New Videos Show How Deceased Capitol Police Officer Was Attacked During Insurrection

The New York Times published several videos on Wednesday morning showing new footage of two rioters’ alleged assault on Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died the day after the attack, during the pro-Trump insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

When the investigation is complete, it will be discovered that Sicknick had recently traveled to the UK. And while he was was there, he was vaccinated with AstraZeneca’s vaccine. :grin:

Authorities are not claiming that was the cause of his death …but hey, we’re just putting it out there because we can’t totally discount that possibility.

Which if the fire extinguisher claim had been true then it would also fit. Just because you don’t kill someone immediately by your direct action, doesn’t mean you can’t be charged with some degree of homicide if they die later from injuries they suffered at your hands.

The key in this case is to connect the injuries to the death. Injured people can die of other things as well. There must be something about his cause of death that is problematic.

Putin:
Really? Tell me more.

Seriously, I do agree. I just find it astounding they have not determined a cause of death yet. Nearly 3 months later??? Don’t they watch CSI in Washington, DC?
.My sense of humor is a little warped this morning.

I suppose a case could be made that due to a chemical irritant in his eyes, Officer Sicknick was unable to defend against or evade the attack that ultimately killed him.

I suspect that they do know. Why it hasn’t been released IDK.

And someone yesterday finally made an observation about why these rioters were allowed to leave DC after the 01/06, the police were overwhelmed. It makes perfect sense to me.

It also made perfect sense to me when Congress banned assault rifles. I can remember the bank robbery in CA back in the early 90s that led to the knowledge that criminals were better armed than the police. But as everything that involves firearms/weapons it becomes an arms race to see who can acquire the most fire power.

A third video published by the Times shows Khater telling Tanios “Gimme me that bear shit” while reaching into his bag, to which Tanios says “Hold on, hold on, not yet, not yet, it’s still early.”
“They just fucking sprayed me,” Khater responds.

So, he elevated his standing and rights to the level of a federal officer empowered to carry out a lawfully assigned duty. And, so, he assigned to himself a right of retaliation.
Something’s not right with this guy. Kinda reminiscent of Reservoir Dogs.
Presumably, it won’t keep him out of the hoosegow.

In his next movie Mike Lindell will lay out the case that China, in league with Hugo Chavez and JFK Jr, killed Sicknick.

You don’t know that. All you know is that they haven’t released a cause of death to the public yet. There is a reason why investigators don’t discuss ongoing investigations (as Mr. Sherwin is now finding out). Investigators/prosecutors like to have their ducks in a row before they give many of them away.

Exactly…investigators are always careful about revealing information to the public to make sure it doesn’t help the criminal weasel out somehow.

I have a feeling the cause of his death may have been complicated, too.

I know that he is a hero in the Q scenarios (which I find really odd), so I’m not sure that the Pillow Guy would point fingers at him.

When I read Q theories, I tend to feel that they are created by people who just want to see how far they can push outlandish theories.

It’s sick.

I think that’s a lot of what’s going on. People essentially treating the real world as a role-playing game.

Interesting. I felt much the same way when reading William Shirer’s The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

I don’t think that they haven’t determined the cause, it has not been released. Not sure what that means.

It’s also a by-product of the social media / internet access phenomenon. In the old days, there were gatekeepers (editors, publishers) who did the fact checking and made sure that truth became news. Now, any yahoo can post anything on a website and call it “news” - and people will believe it, true or not.
