This is my first time watching this documentary. I was working as a PSO in accident division (VCD) at the time. I handed Kevin his shop keys that night and told him to be safe. Very sad night and days to follow for us all. RIP to him.
If your phone is still working for this TH-cam I just wanted to reach out and say how sorry I am for your and fellow Officers loss 😢 . I raise two Grandsons and everyday I teach them who the true heroes are and I teach them to respect the LEO's and first responders along with firefighters. My Dad is a retired Captain for the Los Angeles Fire department we were raised to respect.. please stay safe out there and make it home to your family.. God Bless you and all of your LE. family.
I've been a dispatcher with HPD for over 25 years. I remember this night. My heart goes out to Kevin's family at home and his family in blue. When you hear something SO tragic through your headset, it gets embedded on your brain. FOREVER. My mission, in my job, is to make sure all my officer go home to their families at the end of shift. GOD BLESS THEM ALL!
Truly a tragedy and my heart goes out to all you guys and his family. I'm not an officer but when the chief said his first thought was of the officers working the scene. That was poignant I had never even thought of it as a civilian. But that truly must have been crushing. God bless you guys everyday!
Thank you for telling this story. I am the mother of a police officer that was on this scene and that was interviewed in your film. I know this still impacts him and yet he continues to do his job every day for the greater good, despite the tragedies that will occur. Wonderful job showing the bravery and courage it takes to serve and protect. God bless them all.
treblmakr Much love and respect to you stay strong and safe you and Kevin will stay in my heart forever I'm going to become I police for this reason respect the BLUE,RED,ARMY All LIVES MATTER much love to u.
Very sad event; Great loss of an extraordinary police officer, I wonder if they had any time to maybe call the fire department to secure the road with their engines.
The City should be held accountable if it was a sanctuary city at the time. Every politician that voted to protect illegal alien criminals from prosecution/deportation under federal law. Illegal aliens are all 100% guilty and deportable when found.
Bruthas? WTF does that mean? If you are talking About American citizens, umm, we can't deport citizens. Illegal aliens are CRIMINALS. Each and every one of them is a CRIMINAL. They are all deportable when found. We need to bar them from entering and if they enter a second time, we should ship them off to Afghanistan where we pay the Afghans to keep them in prison for 5 years after first deportation. 10 years for the second. 20 years after that.
Fly high with the angels Officer Will. Rest assured that you made a significant difference in the lives of so many. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. Peace to your family, friends, and colleagues.
I just subscribed to your channel and I want to say thank you to all first responders you don't get the recognition you deserve, I have a cousin who was in the marine corps and after serving tours in Iraq and Afghanistan he came home and became an officer I worry every day that my family will get that horrible call that I pray we never get God bless you all for all you first responders do and God bless America🇺🇸
I was told by witnesses that for that first moment it wasn't clear what happened or who was hit. The way the badge appears was to represent how what had happened slowly became clear to the people at the scene. The photograph of the badge was taken by Officer Don Egdorf within a few hours of Officer Will's death.
@Soldado de Juan José Torres Jeez man, thats a bit harsh, I mean I don't think he did anything wrong, however I can tell that you should stop doing cocaine and jumping the border ya deadbeat mexican. BUILD THAT WALL!
@Soldado de Juan José Torres What a way to troll like a little keyboard warrior I commend you on helping us argue the point on why we should build a wall between the USA and Mexico.
I don't know how these people talk about this without breaking down and balling their eyes out on every other word. I bawl my eyes out 20 times a video
Oh my goodness, so so sad!!! My deepest condolences to Officer Wills family, friends, and colleagues. Thank you for your selfless acts to protect and serve.
