Officer who responded to US Capitol attack is third to die by suicide (opens in new tab)

Is it? I can see how unexpectedly defending the capitol against a sea of protesters ostensibly trying to overthrow the results of an election would be traumatic. Soldiers get PTSD from their combat experiences, it's completely reasonable for a cop to have the same thing.

It is very odd. to the point where it looks staged (Epstein kind of staged)

I wouldn't wish a job of being an officer upon anyone these days. I can only imagine what law enforcement officers' family members and loved ones are going through on daily basis

Police officers have been a recent target of a nationwide smear campaign ("pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon,") and now they are a target for the terrorist group that attacked capitol, the group that supposedly came out of a social circle that was suppose to support the system and traditional institutions. Cognitive dissonance is big with this one.
