Facebook posts made by Trujillo shows he was opposed, or at least hesitant, to getting vaccinated. He added a temporary profile picture that said, “I don’t care if you’ve had your vaccine,” on April 23.

He posted on April 26: “I’ll get it later on after y’all start growing apendages [sic] out of y’all’s foreheads.”

Another temporary profile picture updated on May 7 says, “I have an immune system.”

1. "We ask that you keep his family in your thoughts and prayers and respect their privacy during this"

translation: "Please don't talk about how FUCKING STUPID he was" and we still are.

12. Republicans have made the issue poiltical so people will post it

[Maru Kitteh]

13. It costs nothing but pixels, so what's it to you?

Why protest something useful to others to potentially save a life?

It gives me a case/article to find and print out for some of my few holdouts in the ancillary staff to read

and if one of them finally decides to get vaccinated - well done.

[meadowlander]

16. Apparently, it's the only way they learn.

[rampartc]

19. welcome to du hardluck

are you really virtue signaling the superiority of maskless, vaxless life?

[PA Democrat]

29. What's the point?

People who won't get vaccinated spread the virus to other unvaccinated people, including children for whom vaccination isn't an option.

This guy was the SECOND sheriff in that department to DIE of Covid-19 within 10 days. They both worked in intake, meaning they had extensive contact with the public. How many other people did they infect before they died? How many people ended up in the hospital, lost their lives, or have ongoing long-term medical issues due to Covid-19? Who pays for their medical expenses and the benefits for the families they leave behind? (HINT: all of us in the form of taxes and increased healthcare costs)

You do realize that people who had other non-Covid medical issues did not always get the timely care they needed due to the stress that the large number of Covid-19 patients have placed on our healthcare system, don't you?

I don't feel superior, I feel sad for the people they leave behind and angry because their selfish and uninformed decisions affect ALL of us.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

32. The point is that he mocked a disease that has killed millions.

And then that disease came knocking.

He was also a police officer, so who knows how many people he exposed because of his idiotic conspiracy-rotted brain?

This is a message board, things are discussed. There are plenty of other threads if you don't like this one. Capisce?

[USALiberal]

35. Lol, whine much? Nt

38. It's a reminder of how deadly COVID denial can be-- also, so young, just 33

52. His family is claiming line of duty benefits.

Why should the taxpayers pay when he wouldn't wear a mask or get vaccinated? Would they pay if he shot himself in the head?

[LonePirate]

3. May his death prompt those who knew him to get vaccinated.

His anti-vax stance was a lethal one for him. Hopefully others will learn from his mistake.

[milestogo]

4. Its like a driver who refuses to wear a seat belt saying "I have brakes".

Neither an immune system nor brakes are enough to keep you from dying.

[Ms. Toad]

5. Not just no . . . but hell no.

Both Andrew, and his brother, Stephen,{children of the first deputy sheriff to die this month - 10 days ago} said the department needs to do more to protect staff.

"The department is understaffed," Stephen Herrera said. "They're working these huge amounts of hours in a day, like 12-hour shifts, 16-hour shifts...and you're keeping them in an environment like that for a long period of time. It makes it very difficult to stay safe around COVID."

The brother said their father's death still hasn't been declared a "Line of Duty" death.

"He was in the line of duty when he contracted it. Same with the officer that fell yesterday. They were forced to work through it and didn't really have an option to not do it," Andrew said.

. . .

Stafford said she's encouraging state lawmakers to support a "late-request" by Rep. Naquetta Ricks, for a proposed "COVID-19 Presumptive Pandemic Care Act," which would say, "if you contract COVID while you're in the line of your work, it will be presumed that's where it came from."

Um . . . no. I'd support it if you were vaccinated. But not in May, after every adult who wants to be vaccinated can be. Society should not be paying extra for their irresponsible choices.

[Ilsa]

26. And I would ask the brother to prove it.

He could have picked up COVID-19 at the grocery store, a drive-thru, or someone at home.

[gldstwmn]

48. This line of duty? Or maybe I should say doodie:

What a guy!

51. I believe that was 2013-ish

I watched the video - and there was a masked person in the video so I initially assumed it was current (and he was being stupid about masks) - but it was definitely pre-pandemic.

6. Anyway, my favorite food is sushi. What do other people like?

7. Tomatoes

Man do I love them.

