After Complaints, White House Lowers Flags to Honor Slain Capitol Police Officer – By Richard Sisk (Military.com) / January 10 2021
The White House reversed course Sunday, ordering flags over the White House and federal buildings to be flown at half-staff in honor of the Capitol Police officer fatally injured Jan. 6 while defending the U.S. Capitol against pro-Trump rioters.
Brian Sicknick, a 42-year-old New Jersey Air National Guard veteran, died Thursday from injuries sustained while “engaging with protesters” during the mob’s siege of the building, according to Capitol Police statements.
Following complaints from groups including The American Legion, the White House lowered its flag to half-staff in recognition of Sicknick’s death.
