No Cops Died ‘in the Line of Duty’ during the Capitol Riot

There are few jobs as stressful and emotionally wrenching as being a police officer. As I’ve sadly had occasion to observe before, that is why the police-suicide rate is markedly higher than the suicide rates in other professions.

It would also be hard to imagine a more draining experience, physically and emotionally, for a police officer than that of being overmatched while under siege by hundreds of rioters as they storm a building that you’re duty bound to protect — putting your life on the line to save the lives of others.
