A big arrest today, not an organizer but one of the first perps on #SeditionHunters's radar - #Fingerman, who flipped off the police after brutally attacking at the tunnel, notable for his U Michigan sweatshirt. He's Justin Jersey from Flint, Michigan. (h/t @michigantea) 1/
Here's the iconic photo of attackers around a downed police officer that started many people on #SeditionHunting. With today's news about #Fingerman, all hashtags in this Jan 22 post (plus many more) are arrested. 2/
The case is not yet unsealed but Detroit News has a few details. They talk about #HockeystickMan, also from Michigan and also part of that attack, but there doesn't seem to be a connection. 3/

What We've Learned (so far) thread

We started looking for 4 rioters who dragged an officer (#5737) into the mob and beat him before and after he lost consciousness. We thought he might be officer Brian Sicknick, who later died. We know now he was officer A.P. Wayte who survived.
In the hunt, though, we found video of a guy (GrayPack) who threw a fire extinguisher at a group of police. One of them had had his helmet knocked off by a different guy who checked him over a ledge. The extinguisher hit one cop in the head, bounced into the helmetless guy.
We know that Officer Sicknick was hit in the head by an extinguisher, "walked it off," then collapsed later and died, presuably from brain bleeding. Those facts fit the helmetless officer, but we don't know yet if he is Sicknick. He turns his head; they don't look that similar.
