One of the most important points that is commonly raised about the January 6 weirdness at the Capitol is that a police officer was murdered, bashed in the head with a fire extinguisher by a Trump supporter.
Yeah, about that, CNN has some relevant info:
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.
Basically, Officer Sicknick fell ill later that day and died the next. The cause, at least publicly, remains unknown… as does the identity of the Capitol police officer who summarily executed Ashli Babbit for trespassing. In contrast, the police officers who were involved with the death of George Floyd were identified publicly and fired inside of a day. The investigative journalism world would seem to have some opportunities here for breaking a few stories.
