#1 I believe this makes the 3rd officer to die by suicide, not the forth. The other was natural causes, IIRC.

Seems like a lot of suicides. Coincidence? Maybe. Suicide rate in the gen pop is 13 per 100,000. For cops, it's 17 per 100,000. Capitol Police force is about 2,000 strong.

17 suicides/100000 cops * 2000 cops = 0.34 persons. At 3 dead, they seem to be running a little hot.

#2 If your feelings are hurt that bad by this incident, maybe you were in the wrong job to begin with.

#4 Seth Rich, Epstein, Assange, Keystone XL pipeline, Fauci and Wuhan, the 2020 election, Hunter and the Biden crime family, BLM, illegals at the border, the Schutzstaffel FBI; everything having to do with this administration is wildly outside of any statistical norm, or the realm of reality. Can there be any doubt we are witnessing evil on an epic scale ?

#6 Pressure being applied to the ranks? Some still have a sense of integrity and can't reconcile carrying out what amounts to a gross abuse of authority but won't resign and lose that pension?

#7 Seems odd to me so many are committing suicide. The refusal to be bought may result in early death seems very plausible.

Is Nancy competing with Hillary for the top spot of DC Witness Elimination?

#9 Either they are seeing things that go against their conscious, or are about to speak about them and shoot themselves in the back of the head twice because they are so distraught.

#10 Here's my read.

The administration knows the media. They are friends of nobody, citizens of no nation and loyal to no single master.

Once the wokeness/libtardation begins to hurt the corporate world enough, they may want a swing to less chaotic times. Also, without a valid 'other' the media machine won't have enough charged fodder or issues. The 'insurrection' has not been milked enough, you see. So who knows they may one day give these voices a platform, people who may spill what orders were given, what exactly happened. Before that eventuality...

#11 No, no, no, you people. Don't you see? It's Trump's fault. Orange man bad!

#12 But, yes, it is a bit puzzling that we only hear from the snowflake cops who were so badly traumatized because, for once in their sweet little sinecures, they had to do some actual police work.
