He freaked out when he found himself attracted to the driver
So a gay killed s gay? That's not news. You must say it was a straight man full of rage.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's called "gay panic".
Just ride in the back with your headphones 🤷♂️
@cowboydelnorte3078 Fr tho ! People are getting weirder 🙄
The fact that this cop wasn't fired *after crashing his car while high on drugs* says everything I need to know about this department & its leadership.
I mean, it’s Atlanta
This guy was flying so over the cuckoo's nest that it was fired and not promoted by his blatant drug use!! Shocking, I know!!
Amen.
Stories like this really do highlight the gross incompetencies of some of our agencies
Look up 'Officer Sean Sullivan Oregon' - it gets real bad.
Someone needs to tell him... prison is going to feel a lot like a "gay fraternity".
😂 and he just got recruited
Yep, all those lonely men in there.
LOL
Right
I think he has urges for men an could not handle it. He let it take over. Sadly.
Even if the Driver was Gay he didn’t have the right to do that to him
Yeah that was beyond wrong 😑
@@ElizCarterMsg from Far East “* A criminal & Officer? “
Prison bound
Based on the Xanax, ignoarance, and lunatic beliefs, he should have no rights
@@bucketman_1337 100%
That headline gets weirder with each word.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know right, I'm not going to entertain this story.
exactly
That’s what I’m saying. 😂
Well that's tabloid journalism folks today
So many questions...this dude is a psychopath. This is very alarming to know he was a cop at any point.
Not very unusual
That shouldn't be alarming
That's the type of people police departments hire. Liars, psychopaths, thieves... I could go on and on but I'm tired of typing😅
Funny how psychopaths often get jobs as cops. That “qualified immunity and above the law” is quite the incentive.
Most cops are
He probably tried to take the Lyft driver home and when the driver declined he had to get rid of him bc he didn't want it to get out. So, he flipped the tables with this story.
That seems more likely
That sounds more probable
Possibly
I just said this yep
Agree
That fool was fighting his temptations 😅
His eyes say gay all day..😂😮😂..
juneteenth
Exactly
@@silentmajority8365if only the one who birthed you had swallowed
Especially flaunting his necklace in that shot smh
*well he definitely goin to a Gaye fraternity now that's fo' 'sho!*
🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
exactly
😂😂😂
We ALL know about the "DOWN LOW BROTHERS!" Down there 😂😂😂😂😂
Basically…
There was the woman who shot the driver because she thought he was kidnapping her to take to Mexico. Now, this guy thinks he was being kidnapped for gay people???? 😂 America is fked.
Both happen....
😂
Because TWO such incidents occurred, then "America is fked"? Into exaggeration much? 😂😂😂😂
Probably on meth
@neverforget5350 Ah yes, the underground gay frat rings 😂
Wtf is "gay fraternity"
The WNBA is a Gay Sorority.
Maybe they use a different Greek alphabet?
😅😂
Not sure but it sounds gay
Instead of the Greek alphabet the fraternity goes Greek in bathhouses.
So to avoid being 'turned Gay' he is going to spend the rest of his life in a men's prison getting passed around like the last joint at Willie's birthday bash.
Exactly
Chiiiiii the work of the damn devil. Choose love today y'all. 😊
No .he will be in protected custody
😂😂😂😂😂
@@IssaPage not the devil! STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR PSYCHOPATHS!
The driver didn't have to die RIP young man.
That sounds like a bs story that a police officer will tell. The cop was gay and couldn't find anyone.
No, one of the guys they interviewed is actually gay. He done gay porn .
No bc the people they interviewed actually done gay porn. They pick up “straight men “ and trick them. It’s called “thug bait”. One of them is using a different name. But …
Now THAT'S what you call homophobia. In this case it's not an overused exaggerated catchphrase. The word is accurate here
Hypervigilant homophobia
Yep! and 98% of homophobes are homo..... And I will take that to the bank.
Exactly
The black community is taking longer than others to progress
It looks like the former APD officer secretly wanted to be gay with the lyft driver
Anyone can get a badge.
Not if they just cry on youtube
Exactly I thought they made them do a physiological testing apart of there training before graduating out of the academy?
Not me I'm banned for life
@@montinaw1358 Maybe instead of crying you should take the job
@@silentmajority8365 you on drugs too?🤣 wth you talking about 🤦🏽♀️
🙋🏾♂️ He looks zesty in the mugshot. Purrrr
😂
Strawberry 😂
It's Atlanta, what do you expect
Like chicken alfredo?
😂😂😂😂😂
Dude is running side missions in his head as Diddy’s favorite boy
😂😂😂
Imagine what hes saying is what he did and when the driver didn't bite, he killed him so his secret didnt get out.
This guy kinda looks like Columbus Short😂😂😂😂
That’s why i clicked it 😭
Yo….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
*LOL...Dad may have had another son he didn't tell Columbus about*
Same thing I thought
😂😂😂 my first thought lol
This is why evaluation is needed when hiring for authority. How was he ever a put on as a police officer???
Atlanta
@@lottagotti4604 its GILEE, bigger problem.
A registered Lyft driver is going to kidnap you ? Yeah okay
Uber drivers do it
@@Jahdayhartage…. Facts!
It’s happened numerous times. Uber and Lyft drivers have done worse.
You’d be surprised how easy it is to join Uber & Lyft. They hire damn near anyone!
@spookylopez9682 no, they don't.
What a bunch of bs is that?
What's the BS part?
Gay lovers
Wtf Atlanta is wild
The cop looks like he's in a "gay fraternity"
Something is off about this whole story...
Well then, tell us what it is.
