The New York Times quietly updated a month-old report about the siege of Congress which perpetuated the idea that U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick might have died after being struck by a fire extinguisher.
Now affixed to the top of the report, headlined: Capitol Police Officer Dies From Injuries in Pro-Trump Rampage, is an update note. "New information has emerged regarding the death of the Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick that questions the initial cause of his death provided by officials close to the Capitol Police," the missive states in italic letters.
Capitol Police announced that Sicknick, a 42-year-old who joined the agency in 2008, died at around 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 7, one day after rioters sieged the U.S. Capitol as lawmakers counted electoral votes to affirm President Biden's victory.
"Officer Sicknick was responding to the riots on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol and was injured while physically engaging with protesters. He returned to his division office and collapsed. He was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries," the Capitol Police said in a statement. Capitol Police said Sicknick's death would be investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch, the USCP, and federal partners. Charges have yet to be filed in the case.
The next day, the New York Times reported Sicknick "was struck by a fire extinguisher," citing two law enforcement officials, prompting other news outlets to echo this reporting. The following week, a retired Pennsylvania fireman, Robert Sanford, 55, was arrested and charged with assaulting law enforcement. Sanford was caught on video and accused of throwing a fire extinguisher at police, but he was not suspected in the death of Sicknick.
In recent days, CNN reported that investigators have determined that initial reports about Sicknick being hit with a fire extinguisher are not true and that medical examiners "did not find signs that the officer sustained any blunt force trauma" as they "struggle to build a murder case" in the officer's death. One leading theory is that Sicknick was sprayed by an irritant such as bear spray and had a fatal reaction. It is not publicly known if Sicknick had a pre-existing condition which could have contributed to his death. Two days after the Capitol riot, ABC News cited "sources familiar with the matter" to report that "authorities believe Sicknick's death was driven by a medical condition."
The way the report appeared as of Sunday evening said the fire extinguisher theory was in dispute: "Law enforcement officials initially said Mr. Sicknick was struck with a fire extinguisher, but weeks later, police sources and investigators were at odds over whether he was hit. Medical experts have said he did not die of blunt force trauma, according to one law enforcement official."

This was preceded by a separate New York Times report on Thursday, which added: "Investigators have found little evidence to back up the attack with the fire extinguisher as the cause of death, the official said. Instead, they increasingly suspect that a factor was Officer Sicknick being sprayed in the face by some sort of irritant, like mace or bear spray, the law enforcement official said." That report also states this development "has complicated efforts to arrest suspects in Officer Sicknick’s death, as both the police and rioters used spray in the siege. It is difficult to prove who sprayed irritant on Officer Sicknick."
The Washington Examiner reached out to the New York Times for comment.
Sicknick's eldest brother, Ken Sicknick, told ProPublica last month that Brian Sicknick had texted the family hours after the siege to say he was pepper-sprayed but doing Okay. “He texted me last night and said, ‘I got pepper-sprayed twice,’ and he was in good shape,” Ken Sicknick recounted. “Apparently he collapsed in the Capitol and they resuscitated him using CPR.” He went on to blame the "political climate" for getting his brother killed.
"Many details regarding Wednesday's events and the direct causes of Brian's injuries remain unknown, and our family asks the public and the press to respect our wishes in not making Brian's passing a political issue," Ken Sicknick told Fox News a couple days after his brother's death.
Brian Sicknick received the rare tribute of lying in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, where his casket was visited by President Biden, and Sicknick's cremated remains were sent to Arlington National Cemetery to be laid to rest.
Austin Myers
Several others died amid the chaos of the Capitol riot. Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran and Trump supporter, was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer while she attempted to climb through a window into the Speaker's Lobby. Three others died from “medical emergencies," according to officials. And two other officers who responded to the siege, one from Capitol Police and another from MPD, died by suicide, local police said.
A federal homicide investigation was quickly opened into Sicknick's death in early January, and acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin, the federal prosecutor leading the Capitol riots investigation, said “specialized teams” were still investigating the deaths of Sicknick and Babbitt during a Jan. 26 press conference.
“We can't comment on those grand jury investigations at this point, but we're hopeful we're going to be able to have results soon in those cases," Sherwin said. The results of those inquiries have not yet been made public, almost three weeks later. Investigators have also not yet publicly identified a suspect behind who planted pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC the night before the Capitol riot. Former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen said the day after Sicknick's death that the officer "succumbed last night to the injuries he suffered defending the U.S. Capitol against the violent mob who stormed it." He added that the Justice Department "will spare no resources in investigating and holding accountable those responsible.”
The House impeached former President Donald Trump last month on a charge of inciting insurrection in connection to the Capitol riot. He was acquitted by the Senate on Saturday, but before that, the National Review's Andrew McCarthy raised concerns about how the House impeachment managers mentioned Sicknick as they made their case against Trump.
Joshua Reyes
In fact, a pretrial memo cited the New York Times's reporting, saying, "The insurrectionists killed a Capitol Police officer by striking him in the head with a fire extinguisher."
"Clearly, if Officer Sicknick died because of something the rioters did, that is a serious matter. If that happened, former President Trump should be accountable, because he was instrumental in arranging the January 6 rally that turned violent, because he stirred up his supporters with provocative rhetoric, and because — as commander in chief of the armed forces — he failed to take action to repel the siege on the Capitol," McCarthy, a former assistant U.S. attorney, wrote in a column published on Thursday. "But if it did not happen the way the House Democratic impeachment manners have represented that it happened, we should be told that — and be told why such an inflammatory allegation was made in the impeachment article and repeated in the pretrial memo," he added.
The article of impeachment itself alleged that the mob that was "incited" by Trump "unlawfully breached and vandalized the Capitol, injured and killed law enforcement personnel, menaced Members of Congress, the Vice President, and Congressional personnel, and engaged in other violent, deadly, destructive, and seditious acts."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday she was introducing legislation to pay tribute to the Capitol Police and other law enforcement personnel who protected the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 with the Congressional Gold Medal, including Sicknick. Biden said that "it was nearly two weeks ago that Jill and I paid our respects to Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who laid in honor in the Rotunda after losing his life protecting the Capitol from a riotous, violent mob" in a statement issued after the Senate acquitted Trump.
Well, it seemed like bullshit The cpd said it was bullshit the day after or so Then they officially retracted it and said it wasn't bullshit, after several publishers started publishing that it was bullshit. They actually doubled down on it ...aaaaand now its bullshit officially again
But nobody will ever find out that it was bullshit because it won't be aired 24/7 to the populace as they did with the bullshit

