CNN: A Capitol Police officer has died

[BGBD]

as a result of injuries sustained yesterday.

Any Capitol Police who allowed insurgents into the building should be charged in their murder as well. They sold out their brothers and sisters.

[blm]

1. Bad cops are letting Trump extremists murder good cops.

[LymphocyteLover]

56. oh, just a few bad apples, right?

[live love laugh]

86. There's a difference. Didn't you see the video of some cops opening barriers

and others literally fighting for their lives?

[LymphocyteLover]

87. Yeah, I know-- it's complicated. This video is pretty scary.

[Cobalt Violet]

2. They all should be charged with murder.

Everyone of them. Rob a bank with a group, one kills a cop, all are charged with murder. It shouldn't take the murder to be a cop but now we will see if blue lives matter to these people.

[BGBD]

4. Agreed

Everyone who entered the building should share a felony murder charge for killing a federal officer.

This crime carries the death penalty.

[malaise]

6. THIS n/t

[Tumbulu]

57. Every damned one of those invaders

must be charged and prosecuted. EVERY ONE OF THEM!!!!!!!

Yes, I am really unhinged over this!

[DENVERPOPS]

75. That would really put an end

to this shit, wouldn't it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question: Can trump issue a blanket pardon for these thousands, or or do they have to be charged/convicted of a crime first.
If that was the case, he will be out of office and unable to pardon any or all of them.....

[Zoonart]

3. My heart goes out to his family.

[niyad]

37. Automatic assumption it is a male officer?

[Zoonart]

43. Fact

the union said he was a 15-year veteran of the force and 40 years old. No information was given on where the officer was stationed around the Capitol on Wednesday as a mob of Trump supporters breached the Capitol.

[niyad]

44. The title in the post I saw said it was a woman officer.

Apparently corrected later.

[beachbumbob]

5. Adds a capital murder charge with death penalty for all involved, a video

or pics out there somewhere

[SheltieLover]

8. +1,000!

[UpInArms]

7. Murder and accessory to murder of a federal officer

I hope they all rot in jail for the rest of their lives

[OAITW r.2.0]

9. Ultimately, they were understaffed and underarmed.

Whose decision was that? Lets explore that channel now. Who facilitated the conditions for the mob to succeed?

[StarfishSaver]

13. That's the issue and the question

I feel sorry for some of these officers. Most of the ones we see on video were outnumbered, out-weaponed and looked scared to death.

[bdamomma]

74. Inside job????

and then there are 147 House Members who still believe in overturning the election, 8 Senators who want to overturn the election results. These are treasonous and sedition people.

We must hold accountable, he is and all who support him are accomplices.

[StarfishSaver]

10. Felony murder

[Hav]

11. I think they were deserted by their leadership

Whether they let it happen knowingly or were simply incompetent, I hope the higher ups know what they did. I see some resignations coming soon but an investigation is needed.

[tenderfoot]

12. Link?

I'm not seeing anything on google.

[Tribetime]

16. Me too. I don't see it

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

14. I wonder what my local dickbag, fascist police union president has to say now. nt

[obamanut2012]

15. Killing a Federal LEO is a huge charge, legit time in a Federal prison

If they know who did this, they are going down for a long time.

[Johnny2X2X]

20. Death penalty is on the table.

Life in prison no parole guaranteed.

[bigtree]

17. where is this reported?

...39 recs.

[BGBD]

23. I'll post it here too

to make sure you see it.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/07/politics/capitol-police-officer-dead-after-riot/index.html

[BGBD]

27. It was reported line on air.

Go find your own article if you so need. It took me 2 second to find one.

[canuckledragger]

34. Good advice

I think I'll remove YOU from my sight by putting your lazy whining on ignore

[bigtree]

38. I didn't have access to CNN at the time I asked

...and I ALWAYS include SEVERAL paths to reports when I post, knowing well that some folks here may not have access to the same sources I may hold.

So goddamn lazy I bothered to care about this person's post enough to ask.

But you do what the F you want.

