But to simplify the point, just think of how many unpleasant, sometimes disturbing scenes from our daily lives lead to the decision to "call the cops".
There's a difference? I thought that Washington DC has the Capital Police Department. I wasn't aware of there being two of them.
Yes, the are two. The Capitol Police which JUST guard the Capitol and have their own leadership which extends up through Congress. Then there's the Metropolitan Police Department which is run by DC and answers to the DC mayor.
What I find strange? That there are Congresspeople and Senators trying to act like the insurrection was 'no big deal'.
And some are acting like a summer(of love) of rioting looting destruction and violence by antifa/BLM was 'no big deal' and our own Vice President bailed some of the participants out and encouraged other people to do the same. Interesting times.
I'm unclear why this is a "Gotcha!!" moment though. Presuming that both suicides were tied to the Capital Riot -- which is logically where the OP would be going with this -- if both cops were involved and both committed suicide thereafter (it's a reach, but that's what they seem to want to do), what difference does it make if they're from different police departments?
Sad maybe. It has to be depressing to know that the Republican members of Congress that you are there to protect were involved in a plot to kill you and gave tours and maps to the murderers. And that nothing is going to be done to the person who instigated the whole thing
And trump watched it all with delight on his TV while refusing to call the National Guard for back-up!
