A U.S. Capitol Police officer has died following injuries suffered in the violent siege on the building Wednesday, according to a press release from the department.
The death is the fifth connected to the riots, which saw swarms of pro-Donald Trump protesters overwhelm police barricades, surge into the Capitol and force lawmakers to go into hiding.
The officer, identified as Brian D. Sicknick, died at 9:30 p.m. Thursday, police said.
"He returned to his division office and collapsed. He was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The death of Officer Sicknick will be investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Branch, the USCP, and our federal partners."

The police opened the Barrycades. They waved the horde into the building. Antifa has been IDed among those present.
Or Covid.
US Capitol Police spox: “Media reports regarding the death of a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer are not accurate. Although some officers were injured and hospitalized yesterday, no USCP officers have passed away.”
He had a stoke, he wasn’t shot or beaten like the media wanted people to believe.
Recall in Charlottesville where people trying to defend statues caused a helicopter to crash.
ABCDisney is fake news
A police spokesman was actually asked if the stroke and being hit with the fire extinguisher were connected and he said, simply, “No.”
“He had a stroke apparently.”

Antifa broke windows and forced the doors open so its ok to go in right?
Is he really dead this time? or do we need the “Bring out yer dead” memeers to show up?
The Gaslight Media will NEVER say those words...
i wouldn’t say “no” just yet...the stories on what happened to this guy are all over the place; stroke, hit by fire extinguisher, dead, not dead...
Aren’t fire extinguishers an Antifa MO?
He is dead after physically engaging with protestors..but collapsed at a later time
They will, no doubt, be looking at the Felony Murder rule. Whether it will stick will be fact dependent.

Ask Time-Lies-Warner. They had a photog reporter embedded in the crowd that invaded the building.
As has been said, NOW suddenly the leftist media outlets care about police? During the year or more of blm/antifa riots across the nation that saw widespread destruction violence on police was actually encouraged.
