On Monday the Capitol Police released the results of an internal investigation into the death of Military veteran and January 6th U.S. Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt, who was shot by a Capitol Police officer.

According to The Hill

U.S. Capitol Police have formally exonerated an officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6.

“USCP’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) determined the officer’s conduct was lawful and within Department policy, which says an officer may use deadly force only when the officer reasonably believes that action is in the defense of human life, including the officer’s own life, or in the defense of any person in immediate danger of serious physical injury,” Capitol Police said in a statement.

The officer, who remains unidentified, will not face disciplinary action.

Their actions “potentially saved Members and staff from serious injury and possible death from a large crowd of rioters who forced their way into the U.S. Capitol and to the House Chamber where Members and staff were steps away,” Capitol Police said in the release.

The agency continued, “If the doors were breached, the rioters would have immediate access to the House Chambers. The officer’s actions were consistent with the officer’s training and USCP policies and procedures.”

Babbitt was shot outside of the Speaker’s gallery just off the House floor in the Capitol, according to The Hill.

      1. So they don’t even release the name in this report but exonerate the police officer, what if they did that in the Michael Brown or George Floyd situations, the people would still be rioting!

        1. Michael Brown got shot because he did something really stupid, dove into cop car across cops lap trying to take his gun. Clean shoot all the way. And “hands up, don’t shoot” never happened.

      2. A black officer shoots a white conservative, so it’s ok. Just like a muslim somali shot that Austrailian woman in Minneapolis, and it was brushed under the table. White people better wake up and realize that black racist democrats are going to start murdering us in great numbers because it’s been open season declared on us. I will not be stopped by a liberal bullet, i have ammo, protective gear, and determination to liberate America once more from tyranny.

        1. Know who the enemy really is…..Bideni is a CATHOLIC traitor. Everything south of the USA is CATHOLIC and failed forever. Have you ever heard of anything CATHOLIC that is not corrupt? Mafia, Costa Nostra, MS-13, Vatican, the list goes on… CA, NY, NJ, and the list goes on of 100% FAILURE. Vote for ANY CATHOLIC and you vote for a thousand years of 100% FAILURE.

          1. NOPE! You can’t blame the Catholics anymore than any other religion. There are good and bad people of all races and religions. Character is what needs to be judged. Anyone of good character, love of God, family, country, and friends is your best start when judging another person.

          2. Biden, Pelosi, and any other Democrat who claims to be Catholic is a liar. With the Democrats’ current agenda, it is impossible to be both. They will pay the price for their deceit!

          1. The Pope is a communist, I’m feel I’m a devout Catholic and don’t understand how all the Cardinals voted him to be Pope. The man is a Biden in disguise. Like the saying “ Biden is not my President “ The Pope is not my spiritual leader!!’

        2. That’s what our Government is Corrupted we Americans must get out and Vote these Socialist Racist people out of office starting in 2022 and get our Country back.

      3. What do the Marxists call it, “doxxing”? If our crack DoJ can’t find this wrong in any way, I suspect they will reap what they have sown.

    1. I notice you hide behind a screen name. You break the law and present a threat to my life or my family, your gonna get shot too!

      1. Sure an unarmed woman climbing through a broken door who wasn’t even given a warning is a threat to an armed cop to the point he has to shoot her rather than tasing her.

        1. You read my mind. Tell that asshole to get the eff out of this conversation. Probably some damn government spying on us

          1. “Probably some damn government spying on us”
            Doubtful, if it were a fed he/she would be encouraging even more radical comments from those opposed to her murder by the cop.

      2. I haven’t seen a threat toward you YET. But rest assured, if you ANTIFA supporting trash want to try real patriots, bring your A+++ game. You won’t be disappointed in the amount of fight real conservative patriots have when defending our rights and country from liberal excrement like Democrats and supporters alike.

        1. I don’t think you guys really think this through. You and all your guns are nothing compared to the US armed force.

  1. Expose his name. Where’s the transparency? What kind of threat did she present to him? Where’s the justice? If she was BLACK you can bet your ass the outcome would have been different.

