Comment Comment by exo-pla-net These officers faced BLM hostility on the left, as well as violence against them and accusations of being traitors from the right.The public that they're supposed to serve was spitting on them and demonizing them from both sides.Add a pandemic to the mix, and anybody's mental health would be flatlining. Suicide among some of them is tragic but not surprising.I don't know how effective counseling services are, but if they do anything, they should be made available to the Jan 6 officers.If anybody reading this is in a dark spot, the suicide lifeline is 800-273-8255, and it's available 24/7. parent exo-pla-net 5 years ago
