1. I bet there was at least one active or retired NYPD there, too.

3. How about, that led to the deaths of five people including a U.S. Capitol Police officer.

instead of, "...led to the deaths of four people and a U.S. Capitol Police officer."

4. I'd rather...

“Of four seditionist and one brave Officer of the Law defending the Republic.” That is more accurate.

The irony is that the heroic officer who died was very conservative, no doubt voted for trump, but valued the country over the man. Died doing his job. Upholding the rule of law.

I read about him earlier today. Disagree with his politics. But honor the man greatly. A hero of the republic.

5. I accept your revision. It is better.

Those cops were set up by higher-ups to be overwhelmed. One died. 50 or more were injured. We saw one being squished in a door.
We need some answers.
