The U.S. Capitol police officer who died following the Jan. 6 Capitol invasion is believed to have suffered from a pre-existing medical condition that contributed to his death. This fact complicates the mainstream media’s narrative, which seeks to pin the officer’s death on supposedly violent pro-Trump protesters. The media is trying to forge resentment against Trump and conservative activists in the eyes of Middle America, using the fallen officer as a cause celebre. But even the officer’s family is pleading with the public not to politicize his death as narrative-busting details emerge. Brian Sicknick was reportedly “injured” during the Capitol protest and media and activists ran with the story that Trump protesters hit him with a fire extinguisher. But Propublica reported that Sicknick told his brother he was merely pepper-sprayed. Where did the fire extinguisher story come from? ProPublica also noted Sicknick’s blood clot and stroke and use of a ventilator, according to Western Journal.
“He texted me last night and said, ‘I got pepper-sprayed twice,’ and he was in good shape. Apparently he collapsed in the Capitol and they resuscitated him using CPR,” the officer’s brother Ken Sicknick told ProPublica.
Covfefe Coffee ABC reported that sources said Sicknick died from “medical condition” complications while being unable to retrieve video of anyone hitting him with a fire extinguisher, as noted by Western Journal.
“Many details regarding Wednesday’s events and the direct causes of Brian’s injuries remain unknown and our family asks the public and the press to respect our wishes in not making Brian’s passing a political issue. Please honor Brian’s life and service and respect our privacy while we move forward in doing the same. Brian is a hero and that is what we would like people to remember. Thank you,” stated the Sicknick family statement.

If the medical examiner issues a report that says anything like “cause of death:natural causes” Attorney General Bill Ayers will surely find a new one.
Oh boy. We can’t have this. Gonna have to disappear this ME.
If the were proven, the MSM would never change the narrative.
Concurs with the statement made by his family.
Figured when we just heard repetition of the narrative for a week with no details.
“Sources said”
Anything more than that?
Sounds like he should not have been on duty period.
You mean to tell me that the Media-Dem Party actually rushed to judgment without waiting to see what the actual facts are? Sort of like all “hate-crime” hoaxes, Russian Collusion, Ukrainegate, peetapegate, Charlottesville, and all the other BS that the Media-Dem Party pushed over the last 5 years.
There’s no widespread evidence that he wasn’t hit on the head with a fire extinguisher. We’re now in a fully post-truth world.
I watched the guy lob the fire extinguisher and ASS U ME he got hit. I'm as guilty as the media.
COVID++
Ayers isn’t getting a job is he?
I did see video of a police office being hit by a fire extinguisher. must of been different officer.
No problem though the MARXIST media has their mantra and they are not moving off it.
The Propublica article does not say what this says
