The five individuals who died in the vicinity of the Capitol building on January 6th included U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, pictured above.  It was initially reported that Sicknick was injured while “while physically engaging with protesters” attempting to gain entrance to the Capitol.  Supposedly,  he had been hit in the head by a fire extinguisher, causing a fatal injury which led to his death.

However, Officer Sicknick apparently called a family member several hours after the “riot” ended and only mentioned being twice hit with pepper spray, saying nothing about being assaulted in any other way.   After his death, his body was quickly cremated, so unless an independent autopsy was performed, we don’t know what the real cause of death was. Even if such an autopsy indeed occurred, his cremation prevented any possibility of the cause of death being confirmed by other sources.   Does that not seem a bit odd?

Of the other four deaths, only two were indeed caused by violent acts.  Roseanne Boyland, 34, was apparently trampled to death by the mob as rioters stormed into the building.  Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, 35, was shot and killed by a Capitol Police Lieutenant as she tried to climb through a broken window into the House chambers.   She was unarmed at the time.

The other two fatalities, Benjamin Philips, 50, and Kevin Greeson, 55, died of a stroke and a heart attack, respectively.

So, like so many things which have come from the media at the behest of the Democratic Party, the narrative is false.  Only two of the five died violently, and one of those at the hand of the police, in a fashion that if it had been a minority BLM “protester” last summer, the left would be calling for his head on a pike.   Instead, he is being lauded as a hero. What is “heroic” about the shooting of an unarmed woman?

When the truth finally comes out about the breaching of the Capitol, it will be clear that it was planned in advance, had many BLM and Antifa members, posing as Trump supporters, as part of the mob, and was in no way the result of Trumps speech to his supporters in the “Stop the Steal” rally.
