God Bless you kind sir and your family. I had the horrific experience of seeing this P.O.S. Out of his mind to do something so senseless. I have after seeing this , that his son had graduated and is going on to continue to do good and service the community. God Bless your whole family. And know even though I never met Randall I do pray for him every single night. This horrible sad sight has haunted me if since I have seen it. God Bless this man and his family. My heart goes out to them all. Just typing this I am tearing up as great people like this makes no sense at all why something so senseless would occur. I would love to know what this P.O.S reasoning behind this senseless and meaningless act was for... God Bless you Trooper Vetter. Never met you, but you will for always and ever be in my thoughts and prayers.

Our men in uniform across this country are a precious resource to ALL of us. They protect us while we are driving, sleeping, working or just sit ply having leisure time with our loved ones. Regardless of race, creed, immigration status or nationality, they serve to protect all of us and our way of life. Trooper Vetted was performing his duties to protect the very man that so coldly killed him. This was premeditated, as the killer had threatened to shoot any officer that would pull him over while not wearing his seat belt. With no regard for Trooper Vetter or his family, this monster snuffed out this beautiful man in just moments after being pulled over.
God Bless Trooper Vetter's awesome family.

Can not believe this guy wasn’t taken down after shooting this trooper in cold blood. This would’ve turned out different in Las Vegas.

I have seen his name a numerous amount of times and often thought who he was and why the memorial on I-35. I just read this story and Its a horrible tragedy and loss over not using a seatbelt.

I have just watched the video and am very sad for his wife and now 18 year old son. Randall Wade Vetter deserves to be remembered as a hero for defending our security and for being willing to place himself in the way of danger for the rest of us. I hope that he is always remembered as a hero.

This policeman did not deserve such death! Very sorry for his family. (Let cop Lisa Mearkle be killed! She deserves to die! This woman is a disgrace of the police uniform !!!

Just watched the video on YouTube. It was hard for me to watch and hear this video all for a seat belt violation.

My heart, my condolences and my best wishes go out to his wife and son. Truly one of the saddest videos I have ever watched.

Retired officer from Maryland. I just stumbled across the video on YouTube. I can’t believe that the other troopers didn’t take out the old dude. Plenty of justification to do so.

Sinto muito pela família do bravo policial, num caso como ele deveria ter agido antes do idoso criminoso. Infelizmente o crime seifou sua vida. Que Deus continue abençoando a família.

I feel for his family and only wish the shooter was much younger. So he would sit and rot for many more years..

I spent 11 years as a military police officer in the Ohio National Guard, and I NEVER faced as much danger as civilian police officers have to face very day. I don't care what these brave men and women are paid... it is not enough. When a tragedy like this happens, we have to remember the families and take care of them for as long as necessary. God bless our law enforcement personnel. Without them, civilization would just not be possible

I'm not a law enforcement officer of any kind. But I've got friends who later became deputy sheriffs in King Co. WA and I really have a lot of respect and appreciation for all of you brave men and women who put your lives on the line every day to do a mostly thankless job. You all get ripped apart in the mainstream media every day just for doing your jobs and If people could see things through any one of your eyes for just one day they might realize you guys aren't monsters. My prayers and condolences to Mr. Vetter's family and fellow officers. Thank you for all you do and just know that there are still a lot of us that do care and that we all dont hate you guys. Much love and respect to you all. Thank you.

Trooper Vetter, it's pretty cool that your collegues, friends and former co-workers showed up to see your son graduate high school. Its a shame that you couldnt be there, but they stepped up and did the best they could to be there and honor your memory. Keep watch over is and know that you haven't been forgotten.

What a waste of a great officer. I can't believe the other officers didn't shoot the old man with the gun immediately. That is insane. I never met Randy, but sounds like an awesome person with great kindness for his fellow peoples. I ran across the dash cam footage and felt compelled to say something after reading about him. Only 28 years old, what a loss. Condolences to the family.

Up late night as I'm preparing to enter the field, and ran across the footage, it sucks it really does to see something so violent, many have paid the price that they shouldn't have. Rest in Peace Wade, your truly missed bub