Came across this tragic and horrific event! My prayers go out to all involved. The issue I have with Houston is the FACT they became a sanctuary city. They helped to shield these illegal alien criminals. They provide a safe heaven for them. How many Houston Cops have been slain by one of these Illegal alien criminals? When will we start to hold elected officials to include any Sheriff or Police Chief/Commissioner where victims can sue each and every one of them personally and without taxpayer money! All settlements should come from their personal insurance as well as all bank account(s). Not one penny of taxpayer dollars should be used. Police Officers should all resign if they work for cities that shield and or protect illegal alien criminals from and by breaking Federal Laws.
This one is so heart wrenching. Even more so because his wife was 6 months pregnant and only months later she had to deliver their precious baby without the love of her life. I pray that all the police officers and everyone who was involved find peace and comfort. God bless 🙏
Very well done. Makes you appreciate the daily sacrifices these officers make. RIP to Officer Kevin Hill and hopefully his family has found peace and moved on.
My prayers today are for Officer Wills family left behind and for their healing over these years, may God bless them and keep them and may they always keep his name alive with every family member and every ear. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE~EOW
As a retired police officer, my heart goes out to the officer's family, and the family of the Houston PD. And for what its worth, call me what you want......how did a twice deported, twice convicted felon wind up back on the street!?!?! God bless Kevin Will. And stop the insanity that allows animals like Rodriquez from killing others, police officers or not. I cannot conceive of the notion of "sanctuary" cities, countys, etc. when this sort of thing happens. I cannot.
Just think, this officer would still be alive...if our immigration system and laws were enforced. Rest in peace officer Will, and God bless your family.
@@Mr.Torres831 Please read/listen to everything before opening your mouth. Deported twice! Kept coming back. Any illegal immigrate would run from police knowing that if caught they would be deported. Add to that he was DRUNK compounds the the issue to run. So if the immigration system and laws were enforced, just maybe this officer would still be serving the community.
@@Mr.Torres831 No... what he's saying is that the person who struck him was an illegal immigrant. If the illegal immigrant wasn't in the country, nobody would have hit and killed him. I thought that his comment was pretty self-explanatory
@@Mr.Torres831 go fuck yourself dude, have some respect for the people that save countless lives every year and keep fuckheads like you safe every night. This illegal immagrant, who had been deported TWICE, brutally murdered a peace officer and all you can do is defend him. Shame on you.
@@CameronMatthews760 this is a story about a drunk driver. If you want to politicize it to gratify your hatred, and use the death of this hero for your own selfish ends, then you are the lowest of the low, and you go fuck yourself. This was a great man, and those of us who knew him know better than you why he is no longer here. Go tell your story to the magahags, buddy, and shut your fucking mouth.. Have respect for the people that save countless lives and keep fuckheads like you safe every night. They are not there so that you can twist a story to get your dick hard. Fuck you forever.
The Unit No this officer died as a result of circumstances and decisions that happened that night. Furthermore maybe if you weren't so bigoted you would realize that regardless of whether the individual is an immigrant or not they still are obligated to abide by the law, firstly. Secondly, let's not forget that these people applied to be officers and law enforcement personnel. No one held a gun to their heads to be police officers. And such incidents come with the territory. Grow up and stop dramatizing the incident. This is real life and not f**cken Hollywood. #stfu #sitthefuckdown.
😔💔.....Rest in peace Officer Kevin Will. 🕊💫 You saved a life seconds before your life was unjustly taken by a drunk driver. You left behind a legacy that I'm sure your family and loved ones are proud of. ❤
I think these series are great. In my opinion, the videos help to humanize the police. They help people understand the perspective of the police and what it is like, for them, to see these tragic events happen on a regular basis.
@@TexasPictures goal achieved! I really like all of your documentaries. I found your channel recently, and all of your content is very interesting. It’s been really great to watch. Thank you for making all of this great material.
I'm a former deputy sheriff, and what I don't understand is how this occurred with so much heads-up to an approaching high speed vehicle that was going to enter the scene. Personally, it seems that everything should have ceased and everyone cleared from the path of this approaching vehicle.
