       and charge them and then try to execute their arrest.”

       concluded. Sicknick may have incurred a fatal blood clot as a
       result of being struck in the head during the protest. The
       Capitol Police indicated that he “was injured while physically

       NFAC Leader “Grandmaster Jay” Charged With Assaulting Law
       Enforcement Officers
       --- Quote ---
       > According to the complaint, the officers and task force
       officers advised they all perceived a threat from Johnson based
       on him aiming his rifle at them.  All officers advised they were
       concerned Johnson might intentionally, or even accidentally,
       discharge a round at them.  All officers recognized that the
       distance between themselves and Johnson was well within the
       effective range of an AR platform style rifle.  Two of the
       officers advised that they were wearing their LMPD soft body
       armor, with “Police” semi-reflective placard identifying them,
       the night of September 4, 2020.  None of the officers had drawn
       their handguns and only one of the officers had a rifle with
       him, which he did not point at Johnson or the NFAC members on
       Armory Place. All Officers advised that neither Johnson nor the
       other NFAC members perceived a threat from the officers on the
       roof, because neither Johnson or the other NFAC members moved to
       cover when they saw the officers on the roof of the Jefferson
       County Grand Jury Building.
       >
       > If convicted at trial, the statutory maximum sentence is 20
