Once again, DC police is separate from Capitol police. The Capitol is strictly policed by Capitol police and they only answer to Congress.
Mayor Bowser is not wrong that DC police would be the lead law enforcement agency for DC. But the Capitol is outside their jurisdiction. She has no power to order her police force or the National Guard to defend the Capitol.
To make matters even more difficult she and her police force also don't have jurisdiction over the National Mall. That falls under the purview of the National Park Service. For those that don't know, the National Mall is a 2 mile long park that extends from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial. So technically, the closest police force to the Capitol that could've provided backup was one controlled by Executive Branch, aka the Trump Administration.
Why didn't they provide any support?
medical examiners did not find signs that the officer sustained any blunt force trauma

The Democrats and Liz Cheney claim President Trump caused the riot on the Capitol one month ago on January 6th.
Yet we don’t know definitely how the four Trump supporters died that day since we’ve seen no investigative reports.
And, we haven’t seen an autopsy for Ashli Babbitt and so we don’t definitely know how she died. In addition, we have no idea who shot Ashli Babbitt.

Right, but not CNN which held the interview with Donna in which she made the statement. Rich's family was either pressured into that lawsuit or persuaded with financial gain to have the lawsuit go forward against FOX, but at the same time leave CNN/MSNBC alone.
We were 169 days into 2017 when Charleena Lyles was shot and killed by Seattle police officers Sunday. She was the 451st person killed by police in this country in those 169 days. This is one of the ways in which America is an exceptional nation.
We resort to violence much more often than any other economically advanced democracy. This is the path our country has chosen. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Lyles called the police for help Sunday morning and told them her home had been burglarized. Two officers were dispatched to her apartment, and after a few minutes of discussion, the tone of the encounter changed. On a recording of the incident, Lyles can be heard saying something to the officers. The police say she had two knives. The officers repeatedly tell her to get back, and then there is gunfire.

I have been saying this since the day he was reported as deceased. It was a false narrative from the start, used to fuel painting the protest as "DEADLY". They needed cold bodies to really make the white national domestic terrorist label to stick. As it stands, there were ZERO deaths/murders as a direct result of the protest, except for the woman shot in the neck by Capitol police.

The Capitol Cop Brian Sicknick died after the Capitol riot. It is popularly believed he died after being struck by a fire extinguisher, but no one really knows.
Investigators are having a hard time placing the cause of death.
They don't know why he died. They have no real evidence. They've reviewed video of the struggle and can't find direct evidence of him being struck with anything.
In Sicknick’s case, it’s still not known publicly what caused him to collapse the night of the insurrection. Findings from a medical examiner’s review have not yet been released and authorities have not made any announcements about that ongoing process.
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.
A report from an official says that investigators no longer believe he was struck by a fire extinguisher even though this was what was first reported as the believed cause of his death.
The next theory was that he had a reaction to pepper spray or bear spray, but again, review of video hasn't shown this.
One possibility being considered by investigators is that Sicknick became ill after interacting with a chemical irritant like pepper spray or bear spray that was deployed in the crowd. But investigators reviewing video of the officer’s time around the Capitol haven’t been able to confirm that in tape that has been recovered so far, the official said.
Additionally, he could have died if he had a pre-existing medical condition, but again, there is no evidence of this.
So what killed Brian Sicknick?
It appears right now that no one knows.
