Seventh NYPD Officer Dies by Suicide

A fifth NYPD officer has died by suicide in the last two months, escalating a recent crisis that has caused all levels of police leadership to speak out on the need for cops to look after their mental health and that of their colleagues.
The officer died Saturday afternoon on Staten Island, officials confirmed. The Sergeants Benevolent Association tweeted that the late officer was a sergeant, but beyond that details were not immediately available.
"The tragic news today that another member of the NYPD has been lost to suicide breaks our hearts, and is a deep sorrow felt by all of New York City. To every member of the NYPD, please know this: it is okay to feel vulnerable," NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill said in a statement released via Twitter.
This most recent officer's death follows the June 5 suicide of Deputy Chief Steven Silks, the June 6 death of Det. Joseph Calabrese, the June 14 death of 29-year-old Officer Michael Caddy at the 121st Precinct in Staten Island and the June 27 death of Officer Kevin Preiss at his Long Island home.
Last month, after the deaths of Silks and Calabrese a day apart, Commissioner O'Neill spoke exclusively with News 4 about the need for cops to seek help if they find themselves contemplating taking their own lives.
"To have two people kill themselves within 10 hours is just - nothing brings us to our knees, but this is close," O'Neill said.

This shite with the throwing water at them is retarded. These cops have so much restraint

And this is due to the media. These cops serve their community and get shite on by those they protect. It’s okay because the media says so. fricking bs

Something is very wrong. These guys either suffer from severe depression or PTSD or they are involved in something that is about to blow up.
This just makes no sense.

I am seeing it is the 7th suicide.

5th in 2 months vs 7 in a year.

It’s depression or PTSD. They deal with a life time of shite and evil.

I wonder how many of these guys look at or were involved with the Weiner laptop investigation.

Do their families collect death benefits for suicide? Maybe securing family future part of it

they know the mayor doesn't have their back, and neither do the race hustlers nor media nor a sizable chunk of the public
it has got to be a depressing situation

This is some weird statistical shite for sure.

Were any of these cops at the world trade centers when 9/11 happened. That is a cause for major ptsd. Do other cities have the same problem going on in their police department?

Future cop by suicide will include running into a projects yelling, "MAGA."
