Are you referring to Officer Brian Sicknick? He was not killed as a result of the actions of the rioters on Jan 6. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/brian-sic... Google "brian sicknick cause of death".

My mistake.

> He was sprayed with a chemical, collapsed and later had a stroke and died. Two other officers took their own lives in the days afterward, and dozens more were hurt — including one officer who had a heart attack and others who suffered traumatic brain injuries and permanent disabilities. [0]

That said, my point still stands, this was a violent uprising.
