Another U.S. Capitol Police officer has died in the days following the riot by a pro-Trump mob at the Capitol.
Capitol Police in a statement on Sunday said Howard Liebengood, 51-years-old, had died. A police union official said the cause of death was suicide."I'll be interested in finding out if there was a connection with Officer Liebengood," said Sen. Roy Blunt on "Face the Nation." "But mostly I'm interested in reaching out to both of these families.
Mr. Liebengood was assigned to the Senate division and had been with the department since 2005, according to a spokeswoman for the force. He was well-known on Capitol Hill, where his late father had served as chief of staff to former Republican Sen. Bill Frist of Tennessee and sergeant-at-arms from 1981-1983.
Mr. Frist said that he hadn't spoken to the family. A person who answered the phone at a number associated with the home of Mr. Liebengood's brother declined to comment. The death occurred days after a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol seeking to step the certification of the Electoral College votes that awarded Democrat Joe Biden the presidency in the November elections. It was the second death of a police officer in recent days and followed the death of Officer Brian D. Sicknick, who was struck in the head with a fire extinguisher during Wednesday's unrest, according to a law-enforcement official.
Antifa = Peaceful Protestors MAGA = MOB
Why does wsj resort to posting this clickbait garbage.
Hmmm I wonder why?
What
If you can confirm a Supreme Court Justice in 8 days, then you can impeach a President in 10.

Good! Just when you think there's no karma for shooting an unarmed, country dedicated lady in the neck - Voila!
Sad what is going on this country!!! I hope soon Flynn and Trump expose all these criminals. You’re gonna see things you never thought about! Soon!
This is very sad news. I would like to express my heartfelt prayers from Japan.
Why are Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Rudy Giuliani not arrested and charged with sedition? Their inciting riots and mob activity, directing the mob to Congress, and having full knowledge what would happen should be enough to arrest them!!!!
There is something more to this. I think He was involved sonehow and was afraid of being found out and arrested
Did he cash Trump’s check first?
This is not a good omen, dark days ahead for a beautiful USA.
Have any Portland police committed suicide? Woild that be Trumps fault too? Either way, ita a sad waate of a life.
Please no more deaths. PLEASE.
His death certificate will say he died from the Chinese Virus!
Trump's presidency can be summed up by the dead bodies
😢
He was probably one of the cops who let the protestors past the barricades
Everyone who said “Defund the Police” is responsible for this suicide!

👆🏼WSJ is FAKE news. Please CANCEL your subscription. I did!
Americans are easy to control. Dont you guys even watch your own movies huh🤔🤔
He probably wanted to tell the truth and they (establishment) killed him. Why wasnt the police read for the protest🤔
Only TRAITORS would call for UNITY after TREASON. PATRIOTS DEMAND JUSTICE.
Awful! The FBI is still seeking information related to the attack. It is incumbent on individuals, businesses, and organizations to help the FBI bring the terrorists of the CapitolRiots to justice
Curious, how long are we going to attribute every capitol police officers death to trump?
This officer literally wasn't even working that day. What a garbage headline.
Hate to say, but this is interesting timing.
🙄
Sad & just awful 💔💙
is this related to the intruder that was shot.
My Goodness!
Very sad.
I blame JoeBiden & KamalaHarris for degrading their force, such ‘healing’ lunatics soon to b in charge
Sad.
🙏💔
RiP. This did not need to happen.
So very sad. Condolences to the family.
my prayers and condolences 🙏 😢
Trump invited his followers there on 6th and during the rally to Capitol Building to raise stake during the electoral vote certification. Any casualty is the direct result of his incitement to the crowd.
Your euphemisms are out of touch with reality by any stretch of the imagination. 'Insurrection attempt by murderous, seditious mob encouraged by Trump and the GOP' would be a tad closer to the truth.
Please remember that the first cop who died voted for Trump. He died of the stochastic terrorism he supported with his votes.
Capitol riots harmed Trump's popularity and increased the popularity of Biden. Nancy Pelosi prepared the script and some extremists executed it with the help of police and the FBI. Because of the Capitol riots, Biden is flying in the sky. Who got advantages from Capitol riots?
Was the officer a POC?
How in the fuck is this even remotely tied to Trump?
How sad
Lemme guess—Trumps fault!!!
Was he the one who shot the woman? Or he lost his job? (Don't have a subscription).

He died. By suicide. How the fux? You're like the Pravda in the USSR
