It's strange how we haven't heard more about the circumstances surrounding Officer Sicknick's tragic death. The story we hear repeated on social media is that he was "beat to death" by rioters. But nobody has been charged with that crime, and no evidence has been presented for it
"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."
To make matters worse, the media is linking THREE officer deaths to the riot, but two of the three died by suicide in the days and weeks after. Turning those into riot deaths is just so unbelievably cynical and misleading.
