  • ... that US Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick (pictured) wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement since high school, and joined the New Jersey Air National Guard "as a means to that end"? Source: "After Sicknick struggled to find a policing job early on, his family said, in 1997 he joined the New Jersey National Guard “as a means to that end.”" ([1])

  • Interesting, neutral, cite checks out. Article new enough and lacks outstanding issues. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 16:28, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
Adding "pictured". Image is appropriately licensed and works at DYK size. The 1997 image in the article might also be appropriate given the hook's focus, and is also appropriately licensed. Hook is short enough but only just, could perhaps do with trimming for concision. Espresso Addict (talk) 06:20, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
Great idea! I've added the 1997 image above. Edge3 (talk) 03:29, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Vaticidalprophet, had a look at promoting this, but the 1997 image needs to be approved. Thanks, --Jack Frost (talk) 14:13, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
I thought Espresso Addict already conducted the review of the 1997 image. But I'm happy for either reviewer to confirm that the 1997 image is approved. Edge3 (talk) 16:31, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
I did indeed check the licence for the 1997 image, which is public domain as created by the US government. Espresso Addict (talk) 19:02, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
