I want to use DU to personally thank Lt. Michael Byrd.

[Lochloosa]

Very few people know it, but my Stepbrother is a US Congressman and was on the other side of that door. I truly feel that Lt. Michael Byrd saved his life and many others.

In my brothers position, I'm sure he would have been on the "target" list and would not have survived without the actions of Lt. Byrd.

From the bottom of my heart, Thank You Lt. Byrd !

[viva la]

1. It was brave for Lt Byrd to do that interview

I hope the horrible vicious Trump doesn't continue making a target of him with the haters.

2. Lt Michael Byrd is a hero

His actions protected others and most likely saved lives. His actions have changed his life, but his bravery helped save American Democracy!

Thank you Lt Byrd.

5. Thank you Lt. Byrd!

You saved our democracy from traitors.

[JaneQPublic]

6. Maybe send thanks to him at USCP?

No doubt his personal email, etc. is not public, especially since so many people are making death threats against him.

But on the US Capitol Police website, they do have a general email address:

Perhaps they will forward your message to Lt. Byrd.

13. Great Idea. Thanks,

7. Lt. Michael Byrd did his job because those people who were trying to break down that door ....

... wanted to kill Nancy Pelosi, Mike Pence, other "lib-tard" congresspersons and violently overthrow
our democracy because their brains had been cooked into mush by Fox, Info-Wars, Russian disinformation,
and other crap pushers.

Thank you Lt. Michael Byrd and you should great restraint in not shooting more.

[MyOwnPeace]

15. Well stated, Botany, but......

your list of "Cookers" should have begun with the name Donald J. Trump.....

[Botany]

16. Trump was installed by Putin to cause division and political unrest in America and to that end .....

.... Vlad has been wildly successful however even though I think Trump's 2016 "win" was a
function of a massive rat fucking those people who voted for Trump in 2016, 202o, and still
support him already had their brains cooked as a result of Reagan getting rid of the fairness
doctrine because for the past 2.5 generations we have had millions bathed in total misinformation.

10. A true thank you to Mr. Byrd. You, sir, are a true hero.

[Aristus]

11. It's a rather bitter irony that the "Blue Lives Matter" crowd is now going to come gunning for him.

Psychopaths...

[Politicub]

12. Lt. Byrd is a national hero

The seditious mob was literally out for blood, and he saved many lives that day.

[yardwork]

14. As an American citizen, I want to thank Lt. Byrd.

Without his courageous action on January 6, our democracy might have suffered a terrible blow. It is entirely possible that members of Congress could have been harmed.

It's bad enough that the police were harmed, and some lost their lives.

17. My heart fears for the Lt

A Black man shoots a blonde, blue eyed, female white patriot vet. If you do not think the white Nazi websites are putting up rewards, you have been asleep for centuries. Give this hero 50 million dollars, a new identity, and save their lives as heroes. Marginal Trailer Queen, Bang Bang Barbie, Gym Jordon, Hawley and many more are alerting their mob if his daily whereabouts. Christians gonna Christian when black folk get outta line.

May history remember them as heroes who saved our Republic.

[Scottie Mom]

But for him, it could have been much, much worse!

[bdamomma]

21. As he said

he was "doing his job". He was protecting democracy.

[pnwmom]

22. Me, too! Thank you, Officer Byrd!

25. It said this in the article

“ At that time, he said, he did not know that she was unarmed, but there had been reports of shots fired in the Capitol.”

I think he was justified in shooting, because he didn’t know what she had.
