Despite the weeks that have elapsed since the Capitol riots, the death toll continues to climb tragically as another police officer who responded to the scene has since committed suicide.

Three police officers who responded on January 6th should be alive today.

My thoughts are with the family and colleagues of Officer Jeffrey Smith.

We must give members of law enforcement and Capitol staff the support they need to cope with the trauma of that dark day. https://t.co/fraVisUkpA
