Early on, before the official narrative got going, it was said that he had died of a stroke the next day. It was the result of a long-existing medical condition (I assume probably very high blood pressure). When the police spokesman announced it, he was asked if it had anything to do with the events of the day before, and he said, simply, “No.” (I am sure that if it was high blood pressure, stress and anxiety may have had something to do with it, but even that occurred the next day.)
Officer Sicknick apparently left the commotion complaining that he had gotten mace or pepper spray in his eyes, and never mentioned anything about being hit with a fire extinguisher. There seems to have been a brawl somewhere between police and somebody (Antifa? Protesters?) that involved a fire extinguisher, and in one case an empty fire extinguisher was tossed into the crowd of both police and civilians below the terrace, but apparently Officer Sicknick wasn’t involved in either of these.
These are all things that were reported in the first day or so, along with reporting on the other deaths - 1 heart attack, one stroke and a woman who died of breathing difficulties, probably an asthma attack. Of course, these people are also being described as “slain” or “murdered,” even though for a crowd of some 500,000, deaths from these causes are almost to be expected. But now the Dem narrative of “murder” has been established, while in reality the only person who was actually murdered was Ashli Babbit, the woman who jumped into the window inside the building.
This, at any rate, is what I remember from the initial reporting.
I thought the big funeral and description of the poor man as “slain” showed such a level of cynical manipulation that it was a new low even for the Dems.
I especially hate the narrative of “armed invasion”. From my knowledge, I know of no protester found with a firearm. One would think if one were invading they would at least have a few ARs and such.
I still say the lady who got shot was selected to be killed. The “agent” sighted a few people and then shot her. She looked really threatening (s).
