Election 2020: The Capitol Police Suicide Squad

First, from the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.03.21, Paul Mirengoff at Power Line asks Why Were DOJ Warnings To Protect The Capitol Ignored?. Somebody named Nancy Pelosi needs to answer this question and others like it under oath. Not that I don't believe she'd lie. 

Why didn’t the Capitol police follow the Justice Department’s advice and protect the Capitol? Why didn’t the FBI make sure the Capitol was protected?

I don’t know the answers to these questions. But I understand why some suspect that the FBI wanted a portion of the Trump supporters in D.C. on January 6 (a very small portion, as it turned out) to invade the Capitol. Just as the FBI apparently wanted extremist idiots to proceed along the path of a plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Jeffrey Lord at Am Spec finds Kinzinger, Cheney: Aiding and Abetting the Pelosi January 6 Cover-Up "What did Nancy Pelosi know and when did she know it?" From HE, POLL: 58 Percent of US Voters Believe Jan. 6 Committee is Biased. 42 % know it's biased and don't care.

Also, from the Victory Girls: Fourth Capitol Police Officer’s Suicide Raises Questions, as the Peackock happily crows Two more police officers die by suicide after defending Capitol during riot by pro-Trump mob, tally now 4 Stephen Green at PJ Media, Fourth Capitol Hill Riot Police Officer Commits Suicide: Welcome to Insanity Wrap Conspiracy Central. What did they do to offend Hillary? 

The MPD has 3,800 officers, meaning that the force has had a suicide rate of just over 4 per 1,000 in just the last few months.

In 2019, the national suicide rate was about 0.14 per 1,000.

Even with 2020’s higher suicide rate (we couldn’t find final figures in time for today’s column), an MPD officer is about 25 times more likely to die by his own hand than a typical American.

The ratio skews even more toward the extreme when you consider that not nearly every one of the MPD’s 3,800 officers responded to the riot.

But who’s going to investigate? The same MPD that’s taken such poor care of its own officers? The FBI that may have enticed and entrapped protestors into becoming rioters?

If you need us, we’ll be in the darkest corner of the basement fashioning hats out of tinfoil.

Insty, SO HOW LONG BEFORE CUOMO COMMITS SUICIDE? "We’ve come to a situation where any politically connected suicide is presumed to be a murder. The government has lost the benefit of the doubt."

Twitter delenda est. Breitbart, Documentary Director Ken Burns Blast Mark Zuckerberg as ‘An Enemy of the State’ He's right. But not the way I think:

Burns’ beef is that Zuckerberg and Sandberg aren’t practicing enough censorship of the people and ideas that don’t align with Burns’ politics, or that of Stacey Abrams’.
