Until we Abrogate the rampant abuse/misconduct of the NYPD, and start holding the N Y P Ds Joseph Franco Kevin Blake Daniel Pantaleo Theresa Lustica Elijah Saladeen (criminal abusers) accountable, more NYPD officers will die at their own hand.

Police of New York and the rest of the country for that mattèr were hated by the obama administration. 8 years of that hate resulted in dozens of police executed, some of them sitting in their cars.. now N.Y. has a leftist mayor that hates police too. No one should be surprised

My heart is breaking for the family they need our prayers!!

What if it wasn't a suicide?

Easy solution; stop over working our cops. Stop forcing over time. No cop should be allowed to work more than 12 hours.

It was 10 like 10 new suicides ago - you guys are losing track

Sad to see so many suicides but they are choosing to take there own life unlike a lot of innocent victims that don’t have that choice that are killed by blue

They know they do wrong and can not live with it!

Damn, karma

Have any of these NYPD officers seen or personally know about Weiner’s laptop or Hillary’s emails

So very sad for people who find they have to take their own life !

Good news for once

The worst part of suicide is you pass your unending grief on to your loved ones. Please don’t let that be your last gift to humanity. ❤️ Call someone, call anyone, just please don’t give up.

God bless his Brave Soul and keep his Family close.

Sad..It's a tough job. I know several police officers. They are also bothered by the fact that they have no duty to protect you if not in their custody while people think it's a given.

What was so stressful

🙏🏻

Heartbreaking when one of our blue feels there’s no way out but to talk he’s or her life when there’s clearly lots of support. 😔🙏🏻💐R.I.P.

💔

Haters gonna hate. Miscreants who lump ALL of something into one group are as bad as the ALL Blacks, ALL People of Color, ALL Immigrants, ALL Italians, ALL Irish, ALL ANYTHING! You’re just as bad as trump, racists, misogynists. May Karma find you. RIP to the LEO & family.

“Well, at least he won’t be charged with murder...” anthonyjeselnik

10 down, how many to go?

Very sad, condolences to the sergeants family, friends and fellows officers.

Oh my goodness ... What is happening to these brave people ? So many people have feelings of complete hopelessness and despair in this country. We need positive leadership and Love for our fellow 💙 neighbors. Care for each other ❤️!

Thank you for His Service, May God help his family, that all close to him find strength. He didn’t go anywhere, he just changed to the Highest Precinct. NYNEVERFORGOT

♥️

are these the good cops or the bad cops?

Stop hiding the truth! We all know who controls the media...

So sad

Well we know that police departments have an unwritten rule not to hire anybody with an IQ over a hundred. These people are often confused. What a shame.

You have to be able to live with the stress and you do that with any problem by talking, I do it with wife as she is in the same service as me but all Services will have a confidential employee support line, Make use of it and don't let your family go through the guilt and grief

10? Damn son what the fuck was going on there

Gets tough keeping all those secrets for the NY(pig)D

When u don’t hit your mandatory arrest quota it can be rough.

his spouse is probably relieved

My condolences to his family.

Was he a veteran? Suicide rates for vets ate high.

good

Sad💔

RIP 💔

Damn!

Breaks my heart

What is the NYPD doing to combat this crisis?

CNN pretending to care =

😢
