A US Capitol Police officer has died from events stemming from Wednesday's riot at the Capitol, three sources confirmed to CNN.

The police officer is now the fifth person to die as a result of the day's violence. One woman was shot and killed by Capitol Police as the crowd breached the building and three others suffered medical emergencies that proved fatal.

Rioters on Wednesday breached the Capitol building and the Senate chamber, ransacked the offices of Pelosi and other Capitol offices, and a laptop was stolen from the office of Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley.

All of the terrorists who are prosecuted need to be charge with felony murder

[C_U_L8R]

1. Add murder to the impeachment charges.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Daily 9/11s of Covid deaths wasn't enough. . . nt

[George II]

9. At least accessory to murder.

[dogknob]

16. Manson didn't actually kill Sharon Tate, either. He got Murder One.

Book 'im, Danno.

[MontanaMama]

3. I'm sorry to hear this.

I do wonder if this person was one of the complicit officers who allowed the insurrectionists through the door or did he/she resist the mob? I hope we will find out what happened.

[pfitz59]

4. I guess "Blue Lives" don't matter to these deluded "Patriots"

Their entire schtick is a lie. They just want to be all macho and violent...

[RockRaven]

5. Especially, as noted in another thread, the fucking off duty cops who were part of the rioters

Cop-on-cop crime! Felony murder charges sound like just deserts for those cops.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. OMG a Senator's laptop ... i heard there is concern spies could have been in the crowd

that is a really alarming development.

Also I read 50 police officers were injured.

Police were outnumbered, I read some 3500 on hand plus 300 National Guard. Totally inadequate. Lots of speculation on Twitter today that this was by design, preplanned.

So Trump stripped the USPS of sorting machines, and lightened the police presence so they'd be ineffective?

[Flaleftist]

7. I think of a death occurs during a felony, everyone participating

can be charged for it.

[OrlandoDem2]

8. More blood on Trump's hands after the D.C. Putsch.

[Chemisse]

10. The way this was worded makes me think it was by natural causes.

Like a heart attack, for instance.

If a cop had been attacked, then died, during the riots, the PD and press would have been a big deal out of it.

[orangecrush]

13. Sorry, I disagree.

[mr_lebowski]

23. Even if so ... how many Capitol Police have dropped dead while on duty?

IOW, what are the odds that this would have happened ... absent the attack the officer was dealing with?

[Evolve Dammit]

11. Look for "blanket pardon" of all the mob.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

24. He can only pardon

crimes at the federal level. Wash DC can charge them and do it after he's gone so he can't do it anyhow.

[Evolve Dammit]

33. Good to know

[orangecrush]

12. Murder of a cop

You've done it now, you stupid fucks.

15. US Capitol Police say reports that an officer has died are not true.

US Capitol Police say reports that an officer has died are not true. "Although some officers were injured and hospitalized yesterday, no USCP officers have passed away."

19. "Technically" the USCP

is correct.

However, there are reports the police person is on Life Support and they are waiting for family.

Waiting for Family, often describes a brain dead condition, and they want to give time to the family before life support is disconnected.

It will be interesting to see what the case truly is.

Some law opinions feel that if a Police Officer (or anyone for that matter) died as a result of the attack, then EVERY SINGLE PERSON involved IN ANY WAY with the criminal act that resulted in the death can be charged with Murder in the second degree......

17. Orwellian 1984 anybody. The "law and Order President"

[former9thward]

18. Except no officer died.

Another internet rumor.

[LisaL]

20. Officer is on life support.

"A Capitol Police officer is on life support Thursday night after a mob of President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the US Capitol a day before, according to Capitol Police union chair Gus Papathanasiou."

32. When I posted the Capitol police had denied anyone died.

And people at the same time were posting someone had died. That was posted on DU

[Action_Patrol]

21. It's not a rumor. He was on life support. He's gone.

As you know it was posted in this thread and on DU

29. Wrong, as usual

trump lost

[Bayard]

22. Can a murder charge be added to trump's list of crimes?

He is as responsible for these deaths as the people he ordered to assault the Capitol.

I'd still like to know what happened to these other 3 people that died from, "medical emergencies".

[Gothmog]

25. The officer had died due to the injuries suffered in this uprising

28. They should charge Trump with felony murder.

[Evolve Dammit]

34. beaten to death with a fire extinguisher. Murder.

[DemocraticPatriot]

35. Well, now they are all "cop-killers" and we are justified in labeling them as such.

Many of the Trumpies are going to be sadly surprised, that there are going to be actual consequences to their "in the moment" actions.
