The Mind Blowing Statistics Behind the ‘Suicide’ of Fourth Police Officer at the Capitol on January 6
While not impossible that it's all just a coincidence, many are finding it hard to believe in coincidences these days.

Was there a conspiracy that engulfed these four officers and others? Could these officers have been “suicided” to keep the truth from coming to light? Are other officers being silenced through threats or other means? Or was this all just one long series of coincidences?
Statistically speaking, the chances of it all being random seems very far fetched. I’ll go over the numbers that make these questions worth exploring, numbers that nobody is talking about until now.
The MPD has 3,800 officers, meaning that the force has had a suicide rate of just over 4 per 1,000 in just the last few months. In 2019, the national suicide rate was about 0.14 per 1,000.
Even with 2020’s higher suicide rate (we couldn’t find final figures in time for today’s column), an MPD officer is about 25 times more likely to die by their own hand than a typical American.
The ratio skews even more towards the extreme when you consider that not nearly every one of the MPD’s 3,800 officers responded to the riot.
But who’s going to investigate? The same MPD that’s taken such poor care of its own officers? The FBI that may have enticed and entrapped protestors into becoming rioters?
I don’t have an answer to the last question, but I was able to put together some numbers. We know that at least four MPD/CPD who were present at the Capitol on January 6th have died and their deaths have been ruled as suicides. We know that around 500 MPD/CPD officers were present at the incident, according to TMZ. So, approximately 0.8% of the officers involved with the riots have died by suicide, an absolutely astounding number.
How does this compare to law enforcement suicides in general? There are approximately 800,000 law enforcement officers in the United States, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Suicides among law enforcement officers had been trending up with a peak in 2019. But 2020 showed a decline and 2021 is on pace to be slightly lower than last year.
According to Blue Help, there have been 87 law enforcement officer suicides this year. That means a mind-blowing 4.6% of law enforcement suicides have been MPD/CPD officers present at the Capitol on January 6. There have been 83 suicides among 800,000 officers across the country but we’re supposed to not question when 4 out of 500 MPD/CPD officers are ruled as suicides? Considering there were many questions being asked about the events on January 6th before the last two suicides were reported, this has to add fuel to the fire.
To put it into perspective, the 2021 statistics tell us that 0.01% of of all police officers have committed suicide but 0.8% of law enforcement officers at the Capitol on January 6 have died with their deaths ruled as suicide. That means that those present at the Capitol on January 6th are over 73 times more likely to die by suicide than other law enforcement officers.
That’s by far the highest concentration of suicides. It’s higher than in Chicago where law enforcement officers endure daily verbal and often physical abuse. It’s higher than Los Angeles with gang violence that sends many law enforcement officers into clinical depression. It’s even higher than Minneapolis, Seattle, or Portland where both criminals and law abiding citizens have turned against law enforcement like never before.
We’re supposed to sit back and pretend like all of this sounds normal. They say we’re conspiracy theorists if we ask questions about statistically improbable scenarios like four Capitol officer suicides. Based on these numbers, I’m okay with that label.
That makes it clear that something nefarious is going on and I don’t think it’s “suicide”.