8. I cannot do any nightshade

Veggies. No eggplant. My system really struggles with them.

Likely also a Nazi or white supremacist.

[XanaDUer2]

25. Omg he was horrible

um, RIP.

[Liberal In Texas]

34. The video in that story shows him working around the prisoners without a mask.

Ya have to wonder how he wouldn't have been infected. Probably passed it on to some of those prisoners too.

[ZonkerHarris]

15. At least he went out laughing. Oh wait, that's me.

[smirkymonkey]

20. You bad!

I know we shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but he brought this on himself. So much for that "superior immune system" of his.

[ecstatic]

17. Wow. Still talking shit on May 7 and died less than 3 weeks later?

Looks like he needed to be more careful with his words. His immune system probably overreacted (cytokine storm) and now he's dead. RIP.

[gldstwmn]

49. I have to wonder what his thought process was as he continually got sicker.

[ZonkerHarris]

57. "Bill Gates and Dr Fauci are out to get me!"

[rampartc]

18. rip. condolences to family

but i kind of hope he spent a few weeks with a tube down his throat thinking about his mistake.

[Bullfeathers]

21. I'm not doing an

I told you so. He made a choice he new the consequences and may he rip. The end. As for his family I hope they get vaccinated

[mainer]

22. They demand "line of duty" benefits

For every officer who dies of COVID. They shouldn’t receive it unless they took the simple precaution of getting vaccinated.

[no_hypocrisy]

23. I wonder if the insurance carrier for the Union or the Municipality will deny

death-while-on-duty benefits if an officer refuses to get vaccinated.

[mainer]

24. COVID #1 cause of police officer deaths

Yet they’re more terrified of random black guys at traffic stops.

27. He looks a picture of health.

Covid is a weird disease, I don't think anybody yet figured out why some people have no symptoms and some die. In his case, waiting to get the vaccine "later" proved to be a bad strategy.

[llmart]

41. Picture of health?

He looks obese to me.

[Mariana]

28. I wonder if he was on steroids.

If he was, that could have been a factor in his death.

30. Good!

I have run out of any shits left to give about people who chose to be stupid.

[Bucky]

37. I save my shitgivings for whoever he may have infected

[Botany]

39. We don't have people in iron lungs anymore because of the polio vaccine because science works

but now we have a network (fox news), a political party (the gop), and millions of whack job
Christian evangelicals willing to say that snow is not cold, water is not wet, and it doesn't get
dark at night for some kind of insane political construct/end game.

I guess 'Duke' was taking no chances on another dick growing out of his head.

42. Stupid people think they're smart

In this case, the idiot thought he was smarter than people who passed biology class.

I hope he didn't leave behind a wife and kids.

44. Serves him right. (nt)

As someone said, a fitting epitaph would be "fucked around, found out." Bye Duke.

Two Denver Sheriff Department deputies suspended for beating, squeezing inmate’s arms
Noelle Phillips
PUBLISHED: August 11, 2017 at 1:51 p.m. | UPDATED: August 11, 2017 at 8:10 p.m.

In this video still, Deputy Daniel Trujillo and Deputy Matthew Hammernik hold the arm of an inmate through the door of his cell on October 16, 2016.

Two Denver Sheriff Department deputies have been suspended for using excessive force against an inmate who was locked in a cell but sticking his arms through a small opening in his cell door.

It’s a situation that has led to altercations — and accusations of excessive force — at the department.

The man was sticking his arms through a small opening in his cell door, used to distribute food and other items, and refused to withdraw his arms into the cell when asked, according to a sheriff’s report.

Deputy Daniel Trujillo, who was hired in 2014, was suspended without pay for 60 days after he violated the department’s use-of-force policy when he beat the inmate’s outstretched arms with nunchaku and also used the weapon to squeeze the inmate’s arms, according to his disciplinary letter, which was obtained by The Denver Post through an open records request.

Nunchaku is a martial arts weapon made of two sticks joined at one end by a short length of cord. Police use the weapon for self-defense and to control people.

It is Trujillo’s second suspension this year. He previously sat out 30 days for failing to respond quickly enough to an inmate’s suicide attempt.

56. I'm sorry for his family (that they had to live with him).

Hopefully they, and we, will be better off without him.

[Peppertoo]

59. I think law enforcement should be required to get vaccinated
