    Didn’t some of those people beat & kill police officers ?

    On Jan. 8, 2021, the Associated Press confirmed a fifth death: that of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died “from injuries suffered during the riot,” AP reported. However, a medical examiner’s report released in April 2021 said Sicknick suffered strokes and died of natural causes.

    Depends on how one reads that. I’m pretty sure had any other cop died in the line of duty after being beaten up would have been called a homicide.
