Two more Washington, D.C., police officers died by suicide in the months after defending the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot by Trump supporters, bringing the grim tally of such deaths to four.
One of those cops, 43-year-old Gunther Hashida, was found dead at his home last Thursday, according to a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan (D.C.) Police Department.
Hashida, joined the MPD in May 2003, and most recently was assigned to the emergency response team within the Special Operations Division.
Hours later, the MPD confirmed that another officer from the same department, Kyle deFreytag, died by suicide, and was found July 10.
DeFreytag, 26, had been with the department since November 2016.
A crowdfunding page set up Sunday to pay for a memorial service for Hashida, and to support his family, as of Monday night had raised more than $68,000 from more than 1,500 donors.
The GoFundMe page, which has a $250,000 donation target, said Hashida “leaves behind a loving wife, sister, 3 children, and a wonderful family.”
An online obituary for deFreytag said he “liked hiking, camping, riding his motorcycle, he liked traveling and playing the drums, he enjoyed trying different ethnic foods and always knew the best places to eat.”
“Kyle was kind, he had a quick wit and a great sense of humor & kept us laughing for 26 years,” the obituary said.

More likely they each knew they had helped the communist takeover of America by not coming forward with the truth. They could not live with themselves knowing what they have done. Where are the suicide notes?

Question, I have a question!
What was their mental status before they allegedly killed themselves?

Wow, that’s a heck of a coincidence. Just as the show trials get started. Will thr country remain free if no one takes up arms? I am not certain.

Yup. Must have been related to the activities on 1/6. Or fear of CV19. Or fear of the ‘jab’.

It will be spun as how horrified they are that such awful people broke in to take pictures of statues and sleep under paintings.

Where are the suicide notes?That’s how I saw it too, that these guys knew they were participating in a false narrative, and they couldn’t live with themselves over it. Either that, or it was plain and simple arkancide.