My heartfelt prayers go out to his family, friends and co-workers. Served 18+ years in Law Enforcement. One of the hardest things to do is attend a funeral for a fallen Officer. Hope and pray for his wife and child. Its a loss and scars that are never healed. For the suspect, deported twice and driving drunk...and here illegally. No drivers license, no insurance causing a traumatic accident ending a life of a person a Officer. He had no care or regard for his actions or what he caused. Fifty-five years doesn't seem long enough. Hope he doesn't get released on good behavior. No parole .
First prayer to the family's, second to the officers and third thank you all for your service. It's stories like this that should open the eyes of our government officials to carry out our immigration laws and close the borders.
The killer is an illegal alien! This makes me so angry! When are American politicians going to start putting Americans first!? This story breaks my heart and enrages me at the same time.
Drunk drivers should get harsher punishments. My deepest condolences to this officer’s family. That baby is growing up without a dad because of somebody else’s poor choices, not fair.
This breaks my heart. I think the Officers, the prosecutors, and the jury honored this Officer the best that they could! I’ll always think about this officer, his family, and all of the officers who work everyday for our safety! 💗💗💗
This series is a stone cold look at the consequences of impaired driving -probably one of the best out there. As a former air line safety professional, and a victim of an impaired physician, in a life altering car accident, I can absolutely validate the fact that this message is as current as what you order for lunch. This is not about my struggles, we all suffer in these situations. How can you truly ever recover from the loss of a loved one or a valued colleague? You can't. What I want to say is this: if you have an issue, or even suspect you have an issue with drugs or alcohol, ask for help. There are so many great resources that can change your life in a positive way. Ask for help. Reach out. There is no shame. The shame comes when you hurt or kill another person. It doesn't need to get to that point . Talk to your doctor, pastor, social worker, who ever. But get help.
I drive a semi cross country and dirve at night alot to avoid traffic and extreme heat in the desert areas like nv aZ etc. And I will tell u that this is more common then u think. Drunk drivers take people out all the time. Rip officer. Thanks for trying to make the roads better so guys like me can earn a living.
Amazing story. What an amazing person Officer Will was. The sacrifice Police Officers, Firefighters, EMS, and our Military make on a daily basis is something we can never know. I hope his Family in Blue will ket his children know what a brave honorable and self sacrificing man their father was..."Land of the free, because of the brave". My prayers are with your your entire family....RIP Kevin
It's hard to know from this video what kind of a person Officer Will was-if he was like most cops, he was probably often abusive and disrespectful of people's rights (check out some of the first amendment audit videos on TH-cam).
I remember watching this on the news in Texas and every time I watch this video I can't help but feel pain for all of the offices who was there that night and had to see Officer Hill killed by a drunk driver who should have been locked up for being in the country illegally. Even years later I still think of his wife And unborn child that won't get to bond with his or her dad.
RageMojo or maybe the fact that if that guy wasn’t in America illegally and committing crimes, then that officer would still be alive, happily married, and raising his child
Immigrants as a whole commit statistically almost no crime despite the lies the TV tells you. I am not excusing or condoning ANY drunk driver. But the need to focus on immigration status is born of racism. Whether you can face that fact or not.
LOL. Do you feel better now snowflake? Been 18 months, i dont think your getting a wall, much less them paying for it. good luck though when he goes to prison.
This is very sad. The driver was found guilty and sentenced to 55 years in prison. Of that he must serve 27.5 years before he is eligible for parole. But in stark contrast, NYPD officer Neville Smith, while off duty, got drunk and drove his car and consequently killed a 22 year old college student from Queens. His was sentenced to 4 MONTHS in jail and 500 hours of community service. Where's the justice? If anyone, cop or civilian drives while under the influence and causes an accident that takes someone's life, that person should forfeit their freedom FOREVER. Life without parole. And some wonder why cops are so hated. One word .... unequal justice.
