      I’m not defending those traitors, but they didn’t kill 4 police. This is from the wiki on the event.

      “Within 36 hours, five people died: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes, including a police officer.

          The brain bouncing against the inside of the skull due to blunt force trauma is technically a natural cause, if you cross your eyes
