Who killed the cop?

I haven't seen anything about a suspect or any updates on the investigation. Surely there are fingerprints. Surely there's a video. Weren't there cameras everywhere Someone saw him getting his head bashed. I think we deserve more answers than we are getting.

Trump should be held responsible for these deaths. If he isn't criminally held responsible, I hope these families sue the hell out of him and his family.

They know he was battered with a fire extinguisher.

BTW, did you notice that most of the CP didn't have helmets or real riot gear?

I can't recall but I believe it was the DoD/Pentagon that twice refused the equipment.

of the building would have surveillance cameras? This is something that wouldn’t be public, yet I would think the FBI may have the attack on film.

A Capitol Police Officer Has Died Of Injuries From Trump Supporters' Riot

snip****

Police said earlier on Thursday that the mob "actively attacked" officers using metal pipes and chemical irritants such as tear gas. More than 50 Capitol and DC police officers were injured in the riot, and several were hospitalized with serious injuries, authorities said.

Four Trump supporters also died in the violence. Ashli Babbitt, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran and believer in the QAnon mass delusion, was shot in the neck by police as the insurrectionists were forcing their way toward the House Chamber, authorities said.

Three others — Benjamin Philips, 50, Roseanne Boyland, 34, and Kevin Greeson, 55 — died after suffering medical emergencies during the mayhem.

All this is on trump..

The three Trump fanatics who died during Wednesday's mob attack on the Capitol died from a heart attack, a stroke and being trampled in the Rotunda.

Roseanne Boyland, 34, from Georgia, Kevin Greeson, 55, from Alabama and Benjamin Phillips, 50, from Pennsylvania, all died on Wednesday.

Phillips, a computer programmer who traveled to DC with dozens of other Trump fans from Pennsylvania, suffered a stroke.

Greeson, who had high blood pressure, suffered a heart attack 'in the midst of the excitement', his family said

So they'll just not be able to figure out who it was. And besides, think about his future! One mistake shouldn't mean punishment forever for the poor guy. He might have a promising future as a swimmer or something.

He comes from a different era, he gets a pass right? Times were different then. Poor guy was confused.