You cant compare the judicial actions in two separate states from two separate persecuting bodies. BUT the short answer is this (same reason why the criminal in this case didn't get the death penalty), a justice system that has become incredibly liberal. Every criminal is a victim, who has a vallid excuse, and every victim shares fault. In both cases, it was determined the alcohol was at fault, en excuse for the actions of the criminal. Return the justice system to one that punishes crime, remove lenient Judges. Make abiding to minimum sentences for convictions a Constitutional requirement. AND at the end of the day, make the JUDGE criminal responsible for the repeat offenses of those they let back into society.
He'll have to do 46 3/4 years before he is eligible. Even if he somehow gets paroled, ICE will have a hold on him and give him a plane ride as soon as he gets "released".
I never knew Officer Will But I want to say I am sorry for the loss that the Department and his family has gone through, As a Veteran of the United States Army and having lost friends there I feel for you all Again I am Sorry for your Loss. Please Be Safe keep your eyes open watch out for each other and Thank You for the jobs that you all do.
Further proof that drunk drivers need to be treated far more harshly than they are. The fatality rate in this country just keeps climbing and climbing. After their first infraction, DUI drivers need to be jailed for a minimum of one year, with their licenses revoked for ten years. All DUI drivers who injure someone need to be charged with felonies. and sentenced accordingly. DUI drivers who murder someone need to be imprisoned for a minimum of twenty five years. Minimum. DUI accidents are not accidents, it is murder. RIP Officer Will.
Thank you so much for reposting our documentary about Kevin Will. Looking at your viewing interests I think you might find this documentary we produced several years ago very interesting as well - th-cam.com/video/CViBDmjeQ0I/w-d-xo.html
Who on earth has ever benefited from drinking alcohol... ? Drinking and driving even a lot worse... God bless those who risk it all to keep the public safe... 🙏🏿
My Maiden name is Will. Not a name you hear often. Such a tradgic loss for all concerned. My heart goes out to his unborn child. Never getting the chance to even meet you Dad is incomprehensible to me......
Thankyou for your service Officer Will. I didn't know you in life. But my heart goes to you and your loved ones in this horrific time. You were just doing your job and you didn't do anything to deserve it. RIP Officer Will. Sleep well.
Beautifully produced documentary. I know the pain for Officer Will's family and sisters and brothers in Blue will never be forgotten. I hope to see a more in depth feature by Texas Pictures Video on this. Great job ya'll. Life is never simple, is it?
So at least two officers saw the approaching car and undoubtedly radioed in a warning and Officer Will and others didn’t think to get out of the way? I can’t fathom how this happened.
Heart breaking. To know he acted so selfless in making sure others were safe is admirable. It's sad to know this officer lost his life while trying to get help for those in the wreck. Knowing his family faced the hard loss, they lost a husband, a son, a father. I hate people that drive drunk. They are selfish and have zero care of the lives they forever tear apart by their actions. It's senseless. If you want to act grown and drink then make sure you are responsible and don't drive. It's a choice that cost nothing of it'll cost you everything including your freedom or your life. How any adult or even teen that drinks can not make the right choice today, knowing the education out there about driving drunk, I'll never understand. If you can't drink responsibly then don't drink. Nobody deserves to lose a family member or friend to your carelessness. My thoughts and prayers go to his family and co-workers. Breaks my heart to know he never got to see or hold his child or there to comfort his wife through labor..it's something so much more tragic in this.
I've driven drunk lots-I truly believe I drive safer drunk than sober because I don't want to be caught by the cops. Besides, driving drunk adds an element of excitement to driving (which I often find boring to the point where I'm less attentive unless I am drunk).
i am sorry to hear that brother, i don’t know if you personally knew them or not, but either way 4 hero lives were taken and i hope the family and close ones found the peace they need. Matthew 5:9“blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the children of god”
From My Home State Of Missouri RIP Brother as a Fire Fighter i work with LEOs on alot of calls they are like family I know alot of them for my town we joke and talk after calls they are some of the best people i get to talk to some of them are my buddy's
I hope that fool rots in prison, No police officer should not have to go through this. Other than that, May Officer Kevin Will be remembered, Rest In Peace brother,
Rest in peace Officer Will..... You're commitment to our community will never be forgotten, nor your presence..... You made an impact on people's lives, every day. You're last minute of life was spent trying to save someone else's life..... Commitment to the end. May we all strive to better our community, as you did....
