I saw the "full" video during a training session here in GA shortly after this occured. It was the most gut wrenching experience. Kyles last sounds will be with me forever.
It was announced on the Atlanta news today that the execution of his killer has been scheduled for January 13th. Maybe justice will prevail , albeit 17 years to the day to late. Prayers for the Dinkheller family during this time has they will be faced with reliving it.

Saw this officers death quite by accident while researching another subject. The video left me traumatised and upset; I don't think I'll forget the sounds and sights.

Please rest in peace Officer Dinkheller; you were a brave man in a brave proffesion, who left this life long before you should have.

I pray your loss will not be in vain.

I retired from Law Enforcement in 1998. I saw this video for the first time yesterday. My immediate reaction was to critique what I thought the Deputy did wrong. But I was left with nothing but sadness for him and his family. Many will watch the video and use it for training purposes. But I hope that what is not lost is the fact a young husband, son and father lost his life that day. God Bless. Rest in peace.

I was told that someone had posted the video to REDDIT today. I had to go back and look at it again. I used to show this video over and over again at our Advanced Training Branch in Artesia, NM. (now the regular academy for Border Patrol. Every time I showed this video and saw it I would look at the faces of my students....it was unbelievable. Seasoned agents were speechless. The video was probably one of my best teaching tools on how fast things escalate. I had not seen it in years but I thought of it almost every time I pulled someone over. I saw it again today and it still shocks me, it's like the first time I ever saw it. What a waste of life. My prayers to the family.

I took a "Street Survival" seminar where I originally saw the dashcam video. As disturbing as it is, I still go back and watch it as a reminder of what could happen. I also show it to new officers as a reminder to not hesitate and go home at the end of your shift. If you truly are in fear of your life, then it its time to take it up a notch. Don't wait. Take action. Listen to the cues you are given. Trust your gut.
RIP brother. You have taught us a valuable lesson. It will not go forgotten.

My condolocences to Deputy Dinkheller's family & friends.

The video is very disturbing. It haunts you after watching it. As for destroying it, why when it can save other officer's lives. Destroying it will not change what happened, it will not erase the killer's cold & callous disrespect for life.

Justice can only be served when the killer is executed the same way. Lethal injection? Please, that is like going into hospital for surgery knowing there is a risk you may not come out of the anaesthesia.

I watched the dash cam video today and I am truly shaken by it. This chilling video showed that Kyle truly had compassion and respect for human life, even though it ended up costing him his own. I am sure he was a great person that did his job with genuine integrity. My thoughts and payers go out to this hero and his family. God be with you all.

Bem, sou policial no Brasil e com frequencia fico sabendo da morte de colega policiais, mas é muito diferente de ver um vídeo como este. Somente hoje, dia 01 de agosto de 2014, tomei conhecimento deste vídeo. É chocante ver a vida do policial Kyle ser tirada dessa maneira por um monstro. Senti muita dor quando ouvi os seus gritos de desespero, suplicando para que o monstro não lhe tirasse a vida. Foi embora tão jovem. Que Deus acolha a sua alma e o coloque no melhor lugar que existe no Céu. Apesar de muito tarde, deixo os meus respeitosos sentimentos aos seus familiares.

I am currently a college student getting my criminal justice degree to one day be able to serve and protect the streets I grew up in. In a couple of my Criminal Justice classes we have watched and learned from his video. There is no doubt that Dep. Dinkheller's death was not in vain and he will live on forever as current and future officers continue to see his ultimate sacrifice, the lessons it has taught will save countless officers every day out on patrol. His choice to try and save a life at all costs even when it meant giving his own is one that shows true courage and care for the citizens he swore to protect. We learn from Dep. Dinkheller's death and because of his ultimate sacrifice thousands of officers are able to continue to uphold the values he stood for. Gone but not forgotten, R.I.P.B.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Deputy Dinkheller. My father, the police chief of Potts Camp, Ms was also killed during a traffic stop less than 5 years before the Deputy in 1993. I do believe there is a special place in heaven God has for our protectors and peacemakers and we will see them again. God bless.

Kyle, I wanted to thank you for the privilege to have bicycled in your name during the 2013 Police Unity Tour. It was an honor to have bicycled the 330 mi. from NJ to Washington, DC and visit The Law Enforcement Memorial which bears your name. Throughout the four day ride I reflected on your story and can only hope I did you proud for it was so important to me that you were recognized for your service. Rest in Peace Kyle, you are not forgotten... Respectfully, Marc Loveland

I viewed this video for the first time earlier this week in a class I attended at our police academy. At the end of the video the class was totally silent. I have been an officer/detective for 29 years with our department and as I near retirement this video reminds me of how dangerous this job can be. As others have posted I too use this terrible event as a reminder of what can happen on any given day in this profession. I pray for the peace and comfort of your precious family and the safety of officers every day all over our nation. Thank you for your dedicated service may you rest in peace and may the person who committed this horrible act be justly punished.

To my nephew that I miss so much. Today is 16 years ago that you were killed in the line of duty. Not a day goes by that we all don't miss you or talk about you. I wish you were here to see your children grow up. I love you and again miss you so much. Until we are together again....