So... How does this late edit make this story a lie, exactly?
Evan Torres
Don't you get it, because his cause of death was misasigned, he wasn't killed at all! Hes still alive! No one killed anyone at the Capitol riots, and because the fire extinguisher claim is false, Trump is president again
Leo Sanders
I keep forgetting that, in this broken game between left and right media bubbles, some folks think that shooting the messenger is worth more points than shooting the message, simply because the emotional rush is more satisfying.
Blake Nguyen
I really can't make heads or tails out of this spewage. No timeline is given, just histrionics about things that were reported and not reported by various outlets that were never confirmed to begin with. Everyone was reporting that "it was reported that." It's been known since the 06 Jan that the fire extinguisher thing was unconfirmed. The NYT among other outlets) keep updating their stories as they got new reports from different sources.
I have no idea what point this article is making other than "pure fucking chaos was taking place and nobody knew for certain what happened." And very nearly every report noted that it 'was reported' or 'rumored' with no confirmation.

>>NYT reports information govt. officials release >>later, govt. officials change their story and NYT reports the new information Gaslighting and propaganda.
The NYT's source was an "anonymous person close to the Police", it was not an official source. There's still no official statement confirming what his cause of death was, just one confirming it was not via fire extinguisher, contrary to what the NYT falsely reported. They falsely reported this on purpose, in order to disseminate political propaganda against political dissidents. There's no magic wand, no combination of left-cult buzzwords you can string together to make this go away.
Why is it that when one of your sacred MSM cows gets caught lying, again, you're immediate reaction everytime is to attack the people exposing their lies? Are they paying you? Or do you honestly do it for free?
William Rogers
This is how conservatives operate. They ask you to be unreasonably specific either to sea lion or to nitpick on a minute detail to say you're who argument is discredited. As you said, getting the facts rights about the cop Trump's terrorists murdered means he somehow isn't murdered by Trump terrorists. It just shows there's no depths they won't stoop to.
Liam Barnes

Blake Bell
>They falsely reported this on purpose, in order to disseminate political propaganda against political dissidents Where did you get that information, from one of "your well placed sources," aka rightwing bobblehead echo chambers? At least MSM issues corrections when called out whereas rightwing media never does (see the reporting of Trump's 30,000+ lies as facts and truth for 4 years) unless they get their bloated asses sued.

