so it is worth pointing out that 4 at once is really really really statistically unlikely, also the LAPD has gangs, maybe the worst gangs period, and gang retaliation is something those gangs are known to do

Yeah I'm a little hesitant to celebrate this. Were these 4 Dorners that were about to go public and were silenced?

Also possible they saw the wrong thing at the wrong time and got 'suicided' by higher ups so it'd be easier to be corrupt and what not.

LASD is the agency in this case, they are even worse than LAPD. But yes this situation is very sus I agree

Hope one of them set up a dead man's switch before they got suicided

I like that the article spends so much text talking about the importance of suicide prevention and mental health stuff. But otherwise is just acting like it isn't beyond weird for there to be that many on the same day. If these pigs weren't about to leak something or had stumbled onto something they weren't meant to. Then I still think it could be some kind of attempt to get both some level of sympathy from the public AND more importantly get extra funding. The money would be marked for "mental health" stuff, but would actually be used for other shit of course.

LA cops wellness checks? How much blood does this guy want?!

[-] context@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

In recent years, studies have shown that more officers have died by suicide than the number killed in the line of duty. Officers also have higher risks of suicide than the general population, a disparity that some researchers have attributed to the stresses of police work

[-] context@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

that said, clearly there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of any other explanation for their deaths, so i withhold further comment

[-] JK1348@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

I'm from LA, these ppl all died within areas that are highly populated by cops, most of these areas are known for being areas where call the cops live. They even get special discounts for buying homes.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