If you're going to drink call Uber, a cab, a friend to TAKE YOU TO the bar or club.. Bam! You're way ahead right there from the get-go The consequences are just too high.. Think ahead of your actions.. You'll be surprised at the mental relief.. PLEASE BE SAFE so that you and others may live.. ✌💖
The bagpipe playing these tunes were outlawed by the British, not allowing Scots to play them for such events until Scotland became free from British rule and tyranny, rape, theft, and murder.
And realise that it is your tax $ that fixed his face and will give him 3 meals a day and a nice warm bed for the next 55 years. I wonder what officer Will's family gets ?!
This did not have to happen. He should NEVER have been here in the first place. Trump's immigration policies and completed border wall could have stopped this, but now Sock Puppet Biden will ensure more tragedies like this one. RIP Officer Will..
I can't describe the hurt and anger and extreme sadness that you experience when a fellow officer is killed. Even if it's an officer from another agency. You cannot keep from putting yourself in that position. You think of their family. You imagine the knock at the he door. When Breann Leath was shot in Indy, my ex wife called me minutes after. She had been a Control Operator on her district for 15 years and Breann's mom, Jenny, was a Control Operator, also and a personal friend away from the job. I had been an officer and Breann's dad was a Deputy Sheriff. We knew her. She was a gorgeous 24 yr old kid that was on a domestic. That's been a couple of years ago and I still haven't gotten over that.
This is so sad and very heartbreaking 💔😭 im crying my eyes out. It's been like 13 years ago but i want to give my deepest condolences to his family and his men and women family in LE.. please stay safe out there 🙏

Deported twice, came back again illegally and still breaking the laws, they should have sentenced him to death.
true so true
Jackson Mboya they shouldve

Peace to your family, friends, and colleagues.
Bagpipes the wailing sound of those mourning for their loved one. RIP sir your watch is over. Thank you for your service.

Fifty-five years doesn't seem long enough. Hope he doesn't get released on good behavior. No parole .
my heart and prays to the family
First prayer to the family's, second to the officers and third thank you all for your service. It's stories like this that should open the eyes of our government officials to carry out our immigration laws and close the borders.
The killer is an illegal alien! This makes me so angry! When are American politicians going to start putting Americans first!?
This story breaks my heart and enrages me at the same time.
To Kevin's family , to his colleagues my thoughts and prayers are with you all. 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Drunk drivers should get harsher punishments. My deepest condolences to this officer’s family. That baby is growing up without a dad because of somebody else’s poor choices, not fair.
I agree,BUILD THAT WALL. He was so young and had so much to live for. I pray his family has found peace.
This breaks my heart. I think the Officers, the prosecutors, and the jury honored this Officer the best that they could! I’ll always think about this officer, his family, and all of the officers who work everyday for our safety! 💗💗💗
Kevin Will has left his earthly, fleshy vehicle and now lives as an eternal soul in another dimension - as we all shall.
Sounds like a crock of smoldering shit to me-you know, the whole eternal soul another dimension thing.
Rest In Peace Officer Will.
Thank you for your service!
Wow.....so effin sad. My heart goes out to his friends and family. What sucks the most is the guy that hit him will be a hero in prison.
This series is a stone cold look at the consequences of impaired driving -probably one of the best out there. As a former air line safety professional, and a victim of an impaired physician, in a life altering car accident, I can absolutely validate the fact that this message is as current as what you order for lunch.
