> One cop died in the storming at the hands of the mob

Didn’t they die the following day after returning to duty? I don’t recall, does anyone have a link?

At times like this, we should honor the fallen and remember their name. If only for the short time to honor their duty.

Someone in the mob threw a fire extinguisher at Officer Sicknick's head. Later on the 1/6th, Sicknick collapsed due to a stroke (probably related to the beating he received). A day later on the 7th, he succumbed to his injury and died. I don't believe he ever "returned to duty", but now that we have his name, his story is at least more easily searchable.

The cop was beaten with a fire extinguisher and died later of the injuries sustained.

That is definitely being killed by the mob. They don't get a pass because it took some time before the fatal injury caused death.

Yup. We don't know the full details, and I don't want to speculate any more than I have to, but it needs to be pointed out that subdural/epidural hematomas caused by head injury can take some time to kill you. Remember Natasha Richardson?

In any case, RIP Officer Sicknick.

Nope, no returning to duty. Is this something going around the right-wing social media discussions? Huh.
