Is it that bad to be a cop up in NYC?

Dang:

A cop killed himself yesterday on his way home after finishing his shift in Queens — becoming the fourth NYPD officer to die by his own hand in less than a month, sources told The Post.

Matthew Schindler, 39, a 14-year veteran and married father of three kids, pulled his car over at about 4:30 p.m. on the eastbound side of the Long Island Expressway near Exit 40 in Jericho and shot himself under the chin, the sources said.

Minutes earlier, Schindler, a highway-safety officer, texted his sergeant to tell him he would not be seeing him anymore.

“He was one of the nicest people we ever met,” said a family friend, Ryan Proce, 38. “He’s just an all-around great guy.”

Fellow cops were called back to the 115th Precinct station house in Jackson Heights last night and told the tragic news.

Flags at the building were lowered to half-staff.

“Oh, God, not another one,” said Bill Genet, head of a volunteer group that counsels troubled cops.

It was the fourth suicide to hit the NYPD in 2012 and the second in eight days.

Awful. Just awful.…and I’m not being sarcastic either. This stuff happens when people lose all hope for living. Nothing is worth that man, nothing at all.

Prayers for the man’s family.
