Obviously Pelosi, Schumer, and their PR firm (the media) used the fictional story of the Officer Sicknick murder (which they knew to be false) to their own political advantage. To the point of insisting on a highly unusual ‘lying in honor’. Honoring the deceased by falsely claiming he was murdered by Trump supporters?

That is particularly repulsive -not to mention ghoulish- even within the usual potpourri of lefty propaganda.

Wow, how did he hold them all? Oh....you mean they were outside the perimeter, in a car or truck or something several blocks away.

No cause of death has been officially released. His mother thinks he died of a stroke.

"Gladys Sicknick suggested that [...], her son might have succumbed to a stroke.

“He wasn’t hit on the head, no. We think he had a stroke. But we don’t know anything for sure,” Sicknick told the Daily Mail. “We’d love to know what happened.”

On the same day it was reported that Brian Sicknick might have been hit in the head with a fire extinguisher, his brother, Ken Sicknick, told ProPublica that his brother had not been rushed to the hospital amid the rioting but texted him after he returned to his police department.

“He texted me last night and said, ‘I got pepper-sprayed twice,’ and he was in good shape,” Ken Sicknick said.

Douglas Buchanan, chief of communications for Washington, D.C.'s Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services, said Brian Sicknick was not rushed from the scene of the Capitol siege to the hospital and had returned to his department before his hospitalization."

Disingenuous trope.

The Police were not the object of their rioting. Unlike BLM and Antifa.

To be fair, it is true that the Capitol rioters didn’t kill anyone and there was very very little damage (beyond windows), no looting, and no arson. So it is was very different from other mobs and riots we saw this past summer.

But the riot did injure some cops and involved breaking into a building currently closed to the public (as a result of Covid). That has been condemned by by folks on both sides of the aisle.

Over 140 cops were injured that day. They suffered concussions and loss of fingers. Several were hospitalized. In all probability Sicknick would be alive if not for the violent insurrectionists.
There's no reason to believe that. Any intelligent person would presume it's made up just like the Sicknick murder story.

No, it's the "They did something much worse and are now acting like something much less serious is a big deal" observation.

Yes it's all the Democrats doing.

Poor innocent Trump supporters.

Did you actually watch the Capitol being stormed?

For goodness sake WAKE UP. Trump is GONE.
There's no doubt that the lies the Left has told about January 6 are much worse than what actually happened on that day. And the Left's promised responses -- illegal censorship and persecution -- take the Left's perfidy even further.

Yes, let's not believe the police union either. Egg them lying cops.
