A second police officer has died by suicide following the Capitol protest on January 6.

According to testimony obtained by Politico, Jeffrey Smith, a DC police officer who responded to the Capitol attack took his own life.

A second police officer who responded to the violent insurrection that rocked the Capitol Building on Jan. 6 has died by suicide, according to testimony obtained by POLITICO.

Acting Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee told House appropriators during a closed-door session on Tuesday that Jeffrey Smith, a D.C. Police officer, and Capitol Police Officer Howard Liebengood both “took their own lives in the aftermath of that battle.”


Smith’s death had not been disclosed prior to Contee’s testimony.

A third member of law enforcement, Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, died from injuries he sustained during the Capitol attack.

“We honor the service and sacrifices of Officers Brian Sicknick, Howard Liebengood, and Jeffery Smith, and offer condolences to all the grieving families,” Contee said in his testimony.

A couple weeks ago it was reported that Capitol Police officer Howard Liebengood died by suicide after responding to the Capitol riot.

The left loves to remind us that correlation is not causation.

This is an opportunity to remind them of that.

Is the implication here that these guys just couldn't go on with life after the heart wrenching scene they witnessed there that day?

WTF? I am in the behavioral health field and this is not what would be expected. I watched the “riot”/“insurrection”/whatever they are trying to pass it off as today live when it was happening. There was nothing that was so shocking or severe that it would lead 2 different officers to take their own lives. At least not under normal circumstances. It makes me wonder what they saw/heard/know that hasn’t been made public. It just doesn’t make sense.

I wonder if this is one of the officers I actually watched moved barricades and let people in? If so, was it 2 Bullets to the back of the head?

Is it sad that I don't take these reports at face value?

I’m reserving an opinion on this until BoarEd posts a video from Inglorious Patriots exposing what is really happening.

NTY

Now do the suicides because of the overbearing government enforced lockdowns.

fricking weird.

The death toll that day was very high for the situation. To have one death of indeterminate cause and two suicides among the police is a ridiculous anomaly.

I guess the debate on whether the LARPer B&E riot at the Capital was an insurrection is settled, despite that it hardly reached the level of sedition, much less insurrection.

Our country is so fricked.