I mean at the end of the day he still died from injuries sustained from the rioters so, how the hell does this help their case?
Zachary White
The insurrectionists showed up with cases of bear spray and started using it indiscriminately. There was video that they broadcast on social media while bragging about it.
It's illegal to use bear spray on humans. There are reasons why, especially including adverse health effects, such as death.
Julian Rogers
I did some searching it's not illegal to have or use for self defense but using it to assault someone is assault obviously. It's actually less concentrated than normal pepper spray as it's purpose is deterrence not incapacitation.
David Russell
There really is fluoride in the water supply though. Supposedly it's for oral health.

Yeah and there's mercury in your vaccines. Just because it contains something potentially bad doesn't mean it's a harmful thing. Sunlight can cause cancer but you don't see people refusing to go out. Fucks sake, most people use fluoride toothpaste.

A lie is still a lie, no matter how much the liars say it isn't...until it is, and can't be debunked by feelings over facts. January 6th wasn't an insurrection, it was the last gasp of American democracy before the media narrative buried freedom in the Swamp.

Cooper Diaz
How does this change the fact he was killed by a rioter?
Do you think the security video shows Pence banging him over the head with a fire extinguisher or some shit?
The murder weapon is not material to the story, at best, you'll find it was something a rioter brought with them, rather than something picked up at the scene, promoting Murder 2 to Murder 1.
Evan Price
He likely died from an allergic reaction to all the pepper spray in the air, maybe, it's really still not totally clear. That spray could have come from one of his colleagues. The fact is nobody knows, and it's a bad idea to lay blame of murder on a group without strong evidence. There is a reason why the court system requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
Josiah Jackson
>How does this change the fact he was killed by a rioter Was he? Tell us what killed him
Christopher Garcia
Probably suicide by gunshot to back of head after democrats realized he wasn't dead in Thursday, after they already pushed out their propoganda claiming he was not only dead but he was murdered with a fire extinguisher
Angel Thomas
>How does this change the fact he was killed by a rioter? Because he wasn't killed by a rioter. The fire extinguisher story was fake, his cause of death happened a week later.
My guess is, like most cops, he was probably a fatbody and had heart issues from years of stuffing donuts in his face.
Jeremiah Cook
>Do you think the security video shows Pence banging him over the head with a fire extinguisher or some shit? There's no security footage of anyone hitting anyone over the head with a fire extinguisher, or anything else. There's no footage of this cop being assaulting. If there was, we would have seen it.
Everyone in that building had a camera rolling, start to finish. How is it they managed to catch security shooting a rioter but somehow managed to miss someone beating a cop to death with a fire extinguisher? Doesn't follow, does it?
Christopher Allen
>Everyone in that building had a camera rolling, start to finish. How is it they managed to catch security shooting a rioter but somehow managed to miss someone beating a cop to death with a fire extinguisher? Doesn't follow, does it? In sure that Trump caused it to be this way with his infinity gauntlet he uses for supporting the fine white supremacists from Charlottesville that he financially supports using a small loan from his father if $10 trillions, which he hid in his tax returns
Ian Butler
yes. magically, in the chaos everyone should have been able to efficiently record everything from every angle but also coincidentally they spent most of that time pointing the camera at themselves to deliver some sorta speech to their "online crowd"
its almost like they were a bunch of morons bragging rather than actually trying to document anything other than their feelings of triumph
Anthony Foster
interesting thread, mostly confirmation bias, but interesting
Luke Sullivan
>yes. magically, in the chaos everyone should have been able to efficiently record everything from every angle Thats literally what happened you faggot. How many videos and selfies were posted that day? Hundreds, from hundreds of angles. Every notable event mentioned, that happened in that building during the incident, was on camera publicly in some form or another.
Except, of course, the debunked fire extinguisher incident.
Parker Peterson
I'm pretty certain that Trump used a small loan of $1trillion from his father to hide the recording of that incident. I'd heard that when somebody was going to publish it online Trump's lawyers rushed over to their house in Iron Man suits and paid off their mortgages in return for getting that video
Levi Rivera
Holy dick OP that image tho
David Morales
Well shit. How often does this happen in the US?
Noah Bailey
How would they record that when they were too busy ganging up in a crowd and bashing him to death.
Hell, even if it wasn't a fire extinguisher, the officer still died from injuries from the riot. They're still guilty.
Landon Martinez
>ell, even if it wasn't a fire extinguisher, the officer still died from injuries from the riot did he? Are you sure?

