Another NYPD "suicide" https://www.foxnews.com/us/nypd-sergeant-kills-himself-mental-health To understand what is happening with now the 9th “suicide” in the department since January (which doesn’t include other deaths due to mysterious circumstances), there are a few approaches to consider that may offer some clues, assuming that there is something not coincidental about any of it, of course.  If we were to accept that white hats are in control or even actively on the hunt, we would have to rule out #1 to some degree for the following reasons: Assuming that the safety of potential witness/whistleblowers would be paramount, the white hats would have not let these deaths run to such an extent that it has - as after a few deaths, much greater whistleblower protection would have been put into place. But even this has to assume such protections weren’t in place in the first place. Additionally, if white hats were in control, those who would attempt to silence these cops (if that were the case), would surely have since been discovered or caught in the act (again, if such whistleblower protections were to have been put into place).  Also, after a few deaths, even more whistleblowers would rise up, having seen their brothers in arms be systematically routed out one-by-one in the last 8 months. Of course, we must also consider that both sides within the department could currently be taking losses in a internal shadow war amongst their own. If there was a dead-man’s switch involved, then it surely would have gone off by this point, if these deaths were not sanctioned by the white hats.  Ultimately, if these officers were good guys who were fighting the good fight, may they Rest In Peace alongside countless other silent warriors out there who have earned our undying gratitude. However, if the above rationale holds, then it may be that we are merely witnessing the slow dismantling of corruption and/or justice being served. Edit: This post does not address a “put into witness protection” notion and doesn’t necessarily discount it. However, the idea of fake death for the sake of (judicial) witness-protection lacks legal precedence as of yet. Additionally, it does not address the possibility that they are being silenced by their own DS confederates. Regardless, the premise holds - that it may be that these deaths involve those who were not good guys and that white hats are indeed in control
