I've only read that he wasn't killed by blunt force trauma. I've not seen any source contradicting the testimony that he was hit.

I haven't seen anything contradicting the testimony, have you?
From the article I cited:
In the hours after Officer Sicknick was rushed to the hospital, officials initially said that he had been struck with a fire extinguisher. They later said that there was no evidence to support that he had died from any blunt force trauma. More recently, F.B.I. officials homed in on the potential role of an irritant as a primary factor in his death.

His mother says he wasn't hit on the head. But I don't know if the original testimony was specific as to where he was hit.

You should start hitting the bear spray aspect, jon. It's of greater rhetorical value, and probably closer to the truth.

She saw him Jon. You going to discount a Mom’s account??? Maybe it nearly grazed him?

Why? So some Trump apologist can indignantly demand an apology if they find out it was 'only' pepper spray?
Because it's closer to the truth.
Btw "demanding an apology" from you is a funny concept.

The CNN report was no blunt force trauma. Not just to the head, anywhere. Arms, chest, legs, no indication...

I suspect that at best he was grazed by a fire extinguisher. (How great does "fire extinguisher" sound? What a fantastic thing to be able to relate to really drive home the point about how violent the mob was.)

Probably was grazed with a selfie stick.

But what if it turns out to be pepper spray? Then I’ll have to deal with triumphant posters here celebrating the crowd’s vindication.

Actually, bear spray is weaker than pepper spray and is legal in every state for self-defense whereas pepper spray is illegal in many places thanks to it's much higher concentration of capsicum. You would prefer to get sprayed with bear spray over pepper spray every day of the week...

See how risky this is Horace?
What if it turns out that 100 police were injured and 15 hospitalized and no spray was used at all? Do you really think I could survive such pwnage?

That would depend on the injuries to the police officers. 100 does seem like a lot. But 15:100 ratio, ok, I'll acknowledge that that does seem like a reasonable ratio between hospitalized and injured.
Maybe we should concentrate on the 15 rather than the other 85. Oh, for the data, we all must yearn.

Well it’s an interesting reframe but the point I think is the media spread an untruth that everyone still believes and yet a month later the truth is hidden and still coming out. But was it simply a mistake, hell no, it was rhetorical gasoline and some of us know, that is the MO of the so called truth seekers.

So you do not recognize a moral difference between bludgeoning a police officer to death with a fire extinguisher and spraying an officer with what is considered a non-lethal device used for self protection?
Please note that spraying a human being with bear spray IS illegal and you are subject to arrest.
