MSNBC don't say Sicknick died from the riot. Say he was beaten to death. He .....

[MRDAWG]

was a Trump supporter but he swore to defend the Capitol.

What happened to Blue Lives Matter?

[Cha]

1. Yeah, don't sugarcoat it!

[MarcATL]

33. So he died from the bludgeoning...

or not?

[TwilightZone]

3. The cause of death hasn't been made public.

They're not going to report that he was beaten to death until it's officially confirmed. And that may not be accurate.

"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.

One possibility being considered by investigators is that Sicknick became ill after interacting with a chemical irritant like pepper spray or bear spray that was deployed in the crowd. But investigators reviewing video of the officer's time around the Capitol haven't been able to confirm that in tape that has been recovered so far, the official said.

The case could also be complicated if Sicknick had a preexisting medical condition. It could not be learned if he did. "

4. Thanks, I was still believing the early reports. nt

[TwilightZone]

6. Yeah, it's gotten complicated.

Way more so than it first appeared.

[Irish_Dem]

9. Yes. I hope the true story comes out at some point.

[Bev54]

26. And that is likely why no charges yet, first they have to determine

the cause and manner of death. So people need to calm down a bit.

[still_one]

5. The truth is they don't know exactly how he died. No question that he died because of the riot,

but until they know how the exact circumstances they can't just say he was beaten to death.

[still_one]

8. no idea Chin, and maybe they did an autopsy which would reveal a lot information

[still_one]

12. I saw that video also, and I think they said Sciknick wasn't in that video

[still_one]

24. It actually hit three people if it is the same video we are talking about. The first one was a

direct hit as you said, then bounced off and hit two other police

[cwydro]

32. That was not the incident.

That was a different incident, and they arrested the asshole who did that.

[dewsgirl]

11. He died in the hospital, there is so much to all

of this, I'm almost positive he died on the 7th.

[theneworiginal]

27. He collapsed at home afterward. Not sure where I read it.

Must be a tough guy to make it thru that and go home. No other details that I could find.

[still_one]

15. I believe you are right, but if he received a head injury, that could be the case

[soothsayer]

20. He died the next day (corrected)

Soon after Sicknick died on January 7, prosecutors in Washington opened a federal murder investigation, dedicating a team inside the US attorney's office to build out a case, authorities have said.

[AntiFascist]

30. What seems strange...

his relatives weren't even told that he was injured until it was too late. By the time the family got to the hospital he had died.

[soothsayer]

31. Oh man. I didn't know that (or forgot, if I did)

[Crunchy Frog]

29. I thought he got hit in the head with a fire extinguisher, sustained massive trauma,

and died from his injuries the next day.

[onecaliberal]

14. He died the next day because they beat him

He was murdered. Just because he died the next day, insurrectionist killed him. They need to be charged with murder. If those were BLM protestors they would have all been gunned down on sight.

[bdamomma]

18. How could they

not find the murderers yet??? for Officer Sicknick?

[msfiddlestix]

21. My plea to MSNBC et al: Sicknick was BRUTALLY MURDERED

I find it infuriating when they repeat the phrase "he died" ... and oh by the way, others were brutally injured.

I didn't know that Sicknick was a Trump Supporter. but there ya go. They just don't Care!

[VA_Jill]

23. Apparently

at least TWO officers suffered traumatic head injuries during the insurrection (riot is too mild, to my way of thinking) and they and some others are still hospitalized with other injuries, per Rachel last night. So since we don't know Officer Sicknick's official cause of death YET, let's just hang on a minute.
