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.
The witness list grows shorter...
#14. Just asking: They knew too much???
We need to know the physical and mental health status of each “claimed” suicide person. If they were veteran police officers, then why kill themselves? I don’t see officers from Marxist besieged cities like Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, etc. killing themselves.
The old adage “Don’t believe the hype” could apply here. We need facts, not leftist news media babble and bullshit.
My condolences to the families of these officers and any other who died in the line of duty or because of associated problems. My son was a federal police officer and a very good one. Our family “BACKS THE BLUE”.
Sometimes known as Arkancide.
No...the Mechanic must charge by the hour!
Probably not necessary anymore. There is a new hangman on the dole.
At this point I would say that these are assisted suicides.
And why only that department?
We know why, and the Democrats hate the police but will use them for their political benefit.
Yet, law enforcement suicides nationwide, are ignored by the Democrat Leftist media.
38 law enforcement officers nationwide lost to suicide so far this year
April 21, 2021
More have died by suicide since that report 4 months ago.

(No keys in the pockets when found at Ft Marcy Park (Whaa? Why was the car there? Craig Livingstone showed up at the autopsy and returned the poor mans missing keys!) Read a story that Autopsy missed a 22 cal shot to the neck IIRC?? (unsure about this.)
We have been watching stuff like this on F/R for a little while now. Sadly these poor boys decided to sleep on the railroad tracks. "sarc off"
“Dead men tell no tales...of obeying stand down orders from members of congress they can identify. “
One more time for the people in the back!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
hopefully not the old arkancide: 2 shots in the back of the head
I suspect they were under a lot of pressure from Pelosi and her team, and all the confusion about 1/6 may have gotten to them.
There ought to be an investigation, but we know who would be running it.
A phony investigation will just get more witnesses murdered.
Just thinking about Vince Foster who committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head.
Those are the boys featured on Unsolved Mysteries, no?
Hadn’t even heard of BillyBoy at that point. I remember that episode quite well. Surprised Robert Stack didn’t go missing right away.
lol!
I suspect these are the Special Operations Division police for example who FOLLOWED Ashli Babbitt,Trump supporters and others including Antifa/BLM (provocateurs) up the stairs and watched her get blown out of the window by a fellow officer on the other side and then rendering first aid to no avail. There seemed to be no communication with various police as some strong armed,others passive and most clueless like in the corridor where Ashli was murdered.
And then put a 38 in his mouth and pulled the trigger ...
Good point. Checking the numbers... In 2019 in the U.S., 228 LE officers died by suicide, most of them in NY, CA, TX, and FL:

I can't find numbers for the MPDC or the numbers for 2020, but an alarmingly high number of LE officers take their own lives.
Still, we don't know what exactly happened to these four DC officers. Not enough details, yet.
Condolences to their families...
That seems to be the place for people to die after they've become a liability to the regime.
Guys who were doing their job on 1/6 find themselves turned into political puppets by the Democrats. Now they find themselves asking... https://themajority.scot/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Are-We-The-Baddies-758x426.jpg
