CNN report finds deceased Capitol Police officer didn't suffer blunt force trauma, wasn't struck by fire extinguisher
The Blaze ^ | February 6, 2021 | Paul Sacca

There is an important detail regarding the Capitol riots that is buried in the eighth paragraph of a CNN article with the headline: "Investigators struggle to build murder case in death of US Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick."

The article states that U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died during the storming of the U.S. Capitol building, was not killed by blunt force trauma. This is a contradiction of previous reporting by various media outlets that said the Capitol Police officer was killed by being struck in the head with a fire extinguisher.

From the CNN article:

According to one law enforcement official, medical examiners did not find signs that the officer sustained any blunt force trauma, so investigators believe that early reports that he was fatally struck by a fire extinguisher are not true. The report notes that Sicknick's cause of death is still not known, adding that the "findings from a medical examiner's review have not yet been released and authorities have not made any announcements about that ongoing process."

Investigators are reportedly looking into the possibility that Sicknick became violently ill after coming in contact with a chemical irritant such as pepper spray or bear spray. Medical examiners are also trying to determine if Sicknick possibly had a preexisting medical condition that negatively affected him during the Capitol riots on Jan. 6.

The report revealed that authorities are "struggling to build a federal murder case" in Sicknick's death because there is a "lack of evidence that could prove someone caused his death."

Law enforcement is said to have "reviewed video and photographs that show Sicknick engaging with rioters amid the siege but have yet to identify a moment in which he suffered his fatal injuries."

They got there shock value out of it already. We won’t hear any more about him. Just like the girl shot by “the cops”.

I recall reading an article a day or two after the riot that said that he had died of a heart attack.

But I kept reading there after that he had been hit with a fire extinguisher. I thought the fix is in, they are going to paint the Republican, mostly peaceful protesters, as violent criminals just to pump up their campaign to burn Trump down.

I wish they would spend as much time struggling to build a case in the murder of Ashli Babbitt.

The sound of Crickets. Cockroaches.

“Too late for the Left to walk back a lie.”


They won’t walk it back. They’ll keep telling the lie. So, we know for sure that one woman was shot to death by a person photographed but oddly not identified. How did others come to die in what the press labels the “deadly insurrection”?

It doesn’t matter what the truth is, the cabal already have their official version of the matter and that’s what they’ll stick with.

I feel sorry for the guy. He sounds like he was a Trump supporter. What are the creepy feds going to do if it turns out that even the pepper spray was discharged by a fellow LEO?

I read that he had died of a stroke the day after. He left the site on his own, saying he had gotten mace or some kind of spray in his eyes.

When the police spokesman came out the day after to announce his death, reporters asked him if the death was the result of the commotion, and the spokesman said, “No.”

The only person who died as a direct result of the events was Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed woman who was killed either by law enforcement or an armed Capitol civilian.

They spent weeks citing the people who died in the helicopter crash as being “Charlottesville protest deaths”

The thing that triggered the Floyd riots was the MSM reporting of the Floyd demise and spiking the facts behind his condition at the time. Because of that getting those facts out were desperately needed and wasn’t done.

Looks as though three police were hit in the head. Don’t know who. Hopefully, the perpetrator will be identified. Throwing objects like fire extinguishers is an antifa tactic. (Not saying the perpetrator was antifa. Only, that it’s an antifa tactic.)

At a later time an retired fire fighter was arrested, having been identified by an associate. (Does this explain his use of a fire extinguisher?) This article says the fellow was charged with felony assault on three police officers.

The one police officer struck in the head was examined, and released to resume normal duties. This police officer was not the one who died at the hospital.
