CNN says they can’t find evidence Capitol officer was struck

In my other thread but not enough focus on this.

Coroner-no sign he was struck
Family-he was pepper sprayed and had
underlying conditions. Didn’t mention being stuck that night when he texted (died the day after)

Every AP article-

According to one law enforcement official, medical examiners did not find signs that the officer sustained any blunt force trauma, so investigators believe that early reports that he was fatally struck by a fire extinguisher are not true.

They are literally holding back the official findings while they search for a picture trying to show him being hit. 3 weeks later and thousands of pictures and videos. Trying to back up the thousands of articles saying mob killed him.

Reminder he texted his brother and said he was fine that he had been pepper sprayed twice. Pretty certain you tell your brother if you got knocked out by a fire extinguisher.

What they don’t want to say is he had a medical condition and they had to do cpr on site bc of the pepper spray. He died from his own people spraying the crowd.

"He spent his life trying to help other people," the officer's eldest brother told ProPublica. "This political climate got my brother killed."

In a statement released by the family, they say that “many details regarding Wednesday’s events and the direct causes of Brian’s injuries remain unknown and our family asks the public and the press to respect our wishes in not making Brian’s passing a political issue.”
