Another republican pig!
Truly sad and heartbreaking 💔…. While he look like he’s missing a few nuggets from his happy meal the parents didn’t deserve this or the young lady
🥳
Cops these days. Smh
so many people have their face on instagram and personal life which can be stolen and used to catfish
Keep your kids offline!
Legit….a HORROR SCENE.
It’s the girls fault. Bet she feels really stupid cause she is.
Badge of honor 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️ 7.62 that trailertrash blue power💩
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Wow, another cop goes and kills people and we’re supposed to keep relying on them for protection? It’s time for political reform!!!
Don't put the responsibility on the girl. She thought he was a teenager. She trusted him so she gave him her info. So the message is if you're a girl, don't trust anyone????!!! How are you supposed to live like that???!! I'm just so frustrated that the responsibility ALWAYS lands on the girl….a child!!! Maybe he shouldn't have committed murder. Maybe we need to stop sexualizing children. OMG. I just can't with this.
Cops are wolves in sheep clothing. Never trust them. Its too easy for bad people to get a badge.
RIP to the family so sad. That young lady will never be the same again we failed as people. It's very important to protect the civilians from people like this. Random psychological evaluations needs to be implemented on all law enforcement personnel by a 3rd party not affiliated with local jurisdictions. These monsters should be NEVER be in consideration to hold that type of power.
People fall victims to scams all the time. Like literally all the time. I would never blame the victim and the poor girl deserves to only have help and love to get through the grief she will experience.
The internet causes more harm than good.
20 bucks says she left him on the whole time, doesn't make it right but the old saying goes you make your bed you lay in it 🤷 I doubt she's " innocent"
As soon as I saw his picture I knew he did just that
People don't know human nature or history
Name one civilization , time
Where the servants , police , guards , anyone who served under a government or body of people for law enforcement or justice purpose always been a bias definition of justice
There's never been saints or angels protecting us
There's always been people who abuse their powers , abuse people trust , harm others for no clear good reason etc etc
Unfortunately it's always been around in it's human nature . Not justifying anything. Just hasn't been a time where this never happened ' cat fishing is fairly new I guess but the other crimes
This is a wake up call for the public about the mental health of law enforcement officers . Are they stable in the head. For this officer to do and plan this is a reflection on Law enforcement EVERYWHERE.
Been told y'all they the FU**ING #PROBLEM.🖕👹👮🐷🔥🔥🔥🥓☝🏾👁️💯⚖️🙏🏾🦁🐑🗡️🛡️💪🏾🪖👑🕊️
They move crooked cops from one precinct to another just like pedophile priests. TRUST NO ONE.
Just. Don't. Communicate. online. with. strangers. When I was young we had bowling alleys, ice skating rinks, roller skating rinks and dance halls. We could socialize safely in groups…
This world has had it and is almost in the biblical Great Tribulation! Luke 21:36 KJV
Looking at these comments I cant believe people out there are trying to blame this on an under age child, wow thats effed up.
Now I see why my tinder matches don’t wanna meet 😂😂😂😂😂
After this happened, my parents had a serious talk with me about things I shouldn’t wear due to how men view young woman, be cautious to who I’m talking with online, don’t online date, and such.
Sexist Republicans are blaming the girl.
What kind of sickos are they pinning badges on these days 🤔
N.W.A. wrote a song about this, can't quite remember how it goes but I sure do feel it now.
Imagine living in a house you don't pay for, using a computer you didn't buy that is connected to internet you don't pay for, to meet a stranger that kills the financially responsible
Did his police department have body cameras? What about everyone this pshyco put in jail how.many crimes did he make up?
