FOG BLOG U.S. NEWS: CAPITOL POLICE OFFICER KILLED IN RIOT LAYED IN HONOUR AT THE CAPITOL:

A CAPITOL POLICE OFFICER WHO GAVE HIS LIFE TO DEFEND THE CAPITOL AND THE FREEDOM IT STANDS FOR WAS KILLED IN RIOTS ON JANUARY 6TH AND WAS LYING IN HONOUR AT THE CAPITOL ......Slain U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was lying in honour in the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday evening, allowing his colleagues and the lawmakers he protected to pay their respects and to remember the violent attack on Congress that took his life.

Sicknick died after defending the Capitol on Jan. 6 against the mob that stormed the building and interrupted the electoral count after then-president Donald Trump urged supporters on the National Mall to "fight like hell" to overturn his defeat. The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement that Sicknick, who died the next day, was injured "while physically engaging with protesters," though a final cause of death has not yet been determined.

The arrival of Sicknick's remains at 9:30 p.m. ET was solemn, with dozens of Capitol Police standing at attention as his urn was carried up the Capitol steps.

U.S. President Joe Biden, accompanied by his wife Jill, paid his respects once Sicknick's fellow officers filed by.
