But there is no evidence if that. No film, no suspect, no autopsy, no witness. No official report.
Completely a rumor that started early, and stuck because it is too good to check.
I think that officer’s death is now being reported as a stroke, but caused by “Trump Supporters”. Why isn’t it COVID?
There was a press interview when the police released the news of his death, and one of the reporters asked if being hit on the head (apparently a glancing blow off the helmet from a thrown fire extinguisher) was connected to his death and the police spokesman said, “No.”.
Betcha that has gone down the memory hole.
