Woke up this morning and finally saw the footage of this "beating to death with a fire extinguisher". Said fire extinguisher was tossed in the officers' general direction, bounced off a couple and did not even phase anyone. Both the guy shoving an officer just before that, and the projectile rocketing in afterwards, appear to be closer to legitimate violence than the extinguisher.
This hyperbolic reporting / narrative is so exhausting. Didn't Sicknick die of a heart attack the following evening? Hardly sounds like he succumbed to any kind of wounds.
