A fourth police officer who defended the US Capitol during the 6 January insurrection by extremist supporters of Donald Trump is now confirmed to have taken his own life.
Washington DC’s Metropolitan police department (MPD) confirmed late Monday that another of their officers, Kyle DeFreytag, died by suicide earlier in July, just hours after declaring that MPD officer Gunther Hashida killed himself on 29 July.
In January MPD officer Jeffrey Smith, a 12-year veteran of the force, and Capitol police officer Howard Liebengood, a 16-year veteran, both of whom also responded to the 6 January attack, died by suicide.
Anyone else think 4 veteran cops suddenly killing themselves because of this sus or i have i just been CIApilled so much that i think everything else is sus?
I looked it up, suicide rate for cops is 17 out of 100,000, and the MPD has 3,800 cops, which makes 4 deaths in a year about a factor of ten higher than average. Who knows how legit this source is (addictioncenter.com lol) but
California, Florida, New York, and Texas suffer from the highest rates of officer suicides, with each reporting at least 10 police suicides last year.
So if 10 is a high year in big districts, then 4 in 7 months in a smaller district seems at least noteworthy. They're on track to hitting the suicide rate of the worst districts at this rate.
What do you think, hexers? Weird coincidence, those cops definitely killed themselves because they had to fight other cops/against their own ideology, or those cops were killed by someone else? :eye:
The thing that gets my tin foil hat on the most is 12 and 16 year veterans. 16 years of being a cop and suppressing protests in DC and this is the one that's so bad it makes you end your whole life - not just retire or try to transfer, but literally kill yourself? After 16 fucking years of being a cop? Idk comrades, seems sus to me.
This makes a thousand times more sense to me than any sort of conspiracy to off the pigs. Like, their testimony didn't even help. Nothing fucking changed. Why bother?
And just like that, he became a good cop, boys and girls.
Imagine sucking boot for 16 years and then getting thrown under the bus by everyone who was supposedly "on your side"
Your internet friends think you're a false flag antifa, your IRL friends think you're a lib for trying to stop the american revolution 2, and you can't talk because the other pigs will make your life hell
Do you think it's PTSD related?
Like the idea of fighting off a crowd of white people was so bonkers to them that it's completely obliterating their brains?
Obviously there's the bullying, but I went through and read some of the accounts of the ways they were acting before suicide and they seem legitimately traumatized lol.
These guys have spent years having the idea that blacks and socialists and feminists are bad and "subhuman". So when faced with doing what they've always done, be violent, against a group of people they consider "human" it just suddenly all clicks into place?
Or maybe they don't understand the relationship there, maybe they legitimately just feel bad for having to fight their "fellow man" kind of situation. That'd be fucked, but probably more likely.
They're within the individual news stories that were released for each of the guys, so just Google the names and read the long form article
Seems sus, but for now I'll just enjoy the vibes
:officer-down: :do-not-do-this:
For people who thrive on power and control, receiving orders to do nothing and allow people to do what is being called a coup, then get blamed for that coup, would be pretty disempowering. But these being “suicides” is also super possible
Yeah it definitely feels like someone is tying up lose ends but at the same time I get why I might not be.
Those officers probably built their whole lives and sense of self around being a capital police officer. To fail so spectacularly and then to have the republicans , which they almost definitely were a part of, completely hate them and not care about them. That's gotta shake there entire will to live
Lmao
Why would he make fun of it when he's the one that gives them to us?
Because he, like Hillary Clinton, has studied the tactics of famed Marxist Saul Alinsky
I am way more "we shouldn't make fun of this shit" than some of you I feel but the image of a cop getting beaten by chuds with blue lives matter and thin blue line flags will never not be funny
I like to believe I'm empathetic in the majority of situations but that doesn't mean I just stop observing clearly hilarious things.
You know how people say there are good cops because not all of them are actively flaming racists in their ghost costumes and the 14 words tattooed? This is what "good cops" do when they realise they are part of a mechanism of oppression. The gears start turning when the ask "if I agreed with the last protests, but had to put them down because of law and order, why was I given orders to just let these ones through?" and then they realise they are an essential part of the pain and horror afflicted on their fellow man, which a part fo them cares for, and they can no longer take it.
Did any of these guys leave notes? I'd legitimately be interested in reading the last thoughts of an American cop as they realize they are in fact a fascist.
I don;t know if they did, the press and the police unions would never let us see them if they did. I heard about a cop who sent out a video talking about how much he hates what was happening to black people in this country before killing himself, so that's something.
I wish I could believe this but I just dont have faith that cops could have that kind of self awareness. I think the bullying from all sides thing is enough of an explanation to why they did it. They likley never got "woke" to their fucked up system.
:big-cool: what did you think would happen when you protected fascists and then got in their way.
More likely their coworkers tbh. Cops behave like any other gang when it comes to stepping out of line or breaking omerta.
I was going to post that video of the cop guarding one of the entries into the capitol by leaving the door open, standing aside, and mumbling "no, you're not allowed in" when a journalist asked if they're allowed in, but the results have been flooded with a different cop getting pushed against a wall by the crowd he let in.
Yeah, there are definitely a few that saved lives, but the media seems to be forgetting about all the other cops they talked about being in the coup back when it first happened.
This is the equivalent of a rich guy having a dog and then the dog does something stupid to try to impress him and then he has it put down lmao