  2. …I wonder if he’s connected to Lon Horiuchi, the BATFE thug who executed Vicki Weaver while she was holding her infant son? L.H. got promoted.

    1. For those who may wonder what BATFE stands for: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives or in the vernacular of the street: Bureau of Beer, Butts, Bullets and Bombs.

  3. Of all the people he had to choose from he chose an unarmed woman. That must mean that he is afraid of women.

      1. Lets get this correct true catholics are good christens and good GOD fearing Americans.Biden, pelosi, Antifa are not Catholics . They only claim to be Catholic . You need to do some research before you spout off about things you have very little knowledge of .I am a Veteran , I served this wonderful nation and if needed I will serve again to protect our liberties, our freedoms . as a side note I am also a practicing Catholic living my Faith .

  4. Too bad she wasn’t a big black criminal addict. We saw what happened. Ashley Babbit was the sacrificial lamb for the leftist, evil agenda.

    1. If she was a big black criminal addict she would have attained sainthood ere now…with emotional displays from the piglosi, schummer crowd – who would be blaming the outcome on the ‘white supremacists’ that encouraged the poor soul to do what she did and the “insurrectionists” would be hunted down and charged…oh! forgot that they are doing so anyway……

  5. Can’t believe that an unarmed female military veteran was a real threat to deserve to be shot. Since when does trespassing carry a death sentence?

    1. He and his fellow cowardly villains ARE proud of their achievement…these people “lower dan snake belly”…

  6. So if a cop in other situations shoots an unarmed person without even telling them to stop or give them any kind of warning there is rioting in the streets but this is perfectly OK?

  7. The corrupt FBI STAGED this to make it look like Trump supported it…
    The FBI, CIA, DNC, et al have turned as corrupt as any 3rd world toilet nation…

    We MUST take our country back from the Deep State who currently controls it, along with our elections…

  8. My comment sounded racist – not the case – actually anti racist. I just meant that the leftists would have made her a hero, her family would be rich and the officer who shot her point blank when she obviously wasn’t a threat would be going to prison. Ashli Babbit was murdered

  9. Did we really expect them to admit that one of their officers committed a crime? The crime that isn’t being investigated is the theft of the election! Pelosi now covers-up a murder by capitol police in addition to a fraudulent election.

  10. Even the treasonous fbi just stated it was NOT a riot. And there can be no justification whatsoever for shooting an unarmed citizen exercising a Constitutionally secured right. That capital is We The People’s – NOT the appointed, elected and hired traitors put there to SERVE us. Ashli was murdered in cold blood by a known blm scumbag.

  11. This young lady had no weapon, was not shouting to kill AOC and Pelosi, was a veteran, an adult, an American. What happened to the KILLERS taser, or tear gas, if she was such a threat?
    Her family is going to be very rich and the cop a very poor man in the families Civil Court suit?

    Nancy Pelosi has called on all of those who would prosecute, to back away, BECAUSE the lady killed was not Pelosi’s relative. Wait till we get Pelosi in court , after Pelosi leaves Congress !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. Michael Byrd shot her point blank in the head. Jail him for murder 3rd degree? We want to see all emails and phone conversations between Pelosi and the Capitol Police from Jan 3, 2021 to February 3rd, 2021

  13. Yet if someone climbed through a window in my home and I shot them I would goto jail for murder because the government tells me I could have run away from the attacker. Did anyone really believe this guy would meet justice? We all knew he would get away with murder because the elites are so much more important than you or I.

  14. Really? according to the rules of engagement using a firearm this so called COP? violated the law and should be on trial for MURDER, another coverup by a Federal Agency

  15. What an ABSOLUTE DISGRACE that the punk ass cop that MURDERED ASHLI BABBETT WAS EXONERATED!!! WHY ARE THESE FAILURES IN OUR GOV’T ALLOWED TO CONTINUE!!! I WISH ASHLI BABBETT WAS A WOMEN OF COLOR, I BET THAT PUS SEY COP WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED!!! THE HYPOCRITICAL LIARS OF THE bid en/ har ris COMMUNIST REGIME need to be PROSECUTED FOR AT LEAST DERELICTION OF DUTY!!!

