Actually... Sorry to ruin your conspiracy theory party but police officers commit suicide at a rate far exceeding the general population. Two deaths in an agency that size isn’t out of the ordinary.

There's just under 700K law enforcement officers in the US. In 2018, 167 LE committed suicide. That's 1 in every 4K LE officers.

The Capitol Police employs about 2K officers. So one would expect about 1 suicide in the Capitol Police force every 2 years. Two suicides in less than a month is certainly out of the ordinary.
