U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was born in New Brunswick and raised in South River, and he died in D.C. on January 7, 2021. He succumbed to two successive strokes just hours after being pepper- sprayed by violent criminals attempting to stop the peaceful transfer of power and undo our democracy. The men who attacked him just hours before his death, who were charged, tried, and convicted of assaulting a police officer, were just able to walk free. They were pardoned by Donald Trump. Officer Sicknick made the ultimate sacrifice. Pardoning his attackers is an assault to his memory, an affront to his family, and a disgrace to the Constitution that he swore to uphold and gave his life to defend. January 6 was a violent insurrection. We have proof. We have videos, and nothing will change that history. ____________________
