Media reports have been conflicting — unnamed law enforcement sources initially told outlets Sicknick was bludgeoned in the head by a fire extinguisher, while others speaking on condition of anonymity countered those claims, arguing there was no immediate evidence showing that Sicknick suffered any blunt force trauma.
As the autopsy results remain pending, investigators are also weighing the possibility that Sicknick could have died from exposure to a chemical irritant, such as bear mace or pepper spray. It also remains unclear whether Sicknick had any pre-existing conditions.
...In the only public statement issued by U.S. Capitol Police describing the circumstances surrounding his death, the department said Sicknick "passed away due to injuries sustained while on-duty." He died at the hospital at approximately 9:30 p.m. the evening of Jan. 7.
Sicknick "was responding to the riots" on Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol and "was injured while physically engaging with protesters," the statement said. "He returned to his division office and collapsed. He was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries."
His eldest brother, Ken Sicknick, told ProPublica in an interview published Jan. 8 that Brian Sicknick had texted him on the night on Jan. 6 to tell him he had been pepper-sprayed but felt fine. He told the outlet his brother was dead by the next night, after suffering a stroke.
"He texted me last night and said, ‘I got pepper-sprayed twice,’ and he was in good shape," Ken Sicknick told the outlet over the phone, as the family drove toward Washington, D.C., from New Jersey. "Apparently he collapsed in the Capitol and they resuscitated him using CPR."
The family later received word that Brian Sicknick had a blood clot and had had a stroke and a ventilator was keeping him alive, Ken Sicknick told ProPublica. Authorities have not verified his account, and Ken Sicknick has not returned a Fox News request for comment.
Well, it took circumnavigating a lot of evasiveness by the police department, by the coroner's office, and of the reluctance of the liberal media to report it, but finally, over a month later, there it is.
They wanted to keep the deceitful liberal narrative alive, of "five people KILLED in Capitol insurrection", and "Trump's incitement caused his white supremacist racist supporters to KILL a police officer".
But let me peel away the sedimentary layers of Democrat and liberal media deception.
1) The only person KILLED was Ashli Babbitt by police, and the other four, now including officer Sicknick, died of either heart attacks or strokes. **NONE** of the deaths that day were a result of Trump supporter violence.
2) There are a number of groups identified as having pre-planned and orchestrated the violence, well in advance of the Jan 6th rally. So it clearly was not "incited" by Trump. Pre-planned means it was not incited. And these groups were BLM (leftist infiltrators pretending to be Trump supporters), the Boogaloo movement (BLM-connected leftist/anarchist infiltrators), Oath Keepers (a right wing militia, infiltrators), and Proud Boys (possibly right wing, but basically a group who like to start fights) , all of whom are separate groups from Trump supporters, each with a long history of violence, who hid among the Trump supporters, to hijack the rally for their own ADVANCE PLANNED purpose.
3) Trump supporters are not "white supremacist". Donald Trump has a Jewish son in law Jared Kushner, his daughter Ivanka has converted to Judaism, his grandchildren are Jewish, he has done more than any president before him to advance the friendship and security of Israel. Against the selective editing of the liberal media, Trump has condemned white supremacists and their violence on many occasions, including during the Charlottesville riots in 2017. Trump's policies as president have benefitted blacks, hispanics and asians disproportionately more than any other group, with the lowest unemployment recorded, highest rise in wages, and highest rise in home ownership for these demographic groups ever recorded.
