Will NBC actually show the murderer, Michael LeRoy Byrd, or will he be camouflage in shadow?

[Kamaji]

Will actual hard, probing questions be asked, or just softballs intended to provide a self-serving, exculpatory public narrative for the murderer?

[skeeter]

I will not be able to bear listening to this cowardly murdering sack of sh*t express with profound sadness how he was forced to use lethal force to eliminate an imminent threat to the safety of elected representatives.

Especially knowing leftists across the nation will quietly get off on hearing details of how a Trump supporter was shot.

[Wingnut]

Lester Holt.  Hard hitting non partisan journalist.

...the officer will share his perspective on the events ...

In other words, it'll be an epic self-serving lie-a-thon intended to develop a public narrative that exculpates him entirely and places all of the blame on Ms. Babbit herself, and on President Trump.

Will NBC paint the murderer as a hero?

Will the Sun rise in the East, and set in the West?  And rise in the East again in a 24-hour cycle?

As bad as things are going on right now internationally, its shame we are having this example of miscarriage of justice and extreme double standards smeared in our faces.

[rustynail]

Will he kiss his pistol?

[LMAO]

The defense of Babbitt by some sounds very similar to BLM activists defending a thug shot by police

Reality is we the public know little about this case to come to a conclusion

Except Babitt was a veteran who honorably served.
Floyd was a criminal thug who had 5 prior felonies, and was hopped up on a probable lethal dose of fentanyl

Babitt was shot in cold blood
The circumstance of Floyd's death are still in question IMO

Babbitt died smeared by the MSM as a terrorist in the January 6th.
Floyd?-  Pretty much sainted.

Policeman?- 
7  months later the shooter hasn't even been ID'ed, and has recently offically been cleared
Chauvin was roasted.

So saying the defenses are similar, might be a tad inaccurate, wouldn't you think?

I’m not just making the comparison to G Floyd. A more accurate comparison would be the case of Breanna(sp)Taylor

We don’t have enough information in the Babbitt case to come to the conclusion that the Capitol cop acted with malice

Although we are in agreement that the Capitol cop is getting a much different treatment from the press than any inner city cop in a similar situation

[Wingnut]

Will he kiss his pistol?

Better question...will Lester kiss his ass.

Meaning absolutely nothing.

We know Babbitt was unarmed. We know she wasn't a physical threat to anyone. We know there were police behind and in front of her. We know she was intentionally shot dead. We know the capitol hill police themselves conducted the investigation and - surprise - exonerated the capitol hill 'officer' who pulled the trigger.

You can muse on about what we do not know but thats plenty of information for most of us to draw a conclusion.

BS! 100% USDA Choice!

[EdinVA]

This won't happen.
The murderer can still be sued by the family for wrongful death so the longer he stays unknown the better off he is unless the media is paying him a ton of money...

[skeeter]

BS! 100% USDA Choice!

Two people need to be arrested and tried - the coward who pulled the trigger and the fascist who gave orders to shoot anyone who breached a certain point.

Clearly the officer was too stupid - or too full of hate - to use his discretion and simply step forward and arrest the 100 lb unarmed woman after she got through the window, and waited for her to get to a certain point before aiming at her head and pulling the trigger.

I refuse to listen as the bastard attempts to flim flam the public by crying tears while he justifies his cowardly act.

This murder was caught on video. She was unarmed and presenting no threat to anyone when the officer raised his gun and fired.

  How much more does one need to know?

Maybe he was scairt because he'd watched too many movies where the 95 pound woman beat the colonic contents out of some hulk with an 18 inch neck.

"I was very afraid", officer tells Lester Holt about Jan 6

He says officers barricading door were last line of defense

[mountaineer]

Byrd claimed he was courageous that day. Tucker played clips of the interview tonight and then spoke to her husband. It was brutal to see his anger and grief.
