  1. How does he look 45 when he is 28.

  2. I'm going to guess the girl told the guy he hated her family so he drove all the way to her and done them in.

  3. Wow, This jerk through his whole career away over some young little girl🤮

  4. Oh my gosh that poor kid. Just chatting with another teen online….and then it turns out he's a dude who murders her mother and grandmother…and then he himself is killed in front of her. That poor girl.

  5. I can only imagine why he got downgraded from state trooper to sheriffs office….

  6. I wish he wasn't killed, that way he could've been convicted for life in prison and then he could've been butt fu*ked repeatedly by all of the other prisoners that hate cops to begin with.

  7. Why is this on a phone screen, Jesus NBC…
    I know you have nothing but children working there but wow…
    the level of unprofessionalism is just right there, right in your face.
    God, i cant wait to see you go under.

  8. That dudes face is about the same as most psychopaths. You can see it.

  9. Online and digitally? A distinction without a difference.

  10. Where is Chris Hansen when you need him?

  11. The thumbnail makes it look like this other cop did it. Bet he doesn’t love that @NBC news

  12. Better get a nice lawsuit going ,

  13. Typical pig, always above the law

  14. police on police shooting is hard to believe

  15. This is why psych evals should be mandatory for anyone wanting to be in law enforcement.

  16. Virginia troopers academy selection process must be a real piece of work

  17. I just wish these psychos would take their own lives… or get help … rather than ever taking/ruining other innocent lifes to try to "fix themselves". Our problems aren't out there, they are ALWAYS within. You got problems fine we ALL GOT PROBLEMS… deal with your problems yourself, or get help, just like everyone else. Quit screwing up the world in some imbecilic attempt to fix whats broken within…. the universe isn't structured that way… maybe we should teach this concept a little more in life? Yes?

  18. The only thing worse than a bad guy with a gun, is a bad guy with a gun and badge 📛

  19. Most cops are the worst…I think half of them become cops to try and get away with things being a cop…..FTP

  20. wacko and from being a deputy. He looks like he escaped from a wack hospital 🏥 he is a younger age, dumb.

  21. Well boy he sure did a great job serving and protecting, also a M855 green tip 556 will go through a level III vest.

  22. Typical cops, they all believe they're above the law.

  23. Coast to coast is 3000+ miles… He was a disturbed indevidual

  24. The badge give you more power …🤔🤫

  25. Hashtag ####Catfished!!! Got em! LOL!
    Seriously NBC? Putting hashtags in a story like his? You guys are tone deaf and disgusting. What's wrong with you?

  26. 25 years ago he’d get away with it that’s the best part

  27. Calling it catfishing makes no sense.

  28. This young lady will live the rest of her life feeling guilty and blaming herself. Gut wrenching. I hope she gets the therapy she will no doubt need.

  29. This man needs to be casino ‘d

  30. No matter how much background checks are required sick people will still find a way through the system.

  31. AND THIS IS LAW ENFORCEMENT

  32. The USA=Land of the nuts and fruits

  33. Only in America!! The police officer are the real criminals!! Sick 😷

  34. Ex law enforcement officer by the Virginia State Police and County Sheriff's Office. So stop saying a Law Enforcement officer who committed the murders and kidnapping because he wasn't. He was nothing but a sycophantic sick person.

  35. WOW … what an absolutely horrific, scary, tragedy.

    this child lost her whole family!

    So sad! 🙏🏽

  36. There's no way that he didn't have a poor human resource record from the prior LE agency he worked for. Even the Riverside Chief of Police can't get any information, that's how tight lip the guy's former employer is being.

  37. Qualified immunity ain't gonna help that

  38. They give the keys to the theives . Cops are paid thugs for the crooks above them