  16. LISTEN UP…ASHLI BABBITTgot NO JUSTICE. DEADLY FORCE was Used on HER. No Difference than the DEADLY FORCE that was used on TRAVIS ALEXANDER. BOTH ASHLI and TRAVIS were SLAUGHTERED. From SamuraiQuee n. 😄😄😄

  17. Ashli Babbit was murdered. The demonrats clearing him does not mean he didn’t murder her; it just means he’s going to get away with murdering her. She was unarmed and posed no threat. The cop will know that for the rest of his miserable life.

  18. This crap does not pass the smell test. Our government seems to be in the business of orchestrating these theatrics to justify Draconian levels of physical security, speech codes and surveillance of the population to uncover ‘extremists’ and ‘terrorists’. (None of our current liberal government officials remember the riots their BLM/ANTIFA and other camp followers conducted, nor will they acknowledge their complicity with such ilk to defund police departments, and release violent convicts among the gentry.) It seems as if hypocrisy is a virtue among these parasites.

  19. I guess it is OK for a cop to murder an unarmed Veteran but not to restrain a career felon like George Floyd. BS

  20. A small girl with her head sticking through was a threat? That’s the same logic they’re using to persecute those who didn’t vote for them. It’s called Facisim

  21. tHIS IS MURDER. sHE HAD NO GUN, DIDN’T CHARGE THE OFFICER, HAD NO STICK OR MACE OR ANYTHING. SHE WAS JUST FOLLOWING THE CROWD. ARE THEY ALLOWED TO SHOOT ALL OF THE CROWD TOO IF THEY WANT TO? WHY HER?

    1. Why, YES they Are. As long as they can Falsely blame it on Donald Trump or Anyone on the Right, and therefore COVER IT UP and be “found” guiltless, it’s All good.
      THEY ARE DEMONS RIGHT OUT O’ HELL

  22. these capital police people that left this murder off all need to be hung. Thwe cop is a coward and should have never allowed to be cop. These people that let him go are complicent in murder and all need to be hung. I hate watching violence but I would watch these a….les hang.

  23. If the shooter was white instead of black they would let him be prosecuted. We know the shooters name, was it not Mike Byrd?

  24. Apparently this cop is a hero so why won’t they announce his name??? He saved the democracy, right? He is a hero cop and he is African American, let’s celebrate his accomplishments, the black man that saved America, by shooting an unarmed woman, hooray! Oh wait, I thought shooting unarmed people when your skin color was different than the officer’s skin color was a bad thing, and add to that a man shooting a woman, isn’t that misogyny? Well, apparently not in this case, so settle down white people, we don’t get to go loot and right, no, our response is supposed to be to forgive the officer and say nothing more about the subject, we aren’t even allowed to ask if the officer who killed the woman was named Lt. Michael Leroy Byrd, or if it was someone else that did the shooting. Not sure why we can’t know the name since there is not a history of white people rioting and looting for this kind of act. Very puzzling.

    1. Had Lincoln not gone to the theater he would not have been shot. And if the ships and personnel were not in Pearl Harbor on Dec 7th, they wouldn’t have been killed and blown up. Mr. Russell you must be amongst the population that believes brown cows give chocolate milk.

  25. we all know his name–a black man murdered a white unarmed woman and
    of course nothing will happen him—Michael Byrd–may you spend eternity
    in hell!!

  26. Way to go open the doors and shoot an unarmed woman. It`s time to start shooting you worthless basta—

  27. This clear evidence that the Feds have the same mentality they did when they killed U.S. citizens at Waco and Ruby Hill. Nothing has changed.

  28. Government employees are used to danger. My god. Where we worked no one could sit on the ground floor due to the possibility of gun shots through windows.
    There were many other restrictions – why are these politicans considered more valuable than your average state employee?
