From my post in another thread:
The circumstances, as we are being told, surrounding “slain” Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick’s death, are troubling to me as a former homicide detective.
We are being spoon-fed the narrative that “Sicknick was killed at the Capitol riot on Jan. 6 after he was hit in the head with a fire hydrant during the attack. He had made it back from the riot to his department’s headquarters when he had a seizure in front of his fellow officers.”
After discounting the falsehood of being “hit in the head with a fire hydrant”, there has been no evidence released to the public that would support the officer as being “slain”, which infers that his death was a homicide.
There have been many unfortunate incidents where police/fire/EMT’s (1st Responders) have responded to incidents, and for various reasons, died well after the incident was over. A good number of these deaths have been ruled as “In the Line of Duty”. For instance, a police officer pulls a large person out from underneath a vehicle after a car crash and then dies of a heart attack. Or, after a foot-chase, an officer doesn’t feel well and later dies of a heart attack or stroke at home after his shift is over. When there is an injury suffered due to negligence or an unlawful act, the death can be ruled as a homicide if the evidence is sufficient to support that the negligence or unlawful act was the proximate cause of the officer’s death. “But for the officer being struck on the head with a fire extinguisher, the grievous bodily injures/death would not have happened”.
In the unfortunate case of Officer Sicknick, we do not know what actually transpired, or if there was any preexisting medical condition he suffered from that was the actual cause of his death. From the reports I have read, there does not seem to be much support for the media-driven lie that he was “slain”, which would be ruled as a homicide by the medical examiner.
Early on, before the official narrative got going, it was said that he had died of a stroke the next day. It was the result of a long-existing medical condition (I assume probably very high blood pressure). When the police spokesman announced it, he was asked if it had anything to do with the events of the day before, and he said, simply, “No.” (I am sure that if it was high blood pressure, stress and anxiety may have had something to do with it, but even that occurred the next day.)
Officer Sicknick apparently left the commotion complaining that he had gotten mace or pepper spray in his eyes, and never mentioned anything about being hit with a fire extinguisher. There seems to have been a brawl somewhere between police and somebody (Antifa? Protesters?) that involved a fire extinguisher, and in one case an empty fire extinguisher was tossed into the crowd of both police and civilians below the terrace, but apparently Officer Sicknick wasn’t involved in either of these.
These are all things that were reported in the first day or so, along with reporting on the other deaths - 1 heart attack, one stroke and a woman who died of breathing difficulties, probably an asthma attack. Of course, these people are also being described as “slain” or “murdered,” even though for a crowd of some 500,000, deaths from these causes are almost to be expected. But now the Dem narrative of “murder” has been established, while in reality the only person who was actually murdered was Ashli Babbit, the woman who jumped into the window inside the building.
This, at any rate, is what I remember from the initial reporting.
I thought the big funeral and description of the poor man as “slain” showed such a level of cynical manipulation that it was a new low even for the Dems.
Or, after a foot-chase, an officer doesn’t feel well and later dies of a heart attack or stroke at home after his shift is over.
Happened to my dad. He survived the attack but needed implants and bypasses. Disabled off job and had to fight to have it ruled job connected. Dr Efler of Cleveland Clinic did his surgery. Only good news was it delayed my departure to Vietnam to MACV-Phoenix. Orders cancelled.
The only people who were "slain" that day died directly or indirectly as a result of the actions of the incompetent Capitol police.
Nobody, not a single person, was killed by the protestors.
True story.
