U.S. Capitol Locked Down As Far-Right Protesters Enter The Building

Much lower and higher are in the mind of the beholder, here are actual numbers:

Civilian and law enforcement pepper sprays range from 0.18% to 1.33% Major Capsaicinoids. Bear Sprays range from 1.0% to 2.0% major capsaicinoids.

It's not just the percentage of capsaicin in the product, it's the Scoville Heat Units... Bear spray and self-defense pepper sprays have some important differences:

Most bear sprays boast a capsaicin content of 2 percent, compared with 1.2 to 1.4 percent in most self-defense products, according to the nonprofit BearWise. The strength of peppers is measured in Scoville heat units, or SHUs, which is the number of cups of sugar water it would take to fully neutralize the spice.

A habanero pepper, among the hottest out there, has roughly 200,000 SHUs. Standard pepper sprays have around 1 million SHUs, while bear sprays pack 3 million SHUs, so it’s about three times as potent as the self-defense products.

And do you have any research or evidence of any kind that these sprays can cause a stroke a day following the attack?

Nope, Sorry. I don't do medical research or peer-reviewed medical studies. I'm not a doctor. So even if I had medical research in my hand, I'm not qualified to explicate it.

I do know on February 25, Yogananda Pittman, who became acting chief of the Capitol Police after the storming, told the House Appropriations Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch that Sicknick had died in the line of duty.

On Jan 6, shortly before 10 p.m., however, Sicknick collapsed after he had returned to his division office, within the Capitol. Sicknick was rushed to a hospital in the D.C. area, and his condition apparently deteriorated. He suffered a stroke and a blood clot, and died about 24 hours after he collapsed.

The two guys who allegedly sprayed Sicknick and other officers were caught on police body cameras, identified and arrested.

Well now we know the name of the shooter.

Now a new name has surfaced in the Babbitt imbroglio — Lt. Michael L. Byrd — and while USCP Communications Director Eva Malecki won’t confirm he is the shooter, in this case she isn’t denying it.
In a little-noticed exchange, Byrd was cited by the acting House sergeant at arms during a brief discussion of the officer who shot Babbitt at a Feb. 25 House hearing. Both C-SPAN and CNN removed his name from transcripts, but CQ Transcripts — which, according to its website, provides “the complete word from Capitol Hill; exactly as it was spoken” — recorded the Capitol official, Timothy Blodgett, referring to the cop as “Officer Byrd.” His name is clearly audible in the videotape of the hearing (at around 39:20).
Byrd appears to match the description of the shooter, who video footage shows is an African American dressed that day in a business suit. Jewelry, including a beaded bracelet and lapel pin, also match up with photos of Byrd.

When I searched for the thread, I came across a picture that Wayne posted. The picture shows the black officer standing behind the white officers. Also Byrd had his finger on the trigger, something that should not be done unless you are going to shoot; he is holding the gun with the muzzle pointed down into the area of the white officers who are in front of him.

Well, you know, he's black and they all look alike to racists. How convenient.

Also, the picture I posted of the armed black man was taken in the actual House Chambers, with the door barricaded, but Babbitt was shot attempting to breach the barricade to the House Lobby. Her shooter was in the House Lobby, in other words. As shown by the photos, the doors to the House Chambers were barricaded. How could he be in two places at once?

It's clear he, along with his armed colleagues, were prepared to defend House members to the death. Like I suggested before, he deserves a medal, whatever his name is.
