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.
Were they MURDERED??? I Want DETAILS!
I don’t know! I do not (did not) watch much television. Mena and cocaine. The Clintons and Arkansas.
And the other thing—I didn’t stress enough—was that while the Capitol Police were naturally defending the Capitol on January 6th, only a couple of hundred MDP officers where there, too.
The Majority were off shift or elsewhere.
Is the media stating these 4 officers were all defending the Capitol on Jan 6, or just their departments?
Huge difference.
I think I can see the narrative the media is trying:
“Dirty, evil Trump insurrectionists killed fine upstanding policemen. Film at 11:00.”
What are friends for?
Maybe they realized they were working for the wrong team.
Yeah both were found with a .22 round in the head and a nine millimeter in their hand.
So, is this gonna be like if you had dirt on Hilary you died? Only this time it is the old bag Pelosi? Are they the ones who mentioned that it was her that called off security?
Or, is this the natural reaction if you are not allowed to go before the Jan6 kangaroo march and cry for the cameras?
Definitely a narrative pushed by the media.
Would national media have reported these suicides, otherwise?
When did the Left even care about LE officers?
They sure didn’t care about them last year during those riots.
Agree.
This is very strange.
Police officers and EMS people witness worse than the ‘insurrection’ routinely. How many of them do we hear of killing themselves?
Since no LE’s or elected officials were seriously injured or killed during 1/6 they will use the suicides to try to tie anything negative that happens to the LE’s for the next two years on the “insurrection”.
Now, what is the nexus of the suicides to the 1/6 “insurrection”. Most LE’s have been in worse crowd control situations, (many in D.C.), that involved much more severe injuries, racial taunting, eye irritants and bruises then anything that occurred on 1/6.
Appears they only clear the path for them self.
Post Of The Week™.
And note how quickly the MSM has memory-holed Nanzi's Jan. 6 potemkin comintern this week...
The fact the politics of the police officers committing suicide is a big fat hint they might have been conservatives.
