Historians will write about January 6th. Most will wait until more facts are known about how it all started and who the bad actors were. They will also write about the good actors. There are always many good actors in an incident like January 6th, but story tellers usually pick out one good actor and make him the hero.
I hope 50 years from now they will write about officer Sicknick. He was most certainly a hero, among many others. He should stick out because he died. He put his life on the line to protect the Capitol and the elected Representatives inside.
My definition of a hero is a person willing to die protecting others. That means police, firemen, and soldiers. That also includes our front line health workers fighting this pandemic. I do not consider musicians, athletes, and other cultural icons heroes.
It will be interesting to hear the whole story of January 6th, but we already know officer Sicknick was a hero.
Absolutely! He died in the line of duty, guarding his post! The irony is that many rioters were wearing Thin Blue Line logos on their apparel while beating those officers down. Officer Sicknick's murder should be the one irredeemable facet in that riot Republican Senator JURISTS must consider. Or .... Maybe Capitol Hill Police Department should issue an arrest warrant for a certain, orange-hued, twice impeached, private citizen for Conspiracy in the death of one of their own.

Absolutely correct and bj saved me more typing. I wish someone would swing for something and if so let's start with the War for Lies in Irak.