This is not about my struggles, we all suffer in these situations. How can you truly ever recover from the loss of a loved one or a valued colleague? You can't.
What I want to say is this: if you have an issue, or even suspect you have an issue with drugs or alcohol, ask for help.
There are so many great resources that can change your life in a positive way. Ask for help. Reach out. There is no shame.
The shame comes when you hurt or kill another person. It doesn't need to get to that point .
Talk to your doctor, pastor, social worker, who ever. But get help.
Thank you for your comments.
A baby that never gets to meet his dad. So senseless. 😭😭😭
I drive a semi cross country and dirve at night alot to avoid traffic and extreme heat in the desert areas like nv aZ etc. And I will tell u that this is more common then u think. Drunk drivers take people out all the time.
Rip officer. Thanks for trying to make the roads better so guys like me can earn a living.
I am so sorry to all involved. I don't think that I would have ever been able to keep it together after that.
Houston has lost 2 more officers this week alone. God bless and help our brothers and sisters in Blue😟
Amazing story. What an amazing person Officer Will was. The sacrifice Police Officers, Firefighters, EMS, and our Military make on a daily basis is something we can never know. I hope his Family in Blue will ket his children know what a brave honorable and self sacrificing man their father was..."Land of the free, because of the brave". My prayers are with your your entire family....RIP Kevin
It's hard to know from this video what kind of a person Officer Will was-if he was like most cops, he was probably often abusive and disrespectful of people's rights (check out some of the first amendment audit videos on TH-cam).
Powerful video. Prayers for his family.
ElGrandeDawg yes
When did prayers ever help?
Don't know if liking this video is what that button is meant for.
I remember watching this on the news in Texas and every time I watch this video I can't help but feel pain for all of the offices who was there that night and had to see Officer Hill killed by a drunk driver who should have been locked up for being in the country illegally. Even years later I still think of his wife And unborn child that won't get to bond with his or her dad.

That is why i support Trumps policy on immigration.
because your a racist fucktard?
RageMojo or maybe the fact that if that guy wasn’t in America illegally and committing crimes, then that officer would still be alive, happily married, and raising his child
Immigrants as a whole commit statistically almost no crime despite the lies the TV tells you. I am not excusing or condoning ANY drunk driver. But the need to focus on immigration status is born of racism. Whether you can face that fact or not.
You're an idiot. The earth, all of it, belongs to us all and immigrants do not exist. The Creator created no borders
LOL. Do you feel better now snowflake? Been 18 months, i dont think your getting a wall, much less them paying for it. good luck though when he goes to prison.
This is very sad. The driver was found guilty and sentenced to 55 years in prison. Of that he must serve 27.5 years before he is eligible for parole. But in stark contrast, NYPD officer Neville Smith, while off duty, got drunk and drove his car and consequently killed a 22 year old college student from Queens. His was sentenced to 4 MONTHS in jail and 500 hours of community service. Where's the justice? If anyone, cop or civilian drives while under the influence and causes an accident that takes someone's life, that person should forfeit their freedom FOREVER. Life without parole. And some wonder why cops are so hated. One word .... unequal justice.
John Nelson He should of lost everything. The officer your talking about. He knew better. Tagged get more time more community service than that.
You cant compare the judicial actions in two separate states from two separate persecuting bodies.
BUT the short answer is this (same reason why the criminal in this case didn't get the death penalty), a justice system that has become incredibly liberal. Every criminal is a victim, who has a vallid excuse, and every victim shares fault.
In both cases, it was determined the alcohol was at fault, en excuse for the actions of the criminal. Return the justice system to one that punishes crime, remove lenient Judges. Make abiding to minimum sentences for convictions a Constitutional requirement. AND at the end of the day, make the JUDGE criminal responsible for the repeat offenses of those they let back into society.
so true, while tragic in this case, cops are treated so preferentially when they violate the law, the inequity is so obvious.
He'll have to do 46 3/4 years before he is eligible.
