>Why would you think that Jan 6th was not violent?
>They [the injuries] ranged from bruises and lacerations to more serious damage such as concussions, rib fractures, burns and even a mild heart attack.
Because the average football match has more injuries than that. Oddly enough the only source that cites 138 cases also cites Brian D. Sicknick as dying from injuries sustained from protestors attacking him: https://archive.is/0kUab https://archive.is/0kUab

>Capitol Police Officer Dies From Injuries in Pro-Trump Rampage
>A United States Capitol Police officer died Thursday night from injuries sustained when he engaged with a pro-Trump mob that descended on the U.S. Capitol the day before.
>Mr. Sicknick was responding to the riots on Wednesday and “was injured while physically engaging with protesters,” the agency’s statement said, although officials didn’t immediately elaborate on the nature of his injuries or how he interacted with the crowd. After sustaining the injuries, Mr. Sicknick returned to his division office, collapsed, and was taken to the hospital.
Meanwhile in the real world:
>The Medical Examiner report said “Brian Sicknick, 42 years old: Cause of Death—Acute brainstem and cerebellar infarcts due to acute basilar artery thrombosis Manner of Death—Natural.”

I rarely see such ham-fisted outrage bait outside of the Daily Mail talking about immigrants coming to take your job and rape your daughter. So how much do you want to bet that all of the other 138 cases are due to police just being clumsy and stubbing their toes?
