Change "murdered" to "assaulted"
A few Capitol police officers died by suicide following Jan 6th.
Officer Brian Sicknick died afterwards, but the Chief Medical Examiner
said his death was natural, although the stress of the event may have
triggered it.
Thus, the claim that police were "murdered" is misleading. The claim
that police were assaulted on Jan 6th is undeniable.

Give me a break. You know why I'm not using a kinder tone? Because in the past, I've been *extremely* patient, understanding, considerate, and courteous when engaging with MAGA republicans. I've shown you all that I understand and even sympathize with your frustrations with politics. And you know where that's gotten me? Absolutely nowhere. You still engage in bad faith arguments, constant whataboutism, and never concede any point. I can admit the failures of the left, but I would *never* admit them to MAGA cultists who can't even *acknowledge* what happened on January 6th. |
