  1. Disgusting Pigs!!! πŸ– πŸ”« Devils!!! Smh

  2. You have to be pretty mentally ill to even be a officer so it's per standard for the course

  3. Simps and incels are getting out of control

  4. That poor girl. She will probably live her life thinking it was her fault. How tragic.

  5. What about a wake up call for the Blue?

  6. I think they should have just suspended him with pay that was such a over reaction for our men in blue.

  7. That's why you date people in the real world.

  8. If i was doing that guys interview to come on to the force I would have denied him on looks alone. How sad

  9. So, yeah, law enforcement covers their bad cop with silence. Then, he goes off the rails to murder innocent people. Remember Uvalde elementary where the straight up lied to cover their crimes. Nothing has happened to those cops Nothing will happen to the cops who knew this guy was trouble. Silence.

  10. Lots of police that are worse than criminals but still have the job

  11. We all know that it's the government and police behind all these missing people. But nobody wants to be honest. Everybody keeps playing dumb and looking the other way.. america is a sick place

  12. I am not surprised by this news. This is becoming more of typical behavior from these animals

  13. Horrible… all this from a tiny fibre optic cable.

  14. Need more stringent psychological test for officers. Can't imagine what it would be like to be pulled over by him. Probably harassed children all the time.

  15. This is why people don't trust the police. It should be just as hard to become a cop as a doctor. I'm NOT saying it should cost as much, but it needs to be a million times more difficult for the mentally ill to get a badge and a gun, than it is right now.

  16. Interesting how they don't just call this what it was, a pedophile trying to abduct an underage girl. This is totally a "to catch a predator episode". Why are they obsessed with the catfishing narrative? Are they trying to recapture that "term" from the social media/filter narrative? Just curious.

  17. The amount of dumb low iq uneducated americans is wild, yes go ahead get rid of all the cops im sure it will go fine for u…dumber than npcs in bethesda games

  18. he looks like Great Value Ben Shapiro

    not surprised that a cop is capable of such a thing

  19. I guess it’s time to reevaluate the efficacy of the mental assessments given to become a state or local officer. This guy joined two agencies and no one knew he was a p-word?

  20. This is not allwhite, praying for her recovery.

  21. I mean, this is pretty regular for a cop

  22. This should Clearly be a wake up call for all CEO’s that own these social media apps ! You need to get better verification of accounts , No more fake accounts of fake people !!! πŸ’―πŸ™ #catfishproblem

  23. Teenage girl who sadly died by troopers are now in heaven

  24. He wishes all girls could be California girls

  25. Pigs are predators 🐷 πŸ‘Ž

  26. I saw that guys picture and I wasnt surprised he just looked like a creepy fckn loser

  27. This doesn't surprise me at all. Cops are vicious brutal murdering psychopaths.
