      They beat policemen to death and wiped their own feces on the walls of our Nation’s Capital.

      (I am amazed how often this gets deleted by moderators on lemmy when I point this out)

          I apologize. Of the officers beaten by rioters only one, Brian Sicknick, died directly from the wounds. Fifteen more were hospitalized.

              Why are you splitting hairs to defend insurrectionists?

              Is it because they beat capitol police and you hate the police?

                If you spread false information, even if it’s in the name of a good cause, you will make it harder for people to believe you or people supporting your good cause when you talk about true information. There’s enough issues with conservatives that you don’t need to invent more like a conspiracy theorist.

                  I’m just saying, be careful what you wish for and don’t be surprised if suddenly climate activists and other Democrat protesters don’t get charged with the same thing once you do.

                  They already get charged. The insurrectionists were treated with kid gloves and are to this day.

              Medical examiners are one step removed from cops (as in they work with cops a lot and a lot of them are ridiculously unqualified political hires) so yeah, it would be stupid to trust them in any even slightly contentious circumstances.
