What the left wants to ignore about slain Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick
New York Post ^ | January 10, 2021 | Matthew Schmitz

SNIP

Yet neither Biden nor Pelosi reckoned with an uncomfortable fact: Sicknick was a Trump supporter himself, as his friend Caroline Behringer announced shortly after his death. Far from sharing the views of the #Resistance, he had written letters to his congressman opposing Trump’s impeachment. Like many Trump supporters who are now being censored, he ­believed that the system is fundamentally rigged in favor of a narrow elite. He had used fiery rhetoric, even called for regime change in America.

The people who claim to honor Sicknick have elided these facts. Acknowledging them would undermine their ­effort to label the 75 million Americans who supported Trump as a domestic threat. Already, unelected Silicon Valley billionaires are using Sicknick’s death to justify censorship of views he expressed. Liberals are cheering the limitation of free speech. Leftists are applauding the exercise of corporate power.

SNIP

What we know of Sicknick’s views tells a different story. Six months after graduating from high school in 1997, he joined the Air National Guard. He was deployed to Saudi Arabia and Kyrgyzstan. A series of letters he later wrote to the editor of his hometown paper give a portrait of his disillusionment with the leaders of the country he served.

No proof he was killed by any Trump supporter. My guess is his cause of death is attributed the same way covid is when convenient.

I’m thinking that’s a different one you’re referring to that’s being reported he committed suicide.

Two LEOs died, right? One had the alleged stroke, and the other committed suicide?

Wrong officer..

The one who allegedly commited suicide has the last name of Liebgold, or some such..

Might have been the one who shot Babbitt?

It would’ve been nice for President Trump to have called the family. Pence did.

Any word on who hit Sicknick with the fire extinguisher? It wouldn’t look good if the killer was an Antifa member.

No Trump supporter would assault an LEO.

There is conflicting reports that he was struck in the head with a fire extinguisher and then after walking back to his unit he collapsed. He supposedly had a blood clot on the brain and kept him on a ventilator until the family showed up and had him removed from the ventilator where he finally past away.. Another story is that he had altercations with Rioters and he got injured then walked back to his unit before collapsing!

Heart attack, at least on this guy.

Would beg the question if he’d done yearly physicals and if his doctor had advised anything. I read a few years ago that police are 30 times more likely to have heart attacks than regular professions.

So, a Policeman gets murdered during a riot, and then four days of official silence?

No videos. No photos. No arrests. No named suspects. No witness corroboration.

I will wait to see some hard evidence before I believe it.
