More on all four people who died the day of the Capitol coup attempt: Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick died after being hit in the head while engaging with the mob that flowed into the U.S.
Capitol Wednesday. He was struck in the head with a fire extinguisher, rushed to a hospital and died after a short period of time on life support.
The NYT had a gut-punch header about him: “He Dreamed of Being a Police Officer, Then Was Killed by a Pro-Trump Mob.” His brother told the paper: Brian is a hero.
That is what we would like people to remember. Aside from him, four others died — but it's a lot harder to feel sympathy for them and their families.
