A fourth law enforcement officer who responded to the Capitol on Jan. 6 has died by suicide, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) confirmed to The Hill on Monday.

A department spokesman said Officer Kyle DeFreytag, who had been with the department since November 2016, was found dead on July 10. Police confirmed DeFreytag, 26, was among a host of MPD officers who were sent to the Capitol in response to the riot.

WUSA9, a CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C., was the first to report that DeFreytag died by suicide last month.

"I am writing to share tragic news that Officer Kyle DeFreytag of the 5th District was found deceased last evening," Chief Robert J. Contee III wrote in a message to the department in mid-July, according to WUSA9. "This is incredibly hard news for us all, and for those that knew him best."

The news comes on the same day that MPD officials confirmed a third police officer death by suicide in the wake of the riot. Earlier on Monday, it was reported that Gunther Hashida was found dead in his home Thursday.

Hashida died two days after the House select committee probing the Jan. 6 attack held its first hearing, during which four police officers from MPD and Capitol Police delivered dramatic testimony about the riot and their experiences defending the Capitol.

Officers testified that the attack had left a profound toll on the law enforcement officials who responded.

Capitol Police Officer Howard Liebengood and MPD Officer Jeffrey Smith both died of suicide in the days following the January incident.

All thanks to the Turd Reich and his domestic terrorist mob.

Again with the false narratives. 

Prove that these officers weren't suffering after the "Summer of Love" riots by BLM and Antifa. Every single BLM and Antifa rioter is directly responsible for their deaths as well. Every single Democrat that enabled them; their media shills that kept up their "mostly peaceful protesters" BS and demeaned police; and every last lemming leftist that hung on their every word and backed the "Defund the police movement".

Can the crocodile tears. The left didn't give a rats ass about officers until they could be used as a political tool to their advantage.

It is a tragedy that these officers are taking their lives. It is a further tragedy that those on the left to try and use their deaths as a means to a political end.

Bullshit as well as a squirrel moment.

Can't handle the truth change the narrative. Blame others.

Could you at least pretend to care about the officers instead of some partisan buckshit?

And once again for those in the back that seem to have their fingers in their ears...

The two have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

And comical and pathetic accusing others of making it political when that is exactly what you did.

Yes, what your are stating is complete and utter bullshit. Point to one damn shred of fucking proof you have that the officer committed suicide due to Jan 6th. Just one.

Can't handle the truth change the narrative. Blame others.

Which is exactly what you and the damn left are doing. Quit politicizing these officers when you never gave a flying fuck about any of them during all of the leftist riots.

Could you at least pretend to care about the officers instead of some partisan buckshit?

Again; stop politicizing these officers the left never gave a fuck about until they became useful political tools.

And once again for those in the back that seem to have their fingers in their ears...

Please, the only ones with their fingers int their ears are the left; who again never gave a fuck about any officers until they became useful political tools. Has that message sank in yet? Do you need it repeated a few more thousand times? Do I really need to drag up every leftist "protester" screaming "Defund the police"; their lists of demands; the Democrats that supported them in the media; and the leftist media talking heads that parroted every last word?

The two have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Prove it! Because you have offered zero proof the suicide was related to Jan 6th. How do you know they weren't suffering from the first time they were attacked during the "Summer of Love" riots in DC? Think that no officers were attacked or injured in those riots?

And comical and pathetic accusing others of making it political when that is exactly what you did.

Pot meet kettle. That is all the left is doing is politicizing these officers. Keep saying the same bullshit over and over, you are only proving my point.

You keep posting that same bullshit.  Who do you thinks reads your links - which I'm sure don't say what you allege what they they say.

You have some serious problems.

This article is from the right leaning hill. If you don't like it talk to them and stop posting asinine shit on my seed.

And people wonder why to use groups? The trash you post is exactly why.

And for the hundredth time, THE PROTESTS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH  6 JAN AND ARE NOT THE SAME SHIT NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY ON MAKING IT SO.

It seems to me, I posted this and you jump on here with your verbal diarrhea and trash what could have been a nice tribute to the man.

Feel better for that? Feel better for not even saying sorry about his death? Feel better for using his death to attack other people?

Now I am going to lock what could have been a nice thread all because you seem to have zero sympathy and zero respect.

That 'summer of love' bullshit again.  Do you have anything original?  Do you have anything other than projection, deflection, and denial?