Even if he somehow gets paroled, ICE will have a hold on him and give him a plane ride as soon as he gets "released".
Wow. I try to tell my loved ones to never get out of their vehicles in a highway or road area without being EXTREMELY cautious
Army Infantry 11b it won’t still stop nothing
Love and prayers for all officers and first responders. Damn intoxicated drivers.
My condolences to his family and colleagues
I never knew Officer Will But I want to say I am sorry for the loss that the Department and his family has gone through, As a Veteran of the United States Army and having lost friends there I feel for you all Again I am Sorry for your Loss. Please Be Safe keep your eyes open watch out for each other and Thank You for the jobs that you all do.
Thank you for your service as well. I appreciate you even though I don’t know you.
Officer Kevin Will, God Bless.
Whew! Good Lord Jesus. How did these officers make it through a night of pure hell? Rip to Kevin. I hope his family is doing well today.
So Sorry for your loss! His family and his work family are all in my Thoughts and Prayers 🙏❤️
Thank you, very good video
Further proof that drunk drivers need to be treated far more harshly than they are. The fatality rate in this country just keeps climbing and climbing. After their first infraction, DUI drivers need to be jailed for a minimum of one year, with their licenses revoked for ten years. All DUI drivers who injure someone need to be charged with felonies. and sentenced accordingly. DUI drivers who murder someone need to be imprisoned for a minimum of twenty five years. Minimum.
DUI accidents are not accidents, it is murder.
RIP Officer Will.
lekkki1 actually alcohol related deaths are down.
I did not know officer Kevin Will but god gained another angel. May God bless his family and friends. Fly high. Rip
RIP to this hero...
Thank you so much for reposting our documentary about Kevin Will. Looking at your viewing interests I think you might find this documentary we produced several years ago very interesting as well - th-cam.com/video/CViBDmjeQ0I/w-d-xo.html
Who on earth has ever benefited from drinking alcohol... ? Drinking and driving even a lot worse...
God bless those who risk it all to keep the public safe... 🙏🏿
Rest in peace officer Kevin will. 🙏💙
My Maiden name is Will. Not a name you hear often. Such a tradgic loss for all concerned. My heart goes out to his unborn child. Never getting the chance to even meet you Dad is incomprehensible to me......

Thankyou for your service Officer Will. I didn't know you in life. But my heart goes to you and your loved ones in this horrific time. You were just doing your job and you didn't do anything to deserve it.
RIP Officer Will. Sleep well.
Beautifully produced documentary. I know the pain for Officer Will's family and sisters and brothers in Blue will never be forgotten. I hope to see a more in depth feature by Texas Pictures Video on this. Great job ya'll. Life is never simple, is it?
So at least two officers saw the approaching car and undoubtedly radioed in a warning and Officer Will and others didn’t think to get out of the way? I can’t fathom how this happened.
But you weren't there, nor were you a police officer on scene that night. So keep your "expert" opinion to yourself.
@@sarahalbers5555 this is called the “comments section” for a reason. Nothing “expert” about it. Just some common sense.
Very powerful video.
Very well done. Thanks.
Senseless tragedy which is so sad. Heartfelt sympathy to all close to this poor officer.
Gut wrenching! How sad to lose an officer in this way. My heart goes out to his family.
his poor wife...I hope her and the baby are doing ok these days.

Heart breaking. To know he acted so selfless in making sure others were safe is admirable. It's sad to know this officer lost his life while trying to get help for those in the wreck. Knowing his family faced the hard loss, they lost a husband, a son, a father. I hate people that drive drunk. They are selfish and have zero care of the lives they forever tear apart by their actions. It's senseless. If you want to act grown and drink then make sure you are responsible and don't drive. It's a choice that cost nothing of it'll cost you everything including your freedom or your life. How any adult or even teen that drinks can not make the right choice today, knowing the education out there about driving drunk, I'll never understand. If you can't drink responsibly then don't drink. Nobody deserves to lose a family member or friend to your carelessness. My thoughts and prayers go to his family and co-workers. Breaks my heart to know he never got to see or hold his child or there to comfort his wife through labor..it's something so much more tragic in this.
