You have plural "police officers" . Let's correct that tragedy to two strokes the day after by one officer,
42 year old Brian Sicknick, whom allegedly may have had underlying conditions, a lifetime of doughnuts, and a clogged arterial system to go with a sedentary lifestyle, whom over exerted himself that day, got pepper sprayed and the next day had two strokes from all the stress.
Precisely because they were woefully understaffed, for the two pipe bombs planted at the DNC and RNC drew away HALF of the federal law enforcement that were onsite at the Capitol earlier that very day. It is tragic that 5 lives were lost, four on J6, and one officer on J7. Nobody is in support of the violent behavior that occurred, then or what is going on in the Twin Cities now.
It was only recently, that the FBI arrested a subject for these pipe bomb planting crimes in the area where Vice President elect Kamala Harris was located that day, 5 years ago.
