Ah, yes, just 4 unrelated suicides all by (former) coworkers on the same day.

Must have just been Suicide Vibes Day again.

It's not completely implausible. The LASP has I think 30,000k henchmen, and Cops have a high suicide rate.

4 in a month, I'd believe it. 4 in a week, a bit strange.

4 on the same day and it's LASD? I highly doubt it's a coincidence.

Valid. It's just as likely it's some kind of fucky gang execution.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is LASD not included in the fucky gang category? Haha

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In this specific case the LASD has numerous gangs operating within the corps of LASD deputies. So a distinction needs to be made between the LASD as a whole and the smaller groups within it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Oh, true, true. I meant it as the smaller gangs in LASD but you're right.

No. It's not plausible at all. It's incredibly not plausible. There's around 700,000 police in the US and on average one cop out of the entire country kills themselves every three days.

To say that three or four cops/sheriff's from the same department unrelatedly all killed themselves on the same day is not plausible at all. They just hit their entire states yearly average in a single day. Only a dumbass would think "its plausible", or even possible, and the only way around that would be if they all knew each other and had planned this all out.

Kind of unnecessarily rude. It is statistically possible for this type of thing to happen, even if a more sinister and non-random reason seems very, very likely.
