Who cares whether or not this is illegal? The truly shocking thing about this, is how all these cops don't know better than to do something that is painfully obviously wrong! Without being told what you're doing is not okay. Where's your moral compass???

[@Arizona_Vineyard]

Huh? Death is the unknown and man is obsessed with it. Why do you we have open caskets? I used to pour over old photos of dead bodies in many ways when I was younger. It was very fascinating.

Idk I'm curious to view the photos. The autopsy sketches just further my curiosity.

@Rob Wright First of all one has literally absolutely nothing to do with the other....😑 Second, were you not told as a child two wrongs don't make a right??? George Floyd's death was wrong and setting fire to your own City isn't going to bring him back. But if I'm to understand you correctly, your drawing and equivalency between these cops and rioters??? Point well-taken! You're right they're both completely in the wrong doing what they're doing. However, the truth is police officers are supposed to have a higher sense of right and wrong then your average citizens. So I ask again; what moral compass directs you to think it's okay to not only take pictures of someone's loved ones final moments on this earth, but then to braggadociously share them as trophies??? I only pray for the sake of society that you are not responsible for guiding any young minds into adulthood.😐

That a member of law enforcement (or ANY decent human) could do this makes you wonder what ELSE he could do. Or NOT do something he was supposed to do. Good people do NOT do this. You don't really CARE about people if you can do this. I'm a supporter of law enforcement and I believe the only thing wrong with law enforcement is that they have to recruit from the human race! But always wondered when you read about others joining in wrong or unlawful activities whether or not ANYONE is capable of doing horrible things given the right situation or opportunity. Like gang rapes or murders where there's more than one killer involved. I have to go find some happy stories to read or watch. God bless all the good people!

Something is truly wrong with the human race. Since social media people can’t wait to be the first to show graphic photos. There is truly no respect for the victims families. The that these are law enforcement officers doing this is very disturbing. They should be held accountable for their actions. When individuals are in the position of law enforcement or the medical field they are held to a higher standard. My heart goes out to the families.

He’s a good, empathetic person. Need more people like him in this world! ❤️👏 I understand a dark humor being a requirement for officers and others who deal with traumatic situations and death on a daily basis. Without it or another healthy way to cope a person would turn to drugs and possibles additional negative coping mechanisms. However, the deputy’s behavior is much more than a coping mechanism! What he did was more similar to psychopathic behavior.

[@chinookh4713]

first responders have lived this reality of death everyday even more so with covid-19 they don't always see how disgusting their behavior is because they are numbed. First responders are 10 times more likely to attempt suicide then the public, and are more likely to die form suicide then the line of duty. I seen people say "well they shouldn't be an officer or they need better training" no training in the world will fix these issues what they need is consoling I don't think we should bash them for this, yes they did wrong but we need to help them see it.

[@chinookh4713]

@Tomasino Romano that was the 90s and we both know the 90s was a different time either way you can just say all officers do just because of the people you dealt with

[@chinookh4713]

@Tomasino Romano So 906,037 LEO show up at your neighbor doorstep? Yeah I ain't surprised their are professionals that do this stuff I even witnessed it my self but seriously not all officers are the same? And I am coming form a military and first responder background too and who are you to say they are worthless when you say you sold it to them honestly if you really though about it without drug dealers the world would be semi better then what it is now...I aint here argue about the morals of drug dealing but you enable this and still call them worthless? kind of hypocritical if you ask me.
