The American service members who gave their lives were heroes. Heroes who have been engaged in a dangerous, selfless mission to save the lives of others. We have a continuing obligation — a sacred obligation — to their families that will last forever.

I was one of those lives saved. I’m eternally grateful to Lt. Mike Byrd. Using his training & experience, he defended dozens of lives on Jan 6. Republican and Democratic lives. He did it for one reason: to honor his oath. Now we must defend him as he weathers attacks from GOP. https://t.co/TF1HfqmDd5

Kill an unarmed white woman get a special interview on NBC News
It’s so weird that when a white cop killed a black man, George Floyd, Tucker backed the cop.

And when a black cop killed a white woman, a Trump supporter, Tucker accuses the cop of ‘executing’ her.
So weird. Can’t quite put my finger on why he’d treat them so differently. https://t.co/O1KwqdkYCj
Imagine a cop shooting an unarmed person in the middle of a BLM riot last year and going on national TV and saying, "I saved countless lives."

You know what the reaction would be, but the goal is to force acceptance of gross double standards. https://t.co/4Fj9dyQpq1
The greatest threat to American lives is the Republican Party. And it’s not even close.

Michael Byrd congratulated himself, saying that he showed "the utmost courage" and "saved countless lives" by killing an unarmed woman. An utterly grotesque interview. Make this a white cop shooting a BLM rioter and the whole country would be on fire right now.
