suicide cops

This is from a news story but not sure where to post it because of the phychology factors surrounding it, So what is your "philosophy" about these events.

The numbers (stats) for police officers taking their own life has shot up during the past couple of years. When the departments found out that a few hundred policemen committed suicide during the past year they became alarmed and now want to train supervisors how to look for "signs" so that intervention can be employed. Why is this happening we ask, and the experts claim it is due to "all the stress".

Now this reminds me that the military has the same problem, and they are also doing activites simular to a policeman, using aggressive force to sudue insurgants and criminals.

Any comments?
