CNN: "The Justice Department on Tuesday abandoned the idea that pro-Trump rioters had used bear spray against Officer Brian Sicknick during the January 6 riot, a major change after implying for weeks that bear spray, not pepper spray, had been deployed." https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/29/politics/military-intel-leader-russia/index.html?utm_term=link&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twCNNp&utm_content=2021-04-29T22%3A02%3A04
Virtually everything the corporate media said about Officer Sicknick's death from Jan 6 until this week - almost four months: from fire extinguisher to bear spray - was completely false. It became part of the impeachment trial and the script Biden reads: https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-media-lied-repeatedly-about-officer
The first tweet has the wrong CNN article. Here's the right one.
One section is headlined: "Murder probe fizzles" https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/27/politics/sicknick-capitol-bear-spray-pepper/index.html

Hate @DarrenJBeattie's politics all you want, but he was one of the few who, from the start, was pointing out all the huge contradictions and evidentiary holes while the herd animals in corporate media manically jerked from one lie to the next (sorry, that's just true). And now:
Death toll from January 6 Capitol riot:
-- Pro-Trump protesters killed: 4 (two by heart attacks, one by stress-induced methamphetamine overdose, one fatally shot by an unnamed cop while unarmed).
-- People killed by pro-Trump protesters: 0.
-- Pro-Trump protesters killed: 4 (two by heart attacks, one by stress-induced methamphetamine overdose, one fatally shot by an unnamed cop while unarmed).
-- People killed by pro-Trump protesters: 0.
