    so it is worth pointing out that 4 at once is really really really statistically unlikely, also the LAPD has gangs, maybe the worst gangs period, and gang retaliation is something those gangs are known to do

      Yeah I'm a little hesitant to celebrate this. Were these 4 Dorners that were about to go public and were silenced?

        Also possible they saw the wrong thing at the wrong time and got 'suicided' by higher ups so it'd be easier to be corrupt and what not.

      LASD is the agency in this case, they are even worse than LAPD. But yes this situation is very sus I agree

    Hope one of them set up a dead man's switch before they got suicided

    I like that the article spends so much text talking about the importance of suicide prevention and mental health stuff. But otherwise is just acting like it isn't beyond weird for there to be that many on the same day. If these pigs weren't about to leak something or had stumbled onto something they weren't meant to. Then I still think it could be some kind of attempt to get both some level of sympathy from the public AND more importantly get extra funding. The money would be marked for "mental health" stuff, but would actually be used for other shit of course.

    In recent years, studies have shown that more officers have died by suicide than the number killed in the line of duty. Officers also have higher risks of suicide than the general population, a disparity that some researchers have attributed to the stresses of police work

      that said, clearly there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of any other explanation for their deaths, so i withhold further comment

    I'm from LA, these ppl all died within areas that are highly populated by cops, most of these areas are known for being areas where call the cops live. They even get special discounts for buying homes.
