
One was lionized by the press and protected by the intelligence community.
The other was fired within 24 hours.

I am heartbroken as I am certain many across America are, especially the family members of these beautiful young men and women who willingly serve others and stand so bravely and courageously in harm’s way to guard against the enemies of America and freedom loving people here at home and around the world. The pride on this great young Marine’s face (Dylan Merola) beams so brightly. It is He that gives us strength, because it is through His sacrifice that we are able to live in freedom. God bless Dylan, God bless all who’s lives were lost so abruptly and tragically, May God bless and protect those wounded and those still serving in harm’s way and may God bless America.