[canuckledragger]

41. All you've done is badger everyone on this board

To provide info you're too lazy to search for yourself.

[bigtree]

45. I was unable at the time. It's not an uncommon courtesy, and really the op's responsibility

...as I've been told in the past by posters here without access to a full search.

You, btw, jumped onto this thread to 'bother' me. Are you okay?

[canuckledragger]

46. I'm perfectly fine.

I just don't like lying bullies.

[bigtree]

49. is there some reason you're attacking me personally?

...out of the blue?

I'm a responsible poster, who always provides links to the info I post. I've been here several years, and I'm not unaccustomed to random personal attacks.

I just thought I'd ask, because you're way out of line.

[USALiberal]

36. Lighten up! Nt

[bigtree]

42. it's not too much to ask for a link here

...and I don't deserve hostility for asking for one on something so consequential.

That's what I got from the op, for their own mistake.

I'm not taking crap for that.

[canuckledragger]

48. But YOU were the one acting all hostile from the start!

Because you couldn't be bothered to look up info yourself.

You had access to this internet forum, certainly you had access to google as well.

Now stop projecting your own hostility on others.

[bigtree]

52. you attacked me upthread, without any provocation

...talk about hostile.

Are you going to stop?

My son's IPhone wouldn't access the CNN site, and there wasn't a article on the google search. You have no cause to call me a liar, and you should be ashamed treating a stranger like this.

[canuckledragger]

69. After the way YOU treated strangers?

Sorry, you don't get off that easy after trying to abuse others.

The only reason you're actually upset now is that you were called out and are facing consequences

[bigtree]

73. we have an apparently false report, just as I surmised.

...emerging here as a linkless thread.

Nothing here to defend. Just you abusing me for wanting it nailed down.

Link to tweet

[bigtree]

63. the story's inaccurate

...and the broken CNN link was false.

No wonder I couldn't find anything on this bogus report.

So much shit here for trying to nail it down.

[BGBD]

66. The link isn't broken

And the story is true.

Wtf is your problem here, seriously?

[bigtree]

70. it's not working for me

...and reports are that no officer has died at all.

This is no way to treat something so consequential. No way to treat someone asking for proof. And now it appears your information was false.

Link to tweet

NPR Politics @nprpolitics 10m
UPDATE: U.S. Capitol Police have issued a statement saying one of their officers has not died.

"Although some officers were injured and hospitalized yesterday, no USCP officers have passed away,” they said.

We've deleted a previous tweet on this story below.

twitter.com/nprpolitics/status/1347356981447823362

...is 'my problem' with your poorly sourced post still not clear?

The officer in question may be one that was reported in critical condition. That person may well die, but this report, and your incomplete post appear to be false. That's likely why there's the dearth of reports...

[BGBD]

76. The link works and is live. I just checked it

NY Times is also reporting he is dead.

HuffPost updated their report to say he is brain dead and they are waiting on the family to arrive to say goodbye. Brain dead = dead.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/us-capitol-police-officer-dead-riot_n_5ff7a13ec5b63642b6fa27ca

[uppityperson]

77. Brain dead does not dead.

[bigtree]

78. so you CAN provide substantive links to your own posts

...go figure.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to get the story right. Nothing.

[canuckledragger]

79. That was never the argument here.

It was the abusive, bullying way you went about it, trying to force others to look things up for you.

You aren't a victim here, so don't pretend so.

Are you going to apologize to the original poister for your behaviour?

[bigtree]

81. so now you're stalking me?

...who the _ do you think you are demanding anything from me?

You've insinuated yourself into someone's else's discussion, like you're some avenger. Seek help.

[canuckledragger]

82. Oh holy shit...

Somebody hates accountability and has a victim complex, lol

[bigtree]

83. I'm not accountable to you

...for an exchange you had nothing to do with.

None of that was directed at you, but boom, bam, there you are telling someone you know absolutely nothing about that I'm "lazy" and a "liar," and you called me a "bully."

