Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I, like many others, saw the videos of the incident which claimed this Officers life. It moved me to such an extent, I felt compelled to try and find something like this memorial page, so, I could express my respect to Deputy Dinkheller, and his family.

I am not connected to this directly as I am from Norwich, UK. But I have seen this footage and for me it is a perfect demonstration about the gun crime issue the US faces. In the UK I cannot remember an incident like this ever happening.

I have FULL respect for what the law enforcement agencies in the US face, however I find it very strange that you can have combat trained individuals driving around with assault rifles in their vehicles. A recipe for disaster.

This footage will haunt me for the rest of my life and I have full respect for the police and emergency services in the US.

I would also like to pass my condolences to Kyles family and wish them all the best in life.

Best and kindest regards,

Stuart Kemp

Why did it take 17 years almost to the day for justice to be served?
Rest in peace now Deputy.

I heard the call go out over state band radio that night. An officer was down in Laurens County and the Sheriff's Office there was calling for any and all assistance. Six of my co-workers and I loaded up in our patrol cars and struck out from Byron, Ga for the scene . When we got to Hwy 96 and I-16, we couldn't get on the interstate because of the almost never ending caravan of police and sheriff's cars that were also rushing to the scene from All over middle Georgia. After arriving, we laid in a wet cotton field till sunrise, guns at the ready, waiting for the killer to show himself. Kyle, We never knew you personally but we all talk of that night often and we will never forget you, our fallen brother. God bless you and your family

This has to be one of the saddest things i have ever seen. I really feel for Kyle because he seems to want to be patient with someone who was clearly mentally ill. I saw the video at the school where i just received a arm security officer certicate. Im 63 year's old and in honor of Kyle's i still want to best the best i can be. RIP Kyle.

As I graduate the law enforcement academy today I will think about you and the other fallen brothers and sisters in blue. What happened to you is horrifying, you showed incredible bravery. Today will not be about me and my classmates, today is for you. Thank you for your sacrifice.

I've followed this case from time to time during my career as it is one of the most horrifying ones I know. I am a cop in a Major City - Toronto , Ontario , Canada and have been since 1991. This Incident I think about often and I believe it keeps me more aware of evil in the world. I recently visited this case and was glad to hear the they finally put the evil person to rest that took his precious life. I know Kyle is in heaven - Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. And I'm hoping that his murderer is not granted entry through the gates of heaven.

Thank you for your service. I'm at a loss somewhat for words. What I can say is I appreciate what you and other officers have done & continue to so, which is to serve & protect. To many take you for granted. RIP Kyle.

Eu vi esse vídeo alguns anos atrás em um programa de TV aqui no Brasil e fiquei bastante triste. Nas imagens, percebe-se que o oficial Dinkheller fez de tudo para preservar a vida do motorista da caminhoneta e isso acabou ocasionando essa tragédia. Ele teve oportunidade de neutralizar o veterano de guerra, mais não o fez porque era muito jovem e inexperiente, ao contrário do veterano, que além de ser frio era também um bom atirador. Depois desse incidente tenho certeza que muitas vidas de policiais não só nos Estados Unidos da América, mas como de todo o mundo já foram salvas. Aqui no Brasil nós sempre tomamos esses casos como exemplos, e serve para mostrar o quanto é perigosa essa atividade de policial, onde muitas vezes oficiais que estão representando a lei são assassinados de forma brutal e covarde. Nas academias de formação de policiais de todo o mundo, essas imagens, além de outras devem ser mostradas em cursos de formação dos agentes da lei para que eles fiquem ainda mais vigilantes durante o serviço e assim o número de policiais mortos venha a diminuir bastante. A justiça tarda, mas não falha. O assassino do oficial Dinkheller vai queimar eternamente no inferno.

I just watched the video of the incident that took Officer Dinkheller's life. I am sorry that it happened, I cannot find the words to express my thoughts. I am just so sorry, my condolences to his family. I just really felt led to send my thoughts and prayers after viewing that.

I hadn't seen the video until today, very sad. I don't know how a man could kill another man, let alone a man of the law. Just goes to show you how sick this world is. I know he was executed a couple days ago but it's not enough, especially such a quick, painless death. He should've been stabbed and left to bleed out. I can't get this video out of my mind, hopefully this will help teach other officers. I can't fathom why such a rural area didn't have two officers per car. Kyle had his whole life to live and this selfish old man with no more potential decided to take his life.

I'm happy if it brings some sense of solace to the family and everyone it affected, it just shouldn't have taken so damn long. Its what every cop killer deserves.
