21. Brian Sicknick is an American hero who gave his life in the protection of American Democracy.

When talking about or thinking about Brian, please remember that if not for the insurrection and the crowds use of chemicals in their attack, Brian would still be here. The DC Medical Examiner could not see DIRECT cause and affect. The ME is a doctor and I am not, but I know what happened that day, we all saw what happened on 1/6, the attack was caught on video.

Brian was a 40 year old guy with no extra weight, light drinking non smoking cop who put about 15- 25 miles a day on his bike. 5 days a week 48 weeks a year. Hot, cold, whatever, on his bike securing the Capitol.
Brian came to work at 0700 on 1/6 around 10 pm, Brian left the Capitol unconscious, he was admitted to the ICU via the emergency room and died without regaining consciousness. Brian came to work and never went home. He was briefly kept on life support so that his family could say good bye.
Brian was a right wing guy, but when Democracy was under attack, he more than stepped up, he gave his life. Brian Sicknik is an American Hero
