Sicknick, 42, who joined the force in 2008 and was a\u00a0member of the First Responder\u2019s Unit, was \u201cinjured while physically engaging with protesters\u201d during the breach of the Capitol, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/police-officer-dies-after-responding-to-capitol-riot\">statement<\/a>\u00a0from the Capitol Police, and later succumbed to his injuries.<\/p>\n<p>At least 140 officers from both the Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police forces were injured during the riots, including severe injuries such as cracked ribs, smashed spinal discs, and a lost eye.<\/p>\n<p>Howard Liebengood of the Capitol Police and Jeffrey Smith of the Metropolitan Police died by suicide in the wake of the riots.<\/p>\n<p>Sicknick&#8217;s flag-draped casket will arrive at the Capitol at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, whereupon his former colleagues in the Capitol Police will be allowed to pay their respects. Members of Congress will be permitted to do so beginning Wednesday morning. A ceremony will commence at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, after which Sicknick, an Air National Guard veteran, will be laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery.<\/p>\n<p>Sicknick&#8217;s ceremony will be reminiscent of the Capitol Police officers who laid in honor in 1998, after having died in the line of duty when a gunman entered the Capitol and opened fire.<\/p>\n<p>Sicknick was a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, but he went out of his way to remain friendly with coworkers who disagreed with him politically.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/officer-who-died-from-injuries-protecting-capitol-was-a-trump-supporter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Caroline Behringer, a former staffer who worked for Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), said Sicknick was a Trump supporter who traded political barbs with her and embraced her the day after President Trump won the 2016 election.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAs the 2016 election neared, Behringer said she and Sicknick, a supporter of the then-candidate Donald Trump, traded barbs and joked whether he would prevail over the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2021\/01\/08\/capitol-police-officer-brian-sicknick-who-died-veteran-war-critic\/6595549002\/\">reported<\/a> USA Today.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe would kind of trade jabs about who was going to win and kind of make fun of each other for our sides being in the lead,\u201d the former Pelosi staffer recalled.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe day after the election, Nov. 9, 2016, Behringer recalled being devastated by the outcome and struggling to face the day as she approached the Capitol Building,\u201d the report said. \u201cAs she walked up, the doors had been thrown open by two other officers, a request made by Sicknick when he saw her approaching.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI collapsed into him in tears and I knew he was a Trump supporter \u2013\u00a0he was an outspoken Trump supporter \u2013\u00a0and he put that aside in that moment to comfort a friend and it was a small gesture of kindness, but one that has always stuck with me,\u201d said Behringer.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/we-need-answers-congressman-calls-for-investigation-after-video-appears-to-show-police-allowing-rioters-into-capitol-building\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u2018We Need Answers\u2019: Congressman Calls For Investigation After Video Appears To Show Police Allowing Rioters Into Capitol Building<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
