Trump's full, complete, and unconditional pardons included organizers of Jan 6th and those convicted of attacking police officers. Crimes pardoned included choking of an officer, stomping on officers' heads, spraying officers with pepper spray, using a stun gun on an officer, and hitting officers with flagpoles, chairs, and fire extinguishers.

Officer Brian Sicknick (42 years old) was pepper sprayed, collapsed, and died of a stroke the following day. Four officers who responded on Jan 6 committed suicide in the following days and months. Officer Jeffrey Smith's suicide was ruled as "in the line of duty".