user I'm asking if you think the officer never died at all, because that' the way your post makes it fucking look. Obviously he died from injuries from the riot, that's why I didn't have to mention it a second time fuckwit.
Ryder Myers
Did he die from his injuries from the riot? Are you sure about that? >Check the catalogue
Colton Wood
Are you retarded? He died of a stroke not caused by the riot.
Aiden Lewis
The delusion is so fucking real holy shit. Sicknick died after he collapsed after responding to the riot, that is the official report of what happened to him. Where the fuck is this stroke nonsense coming in from?
Joshua Carter
You should probably check the catalogue
Tyler Thompson
>Where the fuck is this stroke nonsense coming in from? Definately not the new York times. It took them around a month to retract their lie about the fire extinguisher. Just enough time for trump's second trial to end.
But yeah, they knew long before that's not how he died. I mean shit, they were reporting he was dead 48 hours or so before he died. NPR even mentions this
Kevin Miller
I'm seeing a mess of conflicting reports saying everything from bear spray to a stroke to physical trauma. Hell, even the report of the family being told of a stroke doesn't make a colossal amount of sense considering the death is still an open investigation, so it's entirely possible they weren't told the real cause.
Easton Carter
I agree with most of this. Only, the direct cause of death is known, don't fool yourself. He's dead. He died in a hospital. Doctors know why he did and it was due to suicide by gunshot to back of head when the news realized he wasn't dead although his death had already been reported It's known. They had no problem reporting on the fire extinguisher. We just aren't being told now that the trials over, his death doesn't matter anymore. And the lie is embarrassing, better brushed under the rug
His name was Brian Sicknick

Didn't we have a similar story just this week about them manipulating opinion polls? Yep. here it is.
It seems the mask is just off now. That they'll just edit and change information to be outright lies and propaganda, because they know their silly-putty brained cultists will follow it to the grave. It's little more than a state-run mouthpiece, at this point.
It's also interesting to note that the so-called "Right wing news site" Fox News literally isn't reporting on this, either. Because even if Fox is the away team and New York Times is the Home team, they're still playing a game with one another, and they want to keep it going.
Clockwork, silly-putty brained retard from bunkertranny getting pissy because someone posted a story proving, yet again, that he's an uneducated fuckwit that is actively being lied to. Easier to scream and lash out than accept that maybe the sources that you're getting your information from are inaccurate after this happens for like the tenth time.

Fair point, think I'd know better after being witness to Cracky-Chan, but I can't resist trying, when there's so much evidence it isn't satire anymore.

It would make sense that the officer really was hit with an extinguisher..... Only that's been retracted by the people who kept pushing it and determined to be false
it looks like someone took two unrelated stories and put them together in what seems like a real case of propaganda an honest mistake
Gabriel Robinson
he looks like robert paulson
Jack Lee
Have you looked up the case of Robert Sanford, the man being charged for hitting the cop with a fire extinguisher, and the video of him doing it?
This is a case of an honest mistake trying to be spun into propaganda, thinking it somehow changes the only pertinent fact:
A protester killed a cop in the capital building.
This probability wave has long since collapsed. End of line.
But this board seems to full of people that don't understand what grand heroes and villains these ~500 people were. Why they deserve respect for showing the whole nation a fundamental truth: We have no reason to fear this nation, we could wipe it out in a heartbeat. It has no reason to fear us, because we never have.
So why does everyone in this whole darn nation, still fear each other?
That simple fact has not in anyway been retracted, Joker.

Justin Long
Read the article, it is not.
The fact that a protester killed a cop in the capital building, was never retracted.
It's not just liberals acting crazy anymore. Everyone's gone mad and the propaganda is so thick these days that I think it's reasonable to believe that some people have never actually heard any real facts regarding anything political. Troll culture is dividing this country and I think a little sincerity could go a long way. Misinformation is a problem but it's not fought with censorship it's fought with facts and a little understanding.
Ryder Smith
Watch the videos . They beat the cops with American flags. Watch he body can footage and then tell me about these peaceful protestors.
Joseph Russell
>The fact that a protester killed a cop in the capital building, was never retracted. Yes it was, because the officer didn't allegedly die until a week later. Meaning they were saying he died while he was still alive.
There's zero evidence this happened other than an "anonymous source close to the police department". All the cameras in that building that day, taking pictures/video of everything that happened, yet somehow no one got footage of that or even saw it happen. Weird.
Ryder Bell
Truer words have never been spoken