Nothing I wrote on this thread comes close to the vileness of your random, personal attack. You need counseling.

[BGBD]

84. And I'm not accountable to you

And I dont owe you links to anything.

Oh, and he is DEAD. And yes, brain dead is dead.

[canuckledragger]

88. Good work.

That's how you stand up to a bully. (regardless of all the whinng and pretending to be a victim when called out for their behaviour)

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

85. I'm with you in this, big tree

I think the OP should, whenever possible, post a link to the particular article they're referencing.

[Bev54]

65. They are now saying an officer did not die

I am very confused

[dhill926]

18. any video of the attack on the officer?

[BGBD]

22. How about you look where I said reported it?

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/07/politics/capitol-police-officer-dead-after-riot/index.html

[BGBD]

26. Because it was

Reported live on air.

[ProfessorGAC]

30. We're Not In LBN

It's perfectly ok to start a thread in GD, based upon a live, televised report.
If you need that sort of reporting structure, go to LBN. There are very strict rules in that forum.

[Ahpook]

29. Hmm

Now doesn't this make it ten times worse for the insurrectionists? This is murder now and all involved can be charged?

[Catherine Vincent]

31. I just heard it

Wow. So sad.

Rest in peace.

[Azathoth]

32. Trumpers will come to regret his ramping up of federal executions nt

[monkeyman1]

35. another trump charge

protest my ass !!! felony murder now , laugh that off. the heat just got turn up !!!

[keithbvadu2]

39. The same people who carried 'Blue lives matter' flags.

The same people who carried 'Blue lives matter' flags.

[OnlinePoker]

40. Is that the one that died of a stroke?

CNN says he died from events yesterday, but nothing about how he died.

[Marcuse]

54. The officer died at the age of 40. He looks younger than 40.

[quakerboy]

47. I would like more details

Did he(assuming because only 12% of officers are female) fall down some stairs rushing somewhere? did the terrorists pummel him? was he shot? what happened?

[BGBD]

89. They are saying

He was beat in the head witha fire extinguisher and collapsed a short time later.

Could be multiple things but a subdural hematoma could present like that.

[rockfordfile]

51. arrest them and then give the death penalty to those traitors

[COL Mustard]

53. More Blood On Trump's Hands

And Hawley, and Cruz, and all the rest of Trump’s co-conspirators.

[paleotn]

55. I'm not a death penalty advocate....

But I'm going to have to put it up on that high shelf next to Godwin's Law. Neither apply to these pieces of shit. I think a Tim McVeigh sentence might actually get through to some of these jackasses. Or at least give them a long moment of pause. We're pissed as hell and we're NOT taking prisoners.

[Tribetime]

58. Its here too

[housecat]

59. felony murder! what a concept.

[Hassler]

60. Apparently blue lives don't matter if a mob of white guys are involved.

[uponit7771]

61. +1

[Botany]

62. This is all on Trump, Fox News, the Free-Dumb caucus, OAN, News Max, Vlad Putin, Rush, Pat .....

... Robertson, Pastor Jeffress, Hannity, and Ronald Reagan for getting rid of the fairness doctrine 2.5 generation ago.

How many times has Fox pushed the toxic lie? "Well lots of people have questions about the election."
And that gets the dumb ass mouth breathers fired up so they have to "stop the steal."

[markpkessinger]

64. US Capitol Police say reports of officer death not accurate

https://www.wavy.com/washington-dc/us-capitol-police-officer-dies-following-injuries-sustained-during-riot/

[LisaL]

67. Well, it's unclear to me if the whole report is inaccurate, or if the office is on life support

which is going to be removed.

[spooky3]

71. And CNN.com still has the story on its site. Nt

[malthaussen]

68. Two words: felony murder. n/t

[badboy67]

72. Trump incited this violence. His extreme recklessness cannot go unpunished for one more minute.

IMPEACH - CONVICT - REMOVE

NOW

[womanofthehills]

80. The latest is - he did not die but has a severe brain injury

From which he most likely will not recover from. He’s on life support.
