Didn’t they die the following day after returning to duty? I don’t recall, does anyone have a link?
- dragontamer 6y agoAt 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.

- bawolff 6y agoThe 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.
- benmaraschino 6y agoYup. 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.
- jrochkind1 6y agoNope, no returning to duty. Is this something going around the right-wing social media discussions? Huh.
