Capitol police officer dies of assault

According to this NYT report, a Capitol police officer was assaulted during the siege with a fire extinguisher and later died. Twitler must be charged with insurrection and murder and tried. Those Repugs supporting the coup attempt must be charged with insurrection and as accessories to murder.

"A United States Capitol Police officer died on Thursday night from injuries sustained 'while physically engaging' with pro-Trump rioters who descended on the U.S. Capitol the day before. [...] The circumstances surrounding Mr. Sicknick's death were not immediately clear, and the Capitol Police said only that he had 'passed away due to injuries sustained while on duty.' At some point in the chaos — with the mob rampaging through the halls of Congress while lawmakers were forced to hide under their desks — he was struck with a fire extinguisher, according to two law enforcement officials."
