Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Sir, First I salute you! You were a very brave young man and you will aspire to be a guardian in a much better place. I ask you to watch over my shoulder as I put my uniform on everyday.

The video was hard to watch; very sad. It was difficult for me to see you die in such a manner. As I saw the incident unfold, my heart was pounding in my chest. I could almost feel the emotions that were going on.

I already had a great deal of respect for those in law enforcement, but that video made me respect law enforcement officers even more. A shame that your child will grow up without you there. May you rest in peace.

A Hero may fall but shall never be forgotten and you Sir were a Hero. I watched the video of the incident and it just made me sick. I too can assure you as a civilian I would have come to your aid and backed you up. I would have proudly stood next to you and assisted in the fight with this disturbed person. May you RIP now and my prayers are with your childern.

So senseless, I think of this dash cam frequently on patrol on even the most minor traffic stops. God bless men like you in a world like this

Hello Kyle, I knew I would never be able to forget your dash, I don't ever watch it anymore, but somehow I am drawn to it. There is a moment when during your reloading, you saw him running over and then your horrifying screams are all we can hear. Although we can't see you, we know what is happening and it is disgusting. You were just a kid, no older than myself, with everything to live for and that man took it away.

I've seen the horrific video from your interceptor's dash cam. I'm so very sorry that additional officers didn't get there in time... I know I can speak for every law enforcement officer when I say if we could've been there to back you up personally, we would've done so in a heart beat. I just want you to know what has happened to you while tragic, is actually helping to save police officers' lives today with better training and a heads up in awareness. We can't let evil like this get away and we won't. Rest easy Sir, we have the watch.

It's been fifteen long years since that night that you got killed. I know that several of us that were there that night still ride out to Whipples Crossing and reflect on how fast we can be gone in this line of work. We know you are with our Lord and pray that you rest in peace.

My mind will always be with you, even though we are both complete strangers.

I saw the video of that day and it flooded memories back too me of the two on duty police shooting i was in. Yesterday in my inservice class i saw it for the first time. It hurt my soul to the core. Im also a veteran of law eforcement and military. I served in GULF WAR 91 and SOMALIA 93. I felt soo sick and the memories came back and i wished that i could've helped you in some way! I'm still sick about it for you and your family. Its a reminder for all law enforcement to be vigilant. The murdering s@*t bag who ambushed you should've been executed after he was found guilty!! I got into my vehicle to go home and i cried for you buddy and for your family. GODSPEED

We watched your video in our academy class today and I cannot tell you how angry I was. I want to thank you for your service and I cannot express my feeling. I wish I could go back in time and be by your side to put this evil in his place, 6 feet under. You will be remembered.

I watched your dashcam video for the first time last week and have not been able to shake it since. I have been a Officer for 5 years and have gotten complacent at times...never again. I wanted to write something but could not think of anything which would convey how I feel by any means, so I am sharing a quote I saw below from a fellow brother. It is fitting for how I feel at this moment. It is as follows:

Deputy Dinkheller,

I truly believe that there isn’t a single sworn law enforcement officer in the USA who would not run through the gates of Hell itself in order to back you up that terrible day.

You will have my respect for all of my days.

Be at peace Brother
