A show of emotion

Everybody there was grief stricken about Officer Sicknick’s tragic death at the hands of the seditious mob. Some people were just more open about it than others.

*****

We went down to the Capitol today because I wanted a picture of it through the huge fence that's been erected all around it. I did get a few of those on drive-by, but then we decided to park the car and see what was going on there because the road in front of it was literally packed with police officers and vehicles. It turned out that the Capitol Police were there in force to attend the funeral procession of USCP Officer Brian Sicknick, who died of injuries sustained during the seditious attack on the US Capitol on January 6 after he was reportedly hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. His death was a tragedy, and I'm glad we were there to pay our respects as his hearse passed by.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

He's a hero and the House Speaker had ordered the flags at the Capitol lowered to half-staff in his honor....V

All I can do is echo Don's comment, because that very thought has been running through my mind ever since Jan 6. V

Such a tragedy. How can anyone believe that the orange monster is a "law and order" president?
