What initially struck me about this (he is to Lie in Honor on February 2nd and 3rd in the Capitol Rotunda) was that I thought he had already been buried (he died January 7).
Given the family's expressed wishes 'our family asks the public and the press to respect our wishes in not making Brian's passing a political issue' https://www.issuewire.com/family-sta...8336832096094]) one imagines there was some back-and-forth on this and the announcement.
There doesn't seem to have been much news released on his death since the official announcement that he died after suffering a stroke in his office precipitated by physical confrontation with rioters at/in the Capitol Building. (There were some more specific details in the press and family statements that thus far remain unconfirmed.)
He will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

I'd like to know, what qualified him to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery ?
8. Earlier as an Air National Guardsman, he served in Operation Desert Shield and Operation Enduring Freedom. Later, in July 2008, he joined the Capitol Police depatment.
I think it was approved as an exception to policy given his veteran status and death related to the defense of the Capitol:
Each request for exception to the interment and inurnment policies will be evaluated using the following considerations:
The decedent's specific military service (contributions and acts) that directly and substantially benefited the United States military.
The decedent's specific civilian service (contributions and acts) that directly and substantially benefited the United States military and demonstrates the manner and level of sacrifice or heroism typical of military service.
Whether the decedent's combined military and civilian service presents extraordinary circumstances that justify approving an exception to the policy.
From this point on, anyone who tries to protest in D.C. will now be considered a terrorist.
Draconian days are upon us.
Pantifa and BLM will be encouraged to riot and destroy though... Especially when a republican is in the white house.
