#Jan6 #CapitolPolice #CapitolRiot
Hope Jan 6 cop families get the support they need
This is just my opinion ,but all of the horrific events that took place that day on January sixth 2021 should go back to the source of the rhetoric by a person who urged his minions ,his weak parasites,his dishonorable,evil pieces of scum to go storm that building and fight the election he said he had won,should be place squarely on his shoulders,now that his cult are facing the consequences for their part in it ,so should he .
Let's blow Brandon!!!ðŸ˜ÂÂ🤣🤩😂
FAKE NEWS
All my debt was paid off with the amount I received from 👆service really this platform is awesome

This is so tragic. Not only was he injured but he did not receive the care he should have after the riot. He should not have been forced back to work. The follow up appointment did not do an assessment.
Was he Complicit with the rioters? if not his family should be COMPENSATED.
I'm sorry for your loss. There's no question about what you and he are entitled to. Unless you're trying (they are) to prove it didn't happen.
The Way those brave heros pulled away the blockade and waved the old fart terrorist freedom lovers in to the abandoned capitol building…was like watching a guided tour.. The hero's should all get what they deserve… Especially those brave ones that allegedly took one for the team….
So, unlike the officers who were murdered during the YEAR LONG Democrat riots, this guy committed suicide! False report much!
In the end i pray his wife gets what she deserves in full. This is sad, as he died in the line of duty! RIP
I heard that she was getting slammed by his brother when he got killed… 😲
Let me guess she's going to try to blame Trump for it and try to sue him I bet
Sorry sorry Aaron suicide insurance companies don't pay out on it suicide
Hey Aaron Smith do you shed tears for Ashley Babbitt and your husband wasn't killed by any protesters by the way
Remember when vaccine mandates were conspiracy theories??? Insubordination now… when will people realize how tyrannical and authoritarian this is.. fascists ironically call themselves anti fascist as a desensitization tactic
Let’s Go Brandon!ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂ
By all means, give her anything and everything she needs.
We are sorry for your loss and it is a loss to our country and the world.
I hope that this incident leads to a greater awareness that people with brain trauma and head injuries should receive care. I didn't realize that 4 officers that served that day died by suicide. May they all be honored.
Well might have a claim against the Trump administration if not Trump himself as he was the one who incited this small and ill-fated but deadly insurrection
That widow lost her partner and companion for life if the beauracracy can't muster up fair compensation for the family left behind everything that the officer did. And the injuries contributing factor directly or indirectly. But he was off acting as a public servant who let's face it w/0 police and military and firemen and EMT service
we simply wouldn't have the appropriate substrate to be a stable foundation for this great nation and everything that goes with it
If we didn't have public servants of the present
Nothing no phone no smart TVs. Etc. So I would deem it most appropriate to pay homage in spirit for the fallen officer. But also see to the fact his family gave the ultimate sacrifice which was the father of the family and cannot be paid off and money but we need to save keep those who are safe keeping our interest and fell in the service of such
I think it was a tributary at least to his death because of this and then had to go back to work he wasn't ready he really didn't want tobut he didn't want to look soft and in front of his fellow officers or something I don't know but I think she should get some benefits I think it definitely his career in the way his life ended tragically I think they're a case could be made especially in this kind of situationI don't see it as as bilking the government for a fallen officer who was physically traumatized in his line of work and then seemingly within a small handful of time he dilapidated rapidly from an already dilapidated state
seems like a pretty fair assumption to at least investigate further as to head injuries contributing directly to his death he never felt better he never recovered I'll be there is a Nexus I'm not a lawyer but it seems like there is a connection
It’s called a TBI traumatic brain injury they can diagnose it after death by doing a brain autopsy.
Sad God bless all the police and protect them.
Sending prayers of love and comfort to this family.
trolls run youtube… proof below
Those other officers don't count they were fighting against blm
