Isn't it very unusual that four capital building guards committed suicide after the Jan 6 riots?

Sure seems that way, but this kind of an event was pretty unprecedented and "unusual" to begin with.

I'm not sure disillusionment with the country is really enough to describe what happened, and what's continuing to happen, and law enforcement is really facing this problem harder than most.

We can go back and forth on numbers, but the bottom line is that a substantial portion on American voters are really supportive of going to extraordinary means, including violence, and it played out nastily on 1/6.

I don't think it's over either, and suspect that the next couple of years are going to be hard on law enforcement.

I would say.
Imagine being a capitol officer, bound to the maga message, and the people you believed to be your brothers and sisters wishing you dead for upholding your oath, because, blue lives matter.
Disillusion can be a powerful thing.

Not saying those that took their lives fit this scenario....
