‘Couldn’t stay quiet': Capitol cop’s mom wants Jan. 6 probe

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Brian Sicknick’s family wants to uncover every detail about the Jan. 6 insurrection by pro-Trump rioters, when the Capitol Police officer collapsed and later died. “I couldn’t stay quiet anymore.” The Capitol Police are caught in the middle of a political firestorm involving the lawmakers they are sworn to protect. “Police officers were being attacked.” Garza also spoke of how some celebrated the medical examiner’s ruling in her boyfriend’s death that found he suffered a stroke and died from natural causes. “It was also very hard to know that his last moments on earth were dealing with what he had to deal with.” Unlike a traditional municipal law enforcement agency that polices the community at large, Capitol Police officers are solely responsible for protecting Congress and the hallowed building, which makes the infighting in Congress about their future even more strained.
