Fallen Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick’s remains arrived at the US Capitol Tuesday night, where he laid in honor after being killed in the violent insurrection that claimed his life on Jan.6

I read somewhere that he was never actually hit in the head with the extinguisher and that is not what he died from.
In any case the democrats a loving making this political.
The officer does not belong at the capitol. Also wasn’t he a trump supporter?
He was hit on the head with a fire extinguisher while physically engaging with rioters, according to anonymous police sources.
He initially texted his brother later that night, reporting that he had been twice attacked with pepper spray and was "in good shape".
He later collapsed at the Capitol, and was resuscitated by CPR.
By the following day, he had experienced a stroke and had a blood-clot, and was surviving on a ventilator.
Premature reports of his death spread among law enforcement circles, which led to confusion among journalists and Sicknick's family until Capitol police denied the rumors an hour later.
Capitol police later reported that Sicknick had died around 9:30 pm on January 7. Family members had not yet arrived at the hospital when he died."
What I found interesting is that his texts to his brother saying he was "in good shape" only mentioned pepper spray, not a fire extinguisher. Also, the info that he was killed by a fire extinguisher comes only from "anonymous police sources". Interesting.
In the days immediately after, I remember viral videos of an empty fire extinguisher hitting 3 DC policemen - 2 with helmets on and 1 with his helmet off - and the accompanying claims were that this showed the moment when Officer Sicknick received a mortal injury. But later, I saw several places report that Sicknick was actually *not* one of the DC policemen shown in that video. This makes me wonder whether the anonymous police source saw that video and the accompanying claim very early on before it was debunked, and passed it on to a reporter.
It's hard to believe that if the DC Police had video of this happening (bodycam? security cams?), or a firsthand witness among other policemen who saw it, why aren't they publicizing that? Or if he later mentioned to fellow cops back at HQ that he'd been hit on the head with the extinguisher, what is preventing that info from coming out?
Is it possible for a person to completely dismiss the fact that they've sustained a hit to the head so hard that it causes a blood clot, and instead only complain about pepper spray to others afterwards?
Also, there was no evidence he was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher.
Also: Notice that it was Anonymous Police Sources within the DC Police who claimed he was hit by a fire extinguisher, at around the same time that it was Anonymous Police Sources within the DC Police who claimed he’d died the previous day.
As the officer is cremated, we will have to rely on the autopsy report for the cause of death. The New York Times reported that he had been hit in the head, claiming to have had two witnesses. Presumably, witnesses plus autopsy report will be sufficient for an indictment. But, I am not aware that there has been an indictment.
According to the Wikipedia entry, the officer collapsed some time after the incident, having texted his brother that he was attacked with pepper spray and was doing fine. After he collapsed, he was resuscitated and brought to the hospital, but in spite of the efforts to save him, died.
The man died following a confrontation with rioters in which he was assaulted. Perhaps his death was due to a heart attack brought on by the assault, the trauma of the rioting, the press of the crowd, and so forth, as appears to have been the case with three of the four other people who died. I believe it’s been reported the officer was a Trump supporter. Whether that is true of not, he was a law enforcement officer and died in the line of duty.
Line of duty deaths almost doubled last year. It is good that the Democrats acknowledge one of them. We should acknowledge all of them.

Anybody besides me see the theatre here.
Cop dies Jan 6
Cop is put on ice for 27 days at a funeral home.
Cop is put on national display Feb 3
Senate begins impeachment trial.
Hollywood and DC are working overtime.
Yeah, but an "anonymous (DC) police source" claims he was, at roughly the same time that anonymous DC police sources claimed that he died on Jan 6.
Now, of course the MSM will grudgingly admit that his Jan 6 death was just an untrue "rumor" ... because the entire hospital staff and the fellow cops at his bedside and the death certificate are proof it was untrue.
But the MSM will *not* hold that shameful falsehood against the anonymous sources. Oh no, no! They fully believe whichever anonymous DC Police source says a fire extinguisher was a murder weapon. They can immediately sense that this is a "fact" - not a "rumor" - regardless of the track record of the source(s).
The Media Fix is in: Anyone who now says he might *not* have been hit with the extinguisher is now labeled as "Making a Baseless Claim".
The image of this, as him being murdered, will be cemented into history, with details of how it happened explained as by fire extinguisher, and all later records ignored.
Perhaps, a year from now, autopsy results will be released, but I doubt it.
The records of his death will be made as secret as those of JFK.
A blood clot leading to a stroke could have been caused by nearly anything, so simply jostlying with some people could be claimed to be the injury that lead to his death.
Placing his death at the hands of rioters is of enormous value to the left and the administration. They crave this "victim" status to offset the death of Ashli.
I can't believe that a fire extinguisher hitting his head is not recorded SOMEwhere in a video.
... that is, assuming it really happened.
The problem is, we know the administration lies routinely.
We know the administration in charge of the Capitol police has enormous incentives to lie in this case.
We know any whistleblower would be destroyed.
So, without actual evidence, there will always be enormous doubt.
I was just going to say the same thing. From Time of death to funeral and burial, Is usually within a week and a half to two weeks at most, not almost our entire month. The few exceptions to that in my experience have been when the deceased Died in the middle of winter and was cremated but the burial was postponed until warmer weather in the spring.
I’ve read that too, not sure exactly what to believe yet. If he indeed was, why have we not seen security or body camera footage released or even mentioned to prove that. Also, using things like fire extinguishers as weapons has been a antifa tactic for years now, not a Trump supporter tactic. Something does not add up.
He had been cremated and his ashes were at the capital which I thought was weird!!!
Also, other than this officer, supposedly (but highly questionable) given a deadly blow by a fire extinguisher, did anyone else sustain a deliberate attack with a deadly instrument in the process of using force to restrain the trespassers?
Sounds like he died off duty.
Whole thing is lying propaganda.
