    I have been checking the webcam for the Capitol in DC, and the flags were fine earlier; but now they are at half mast.
    The only thing that I can think of might be the shooting in Florida where 2-3 (different reports) FBI were shot early this morning. They were doing a raid on child sex-traffickers (Something like that) and apparently there was some kind of a shoot-out.
    Does anyone have any information why the flags are down ?

    Here is the webcam link of anyone wants to look.

    That was over around January 13, according to the news reports for that. The flags were are full mast most of the day today, but there seemed to be quite a few police cars with lights flashing, and some kind of black ones that came in a long line.
    Looking now, there are still some police cars with flashing lights, but that is all that I can see.

    Could it be for the two FBI agents recently shot and killed?

    They are having a viewing in the Capitol Building for the police officer who was killed there. After four years of pretty much everyone ignoring riots, as well as the murders of police officers, by the left, they are making as much hay out of this one as they can.

    They must be having another one today, because now there are two lines of people outside of the main Capitol doors. Yesterday, it was police cars and the black official-looking ones, but today, no vehicles, just long lines of people.
    Since the officer that died was hit in the head by someone carrying a large fire-extinguisher, it is likely that it was another officer that accidentally hit him with it.
    This is almost a month later, so why the memorial services now ? We already had the one with the flags down for a week after he died.

    There is a precedent for this. Of the others (11) who died in the Capitol all were of natural causes, except two police officers, who were shot and killed in 1998. Both were laid in honor in the Capitol rotunda... LINK

    As to the timing...

    One could also look at it this way. If this ceremony had been scheduled during the previous administration, the charge would have been that Congress was just trying to stir up trouble. The president likely wouldn't have showed up, and there might have been an awkward situation, with comments hurtful to the family of the officer.

    It is possible that this officer died from a stroke caused by a blood clot, according to his family and the doctors. Here is a link to the page that talks about his death.
    In any case, it is good that they are honoring one of our law enforcement, regardless of how he died.
    Here is an excerpt from that page and a link to the page if you want to read more.
    “He texted me last night and said, ‘I got pepper-sprayed twice,’ and he was in good shape,” said Ken Sicknick. “Apparently he collapsed in the Capitol and they resuscitated him using CPR.”

    The site said that on Thursday, family members were told that the officer had a blood clot and suffered a stroke and was on a ventilator.

    There seem to be a raid on the capital by police or military it happen just after the house closed down. Different video show a line of police cars and buses entering the capital. New media not one sound. Also a picture of the capital show the flags flying at half mast this means a death but not one word in the media. Is the media a source of information or is it all the people who are being banned of the alternative media?

    What is one good piece of evidence that he was hit by another officer? Who would even conceive of such a thing? Who made this allegation?
    He probably did die from a blood clot and stroke. One that was directly caused by having his skull crushed with a fire extinguisher wielded by a peaceful republican patriot following his presidents orders and exercising his first amendment rights!

    Sheesh where in the hell do you come up with these ridiculous theories?

    There you go again. You can't resist to inject your twisted sense of logic into every post. It must suck to be so distraught.

    Explain the twisted logic Al!
    What logical reason would an officer have for assaulting his brother?
    It is very logical that a blood clot formed from a fractured skull?
    Please explain how that is illogical or twisted?

    Of course in your logical world all was peaceful Jan 6, no one was hurt, no property was damaged,no one attempted to thwart a legitimate transfer up power the mall was filled with Christ like figures showering love on all!
