Compassion for Capitol Defenders Dims as Hashida Dies
Leonard Pitts Jr. reflects on Gunther Hashida, an 18 year veteran of the District of Columbia Police, who died by suicide after responding to the January 6 Capitol attack. The piece contrasts police sacrifice with conservative derision from Tucker Carlson and others, urging empathy and urging help for those in distress. It notes Hashida’s death follows four other officers who died by suicide and calls for better support and accountability.
