Original Note:
The statement "... the loved ones of the five officers who lost their lives in the line of duty as a result of what happened to them on January 6, 2021,” is misleading. No officers were killed by rioters that day; one death was from a stroke of natural causes. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-merrick-b-garland-statement-fourth-anniversary-january-6-attack-capitol https://www.uscp.gov/media-center/press-releases/medical-examiner-finds-uscp-officer-brian-sicknick-died-natural-causes
