There's a lot of dark days in Detroit and other parts of the world ... Not just when a police officer is killed. ALL lives matters. A lot of people is suffering with this violence. RIP

[DVX]

I'm an Air Force Veteran who's been to 3 wars, and being a Cop in a major city is becoming far worse than going to war. And this is societies fault on many levels.

I survived Detroit for 30 plus years...I love my city vegas is home now...my condolences 2 the DPD family...my god

I lived in Detroit for 30 years and yes it was violent then, but this is just another sad incident of a demon spirit that probably should've been locked up, my heart goes out to the families involved, I'm so saddened, they need to bring the death penalty back and have it immediately administered to that individual, these are truly the Last Days.

RIP to the officer. Thank you to the other officer who put the maniac down.

[davemark]

What about all the men and women police kill unnecessarily who also won’t be going back to their families? Dont hear much being said about those victims? This shit needs to stop on all sides

[elove]

My prayers for the families of the officer. Good job partner for taking out the garbage.

[sueathomas]

My heart can't take much more! The little heart that I have left goes out to DPS and the family of the Heroic Officer who put his life on the line! The Line between doing his sworn duty to protect and his loving line to go home, again! He towed the line to defend his fellow man! I'm so, sorry 😔 💔Praying for everyone!🙏🏾

Ain't nobody life is greater than the next person. Two people died not just a police officer. I'm praying for both families
