Kill a Trump supporter; get a promotion

Watching Democrats ride roughshod over decency, morality, and justice, one must hope that Prager is right that there is a larger justice, one bigger than anything people can bring to bear.

 Andrea Widburg- American Thinker   On January 6, 2021, two people were killed in the Capitol, neither of whom was Officer Brian Sicknick. One was Rosanne Boyland, who was crushed to death as unidentified police dumped protesters on top of her. The other was Ashli Babbitt, a small, unarmed woman who was shot to death in cold blood by Lieutenant Michael Byrd when she started to squeeze her way through a broken interior window. Byrd was not charged. Now, he’s getting promoted. The message is clear: In the Swamp that is D.C., which is the heart of the Deep State, you’re either with them or against them.

Roll Call reports:

The Capitol Police are poised to promote a lieutenant who shot and killed a pro-Trump rioter on Jan. 6, 2021, as well as an officer who vividly testified before a House select committee about the violence she encountered during that attack.

Michael Byrd, who fatally shot rioter Ashli Babbitt as she tried to break into the Speaker’s Lobby, will be promoted to captain, according to an internal announcement reviewed by CQ Roll Call that lists more than 30 employees moving up the ranks on Sunday.

"Because Roll Call works for the swamp, it smears Babbitt as a “follower of the unfounded far-right, pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory,” as if that judgment somehow justified Byrd shooting her to death. Of course, there was no internal investigation. And you know that, if Byrd had been white and Babbitt a black BLM supporter, Byrd would be rotting in prison right now." . . .
