Original Note:
It is factually incorrect to say police officers were killed on 1/6/21. According to the D.C. Chief ME, Brian Sicknick died of natural causes the day after the riot. Four other police officers committed suicide in the days/months after the riot. http://www.uscp.gov/media-center/press-releases/medical-examiner-finds-uscp-officer-brian-sicknick-died-natural-causes https://www.factcheck.org/2021/11/how-many-died-as-a-result-of-capitol-riot/ https://www.npr.org/2021/04/19/988876722/capitol-police-officer-brian-sicknick-died-of-natural-causes-medical-examiner-ru https://www.cbsnews.com/news/brian-sicknick-capitol-riot-died-natural-causes/
