37 years ago today, LAPD Sgt. Al Powell investigated a terrorist attack at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles.
His bravery and dedication was key to foiling a plot to steal over $600 million in bearer bonds, which would have been the largest heist in US history at that time.
Today we honor his bravery.

Soโฆbeat a cop with a flagpole on Jan. 6 and get a pardon. Toss a sandwich at a Kevlar vest and suddenly itโs โlock him upโ? Thatโs what passes for โbacking the blueโ? Please.

If @MarshaBlackburn is pushing a law to make it illegal to name ICE agentsโฆ doesnโt that mean it isnโt currently illegal? So what are she and @AndyOgles investigating Mayor OโConnell for exactly? ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ (Also: if ICE agents are this ashamed, maybe stop?) https://nypost.com/2025/06/04/us-news/sen-marsha-blackburn-unveils-bill-to-shield-law-enforcement-from-doxxing-as-dems-push-to-out-ice-agents/
Outgoing Capitol Police chief blasts reported settlement in Jan. 6 shooting
โI am extremely disappointed and disagree with this settlement,โ Chief Thomas Manger said, noting that a prior DOJ investigation found no wrongdoing by police. โThis settlement sends a chilling message to law enforcement nationwide, especially to those with a protective mission like ours.โ
The Washington Post reported Monday that Justice Department attorneys and Babbittโs family had reached a settlement.
The Justice Department closed its investigation into the officer, U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, in April 2021, and an internal Capitol Police investigation also cleared him of wrongdoing.
