Pinellas sheriff: Illegal worker hit, killed deputy on construction site



Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said an illegal immigrant, working under a fake ID, hit and killed a Pinellas County, Florida deputy who was providing security for a construction site. The incident was an accident, according to the sheriff, but the worker then fled the scene. He was later found not to have a driver’s license and was not licensed to drive the equipment he was using when it happened.

  1. Remember law enforcement I trained to look for evidence so they know how to cover it up also. To blame a group of people for what one person does that's illegal. It's racism it's profiling. And that's illegal in the United States so law enforcement is breaking the law

  2. May this excellent officer rest in peace. Bless his family that is left without him now. AND may ALL those who had anything to do with this illegal operation, be held fully accountable!! The guy who hit him had been deported and was BACK and STILL hired again! A lot of blame to go around on this one!

  3. The attempted cover-up is the worst part. Be a man, admit your mistakes when you make them. He planned on dipping back south across the border.

    They make a bad name for the good people who wait ten plus years for citizenship.

  4. You should she how Parrish does nothing.. the cops do nothing. Dr Horton does nothing. The illegals are all over Parrish fl in all the dr Horton subs. Driving 50mph in the subs.. drinking on the job. The C&A gas station in parrish almost runs out of beer thats how many drink and drive and work in all the new construction subs in Parrish. Cops allow it. No one cares. When a kid gets run over by an illegal and or one thats been drinking.. dont say I didnt warn the world.

  5. Hey sheriff my heart really goes out to the family about fallen officer however, did you ever stop to think how DeSantis given you one and a half million dollars to help sort out illegal immigrants in the county maybe this wouldn’t of happened but instead you support him taking legal immigrants out of Texas playing games with them using Florida State money and set an alarm north and you stand behind him share yet now you have a dead officer froFrom an illegal alien worker right here in Pinellas County to crack down on this because it’s been spent by your best friend DeSantis screwing around political BS maybe you need to rethink your support of the governor or are you afraid he’ll take away your money or suspend you for being a bad car I mean that’s what he does if you don’t agree with him

  6. I hope the family sues the government for shipping them into Florida!!! Sue BIDEN!! RON DESANTIS is saving lives!!! Place them all under arrest, and file charges against the construction company with shared responsibility. We need a Florida bill allowing you to detain illegals until they are processed legally. Name it after the officer.

  8. Nothing is going to happen. Today, many Latino families have someone who has come across the border illegally, and they, receiving help from the government, are already working even without a work permit or proper documentation, not only in construction, in many places such as Latino markets and restaurants. Appropriate complaints have been made, and nothing happens. RIP the officer and condolences to his family

  9. Mexican, Mexican that's all that mostly us white folks know how to say , but who keeps them here ? We do, we pay for the baby to be born, food, housing, schools, so stop 🛑🛑 complaining!! And yes the Mexican do pay taxes, how ever they get paid its not the Mexican fault, its the Boss fault, us the white took over the Black 🖤 man , the Red ♥️ man , now the brown 🤎 man that's why American is suffering sooo much, for not loving his neighbor 🙏🏻 God wrath will hit us really bad one day for our sin to the human life.

  10. My preys go out to the deputy's family & I hope the judicial system does not fail them. Sadly this is yet another victim of the open borders policy that the demarcate administration & ultimately Biden have advocated from day one.

  13. That company that was working them should be put out of business and the owner should have to spend time in prison and sale everything he has got to take care of the deputies family, I know of companies here in Georgia that is doing the same thing, they use illegals because they will work for a lot less.

  14. So Thats how contractors work. They get tax revenue to do a job, and hire non legit immigrants to do the work for 8$ a hour. Unfortunately our democraps in office use immigrants for they politics game, so its not a big deal anymore. Catch and release.

  15. The county hired a company with a bunch of illegal aliens to do their Highway work. That's why the guy ran because he was here illegally! Probably didn't even know how to drive a front-end loader! Probably just faked it to get the high-paying machine operator job!
