Thanks for sidestepping the entire point of my post.
Fredo thanks you for supporting the narrative.

Like, legally on the hook or judged at the pearly gates on the hook?
The former would mean that a traffic violation could lead to a murder charge if Officer Cholesterol keels over during a traffic stop.

If he died of a heart attack or a stroke, he probably would have died anyway.
That day? Someone's defense attorney will have to prove he was going to die that day, otherwise they are culpable.
I know a number of people that died of heart attacks and strokes that weren't at the Capitol Building at all. I know some of them that had it happen and they weren't even at their workplace.
If someone in law enforcement dies while in the process of dealing with a crime it doesn't matter if you shoot them or they drop of a heart attack, you're still on the hook.

No, the prosecutor would have to prove that the defendant (they don't have anyone to accuse yet) caused his death....

If the officer died in the process of trying to stop a felony, which is what all of these people are being charged with, felonies, then it becomes felony murder.

Please tell me what crime happened at the hospital, specifically a felony.
He died of a stroke, at the hospital.

I can't help but wonder if Officer Sicknik was one of the officers that opened the doors to invite everyone in to the Capitol building.
Those doors are big and heavy...and could easily lead to a heart attack if the guy was out of shape.

What matters and what you should be asking yourself is would this guy have died that day if it weren't for all the Special Olympians who rioted and stormed the Capitol. If the answer is 'no' then someone(s) are culpable for homicide.

That's not how it works. LOL
They have to prove that a specific event that day was a direct cause of his death. Not vice versa, lol

You mean like the dem politicians who ordered the NG to stand down and not respond to the calls for help?
Trump is a Democrat? I think you're confused on who controls the National Guard.
