Certainly makes you wonder if they believed or found out that they were intentionally understaffed by those that they are there to protect, or possibly just the shear trauma of being under attack and it just scared the hell out of them.Kismet wrote: ↑Wed Aug 04, 2021 7:42 am Just curious if there were 4 suicides in your squadron/air wing when you were in the Navy what would your opinion regarding an investigation in that case have been?
You don't find it worthy of exploration in this case as to what might be going on with the police forces in question here?
If that was the case, those officers would have surely said so last week.
Yes, that would have ticked them off!
That's not been a question any of them have raised...there have been questions about why there wasn't better intelligence and whether there had been some sort of bias about the likelihood of violence from a white "conservative" crowd, but not intentional understaffing. There have also been questions as to whether they were hung out to dry by the slow political/military response in support (surely it must have felt that way at the time, whether it could have been faster or not).
But I don't think any of that compares (according to the officers under oath) to the trauma of seemingly endless violence and being called traitors and other epithets, whether racial or other, by fellow Americans carrying American flags. And then rejected by a large contingent of Congress as having done their jobs bravely and honorably, pooh poohing the traumas they experienced, etc.
