There was an article on the Capitol Police, and the effect of the insurrection on them in this week’s
NYT’s Sunday magazine. I’ve been looking for an explanation of why so many of them killed themselves after the insurrection. The article gives data that helps you guess, but I didn’t find a direct discussion of the topic after getting half-way through. It was just too gruesome to continue. The big clue is that they’ve been working these guys to exhaustion. Double shifts, working a full shift on what was supposed to be a day off, etc. I hope their union, and some patriotic senators, can get these guys some mercy. It is invasive of their privacy to go into too much detail, but we shouldn't turn our backs on this.
