A Washington police officer who responded to the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol was found dead inside his home last week.
Gunther Hashida, 43, killed himself and was found on July 29, a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police Department told The Epoch Times.
“We are grieving as a Department as our thoughts and prayers are with Officer Hashida’s family and friends,” the department said in an emailed statement.
Hashida worked for the agency’s Emergency Response Team, an outfit in its Special Operations Division. He’s the third law enforcement officer who responded to the Jan. 6 incident to take his own life.
Washington police officer Jeffrey Smith committed suicide in the aftermath of the breach, officials disclosed later in January. And U.S. Capitol Police officer Howard Liebengood killed himself on Jan. 10.
Brian Sicknick, another Capitol Police officer, died on Jan. 7 from natural causes.
A GoFundMe fundraising page states that Hashida left behind a wife and three children.
The page described him as “a devoted and loving husband and father.”
It didn’t elaborate on what drove him to end his own life.
The page had raised more than $16,000 as of Aug. 2, with a stated goal of $50,000.
More than 535 people have been charged with crimes related to the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, which left more than 150 officers injured.
Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee told members of Congress that other officers suffered injuries such as bruising that they didn’t report.
Law enforcement officers showed “bravery in the face of this unprovoked and vicious attack,” he testified in January.
Four officers who took part in the response testified in a separate hearing last month, recounting harrowing scenes that they believe could have lead to their deaths.

Who knew that so many capital cops knew Hillary

These cops sound like pussies. Maybe they need careers at Build A Bear if conflict is too much for them.

Yeah…bruising…like in Portland…when the left called them storm troopers and gave zero fucks about them being attacked.doogie said:Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee told members of Congress that other officers suffered injuries such as bruising that they didn’t report.

The Senate Tuesday voted unanimously to approve a House-passed bill to award Congressional Gold Medals to the U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department for their actions in defense of the Capitol on Jan. 6.MikeDamone said:

The House on Jun 15 voted 406-21 for the legislation to award the police officers who defended the Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack the highest civilian honor that Congress can bestow.
It now heads to President Joe Biden’s desk for his signature.
These fucking people have no shame.

Defund the Police
Cops are hunting down Black men and murdering them
Have a Gold Medal -
The Gold Medal does come with a Capri Sun and a hug. That's nice.RaceBannon said:

Backing the blue for thee but not for me.

PS You suck at this.MelloDawg said:Not a lot of backing the
bluephucking hypocrite leftards in this thread.
BLM and Antifa though… dems are all in. -
It’s not about “backing the blue”. It’s about calling out hypocrisy and how the left is happy to shit on cops for over a year but when they need them for political props, they love them. I’d think a centrist could see the point being made, quite easily.MelloDawg said:Backing the blue for thee but not for me.

Defund the SS in every nation.

You think back the blue is a weapon to use against your political opponentsMelloDawg said:Backing the blue for thee but not for me.
Typical leftist -
Fuck the police, these pigs work for the tyrants, not the people, defund them

COPS have had a high suicide rate for centuries. Now the rats have figured out how to score political points off of those they have publicly professed to hate.
Seriously is there a rat that has an ounce of fucking integrity or honesty? Do they even care about their fellow man unless they can make political points? -
The Capital police were told that they would only be involved in peaceful protests.
Was this guy one of the cops holding open the doors that were breached? He realized his mistake after watching the 4 brave cops and ended his life?
or they were pressuring him to testify and he refused? Death by Pelosi
We should have an investigation into the insurrection, that is what I would like to see. -

HHusky and TKS could have authored that. Quite easily.RaceBannon said: -
HHusky thinks the above but would have to be retrained to write like that.
He’s pretty much limited to snarky retorts, questions, one sentence responses.
I doubt if lawyers will be of much value in an authoritarian government.
Anywho, he’s too old to retrain . . .
