Attorney for Ashli Babbitt Family Releases Scorching Response to Capitol Officer Who Tried to Justify Killing an UNARMED Woman

The officer who shot and killed an UNARMED woman on January 6th as she was trying to crawl through a window spoke out for the first time yesterday (see video below) to say he feels that he was able to “save lives” by killing Ashli Babbitt. It’s hard to believe Michael Byrd is free and is not behind bars for what he did when he shot Ashli.

The attorney for the Ashli Babbitt family just responded to Byrd in a big way:

PRESS RELEASE

Attorney for Babbitt Family, Terry Roberts responds to statements made by Michael Byrd.

Although Byrd said that he followed his police training, that is not the case at all.

Watch the video of Byrd trying to garner sympathy for himself:

Michael Byrd had to have his 15 minutes of f ame, so he decided to come out on NBC News to be interviewed by a very sympathetic Lester Holt. Who is Michael Byrd? He’s the 28-year veteran of the Capitol Police who is the careless murderer of Ashli Babbitt

, who did nothing to deserve to be shot in cold blood for crawling through a window.  She was UNARMED and was with other people who were close by.

PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE ASHLI BABBITT LEGAL FUND

How could this officer think it was necessary to murder a woman like Ashli

? She was not armed and not aggressive, but this is the same inept officer who recklessly left his loaded service weapon in a bathroom in the Capitol in 2019.

Until now, Michael Byrd was in the shadows and was not coming forward. For some crazy reason, he wanted to be interviewed by NBC, perhaps to garner sympathy. He claims he’s been getting death threats. We’re guessing being murdered like Ashli Babbitt is a much worse fate.

Lieutenant Michael Byrd confirms to NBC News that he shot and killed Ashli Babbitt.

Byrd defends his actions by saying, “I know that day I saved countless lives.”

Byrd also credited his training.

Byrd left his gun unattended in the bathroom back in 2019.
