Thank you for that. My dad was a cop and he had two friends that died by suicide. Later in his life, he was going through depression and we worried about him too. To a cop, suicide is an acceptable, maybe preferred way out.

I've known a lot of police officers. It's not an easy job and one I freely admit I would not be good at. People who choose that line of work deserve our respect, not being mocked. A lot of expected of them, a lot of power is given to them - literally the power of life and death, and the consequences of making a mistake is grave.

It is possible that both of these cases in DC were because of honor. They believed in one form of America and another was forced on them in their line of duty which was such a strong conflict, they chose suicide.

I'm not going to speculate as to their motives. It's sad that they saw that as the only way out.

I wouldn’t feel sorry if it was the guy that executed Ashli Babbit

You probably believe Seth Rich was killed in a robbery attempt.

And Vince Foster committed suicide.

“Possibly they both lost faith in America while having to fight their countrymen.”

Agreed. And with one of their own killing Ashli - that probably put them over the top. RIP.

“It is almost certain that these officers DID NOT commit suicide.

They were murdered to keep them from reporting what really happened.

They were also killed to send a message to other Capitol Police Officers. Stick to the dishonest official story. Anyone who tells the truth will not be around long.”

You are a skilled detective for sure.

Crushed in door...by fellow cops, not "the mob". Look for yourself.

Two officers took their own lives? I knew about Liebengood killing himself on Sunday, January 10th, but the second one is news to me.

As opposed to the “mostly peaceful” demonstrations last summer.

The shooter was reportedly a Capitol Police Lieutenant.