I've driven drunk lots-I truly believe I drive safer drunk than sober because I don't want to be caught by the cops. Besides, driving drunk adds an element of excitement to driving (which I often find boring to the point where I'm less attentive unless I am drunk).
Here in Australia we just had 4 officers killed when a truck driver under the influence slammed into their traffic stop. So this hits close to home.
i am sorry to hear that brother, i don’t know if you personally knew them or not, but either way 4 hero lives were taken and i hope the family and close ones found the peace they need. Matthew 5:9“blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the children of god”
From My Home State Of Missouri RIP Brother as a Fire Fighter i work with LEOs on alot of calls they are like family I know alot of them for my town we joke and talk after calls they are some of the best people i get to talk to some of them are my buddy's
That song is so chilling
I hope that fool rots in prison, No police officer should not have to go through this. Other than that, May Officer Kevin Will be remembered, Rest In Peace brother,
Rest in peace Officer Will..... You're commitment to our community will never be forgotten, nor your presence..... You made an impact on people's lives, every day. You're last minute of life was spent trying to save someone else's life..... Commitment to the end. May we all strive to better our community, as you did....
If you're going to drink call Uber,
a cab, a friend to TAKE YOU TO
the bar or club.. Bam! You're way
ahead right there from the get-go
The consequences are just too
high.. Think ahead of your actions..
You'll be surprised at the mental relief.. PLEASE BE SAFE so that
you and others may live..
✌💖
Rip Kevin will, also wish peace on the officers who lived through that days trauma
The bagpipe playing these tunes were outlawed by the British, not allowing Scots to play them for such events until Scotland became free from British rule and tyranny, rape, theft, and murder.
Scotland is free from British rule?
And realise that it is your tax $ that fixed his face and will give him 3 meals a day and a nice warm bed for the next 55 years. I wonder what officer Will's family gets ?!
Good point
This did not have to happen. He should NEVER have been here in the first place. Trump's immigration policies and completed border wall could have stopped this, but now Sock Puppet Biden will ensure more tragedies like this one. RIP Officer Will..
Prayers for his family and thank you for your service
BUILD THAT WALL !

Corrections why not get rid of the guns

U don’t say that when they’re killing at will and their not getting a life sentence
Boston Sandblasting,LLC seems like we never say get the European Immigrants as if any mafia has done any good in this country
I can't describe the hurt and anger and extreme sadness that you experience when a fellow officer is killed. Even if it's an officer from another agency. You cannot keep from putting yourself in that position. You think of their family. You imagine the knock at the he door. When Breann Leath was shot in Indy, my ex wife called me minutes after. She had been a Control Operator on her district for 15 years and Breann's mom, Jenny, was a Control Operator, also and a personal friend away from the job. I had been an officer and Breann's dad was a Deputy Sheriff. We knew her. She was a gorgeous 24 yr old kid that was on a domestic. That's been a couple of years ago and I still haven't gotten over that.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing. We regularly work with the Houston Police Department and this was a very special story to us.
This is so sad and very heartbreaking 💔😭 im crying my eyes out.
It's been like 13 years ago but i want to give my deepest condolences to his family and his men and women family in LE.. please stay safe out there 🙏
Thank you for your comments. 🤗
❤wow ! 55 years in jail can’t take away the pain to so so many , what a really saddening clip ❤ RIP 💐 ❤
If he would not have been in this country illegally this wouldn't have happened
So Sorry for your families loss Thank you Officer Will for your Service
At that speed he had no chance. Body just ripped apart. That's horrible
Oh! an illegal murderer, twice deported, kills a police officer who was not even on duty. BUILD THE WALL! please.
