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.”
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.
