Are strokes a side effect of getting maced? (because that brings up a whole other concern about police tactics)

Or did they finally confirm he got struck in the head?

Apparently he collapsed (presumably from the stroke) 7 hours and 40 minutes after being maced at the capitol. He had no other internal or external injuries according to the medical examiner.

It's possible the stroke was related to the stress from being maced, but you could drive a truck through the reasonable doubt in a criminal case. It's not appropriate to say he was murdered by the rioters IMO.

Capitol Police officer Brian D. Sicknick suffered two strokes and died of natural causes a day after he confronted rioters at the Jan. 6 insurrection, the District’s chief medical examiner has ruled.

The ruling, released Monday, will make it difficult for prosecutors to pursue homicide charges in the officer’s death. Two men are accused of assaulting Sicknick by spraying a powerful chemical irritant at him during the siege, but prosecutors have not tied that exposure to Sicknick’s death.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Francisco J. Diaz, the medical examiner, said the autopsy found no evidence the 42-year-old officer suffered an allergic reaction to chemical irritants, which Diaz said would have caused Sicknick’s throat to quickly seize. Diaz also said there was no evidence of internal or external injuries.

...

Macchiaroli said additional evidence of some conduct by rioters could emerge independently, which prosecutors could argue contributed to the strokes. But he said that “any defense attorney . . . would use the medical examiner’s conclusions as clear-cut evidence of reasonable doubt.”


In explaining the decision, the medical examiner’s office provided an updated timeline leading up to Sicknick’s death. A statement says Sicknick collapsed 7 hours and 40 minutes after he was sprayed, and then died nearly 24 hours after that.

Another thing I found out recently is that the zip-tie guy shown in the dramatic photo of him in tactical gear leaping over a railing in the capitol didn't bring those ties with him. He found them on a table where a cop had left them once he was inside.

House passed a bill along party lines to grant statehood to DC. Obviously will not go anywhere in the Senate.

So many people moved from California to Texas that Texas gained 2 and California lost 1. Amazing

FWIW, if these changes took place before the 2020 election, Biden would have won by only 68 instead of 74 electoral votes

If Trump hadn't made the census less Hispanic-friendly, Minnesota and Rhode Island probably would've lost seats to Texas and Florida.