Naw, I think there may be some truth to this- the guy Thomas Ballester was in a Thugbait video (gay porn) and you know what they say, “birds of a feather, flock together.” Google: baller part 3 thugbait. You’ll see for yourself.
@@RichardBarnett-hs1qy We don't know. That's the problem. How did this officer even come up with the idea that the Lyft driver was in a gay fraternity?
Booooyyy, they'll make up anything if they think it will get off of murder rap. That's truly how these cops think. He did that from training, and like muscle memory just kicked in. Pathetic....
Usual suspect: a cop
I wonder how he’s gonna cope with having a gay cellmate that is much bigger than him😂
the dominant one in prison relationships isn't gay.
What If the driver wasnt even gay?
The victim's still dead.
Not worth working as a driver these days
He’s gonna have to spend about 10 years in prison for this one. He is screwed.
LITERALLY WITH THE HELP FROM BUBBA,TINY, AND PEACHES!!!!! 😂
10 years for murder is not screwed
10 years..more like life.
@@mnwm9300 white man just got 20 for first degree murder...but yeah definitely agree life since he is black
@@ReneLuis-ge7df No its not screwed completely but there is a chance he gets murdered in prison and then he’s really screwed
He is nuts
No he’s not. I think there may be some truth to this- the guy Thomas Ballester was in a Thugbait video (gay porn) and you know what they say, “birds of a feather, flock together.” Google: baller part 3 thugbait. You’ll see for yourself.
It’s a terrible thing when you find yourself on the other side of someone else’s mental breakdown. Especially when that person is a murderer in his heart.
I really hope someone figures out who the first cop was that responded to his other accident an hour before. Because how was he not already arrested if he was that impaired?
So the Driver was Probably Talking about his Wrestling Stuff, and the Guy Translated that as a Gay Fraternity, and than Translated that as he was Going to Be Kidnapped and Forced to Do Things... Ain't That Something, being Offed over the Delusions of a Mad Man...
Nah ain’t no grown, mentally stable man thinking this way. Most likely he’s the one who was secretly gay & wanted the driver & got rejected. He had to kill him to silence him & put his own narrative on the story
I think he was talking about your Dad and you know he just had too much to drink.
So he was actually going to a Diddy Party in his mind huh🤦🏽♂️
He was having a Hard 🌭Time...🙄
Dat fool was probably high on drugs and was bugging out in that car... this is why I can't be a stranger cab.... you never kno whats on ppl mind or what drugs they are using
No Diddy 😆😂🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
@@TreyIM22 🤣
Hopefully he had a camera in the vehicle to prove this "cop" is lying..smh. One day you're here & the next, you're gone. Smh
There's Sus fraternities in Atlanta?
You have much to learn…
The whole city
Duhha, there's DL (gay) crips, bloods, married men with multiple children, you name it. Atlanta is full of these so-called str8 men. how I know? my youngest brother is gay and he shows me receipts
Is a pigs left butt cheek pork? No diddy.
The only people who would know are those who engage in that lifestyle
Schizophrenia much?
Anyone who finds this alarming hasn’t been paying attention.
How do you even hire someone like this to police others? They should have been known he wasnt ever mentally capable to handle such as task.
DEI
As a Lyft driver, I have a camera in my car for MY protection. The amount of crazy people who’ve gotten into my car is too much for comfort. But unfortunately, a camera can only record what is happening; it can’t stop something like this from happening.
Why is being gay a crime?!? WTF is going on the USA?!?
He has to be kn serious drugs . None of this story makes any sense.
there’s no such thing as a gay fraternity
I'm noticing a pattern....
I pray he comes out of prison gayer than when he went in. What do you call a gay fraternity ?
It's called just a fraternity.
Good chance he never gets out of prison.
How was he not removed from the police force with this type of history?!
Sounds like his gay fantasy went unfulfilled so he turned on the driver.
Let's see what he does when he sees those types of guys in prison...
You can believe what you want. Your reality can contradict the truth if that makes you happy. Try leaving people alone. That is the challenge.
Bro had to be cracked out
Never drive on Xanax
Blk masons love going to the purple room . Usually takes a few weeks to recover
Wow
???
Explain
He’s a Mason? I was wondering
What's the purple room?
Atlanta is “Gay-nsters Paradise”. 🕺
The irony being that NOW he is about to unwillingly join an ACtuAL GAY FRATERNITY (prison) and not HAVE a CHOICE whether he wants to be toyed with or not. Lol.... critical thinking skills 0.
WTF is happening ? Crazy people running around killing innocent people for absolutely no reason other than some sick disgusting crazy BS .... This guy needs to be in prison for the rest of his life .
Note to self: don’t be the one that lights up the room. Noted 📝
Also, don't ever try to "turn your life around." You're sure to end up dead within a month.
It does not even make sense...
Don't do drugs, kids.
Atlanta 🤦🏽♂️
UNIONCITY, GA😢
The cops nickname is Darius Butker...they call him hootiehole and the buttfish.😂
What in the actual hell...🤦🏾♂️
Well here comes your recruitment...free of cost!!! You dirty cop!
What an embarrassment to man-kind.
High as a Kite, what a disgrace. RIP to the Lyft driver.
The person that gives psych evals to cops in that department should be fired and fined for incompetency.
Every Lyft passenger has a 5 star rating.
From one fictional fraternity to a REAL FRATERNITY. RIP Driver!
Look like he was into that kinda stuff... He is from Atlanta
Wow minor thought he was in Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity?!🎉😂
I thought that was the Stomp the yard guy for a minute
😂😂😂 me too
Every driver should have cameras.
How did this man ever become an officer?!
He was hoping he was from a gay fraternity and got mad when the driver said; no just a lift bro.
Gross
the zesty sassiness of his mugshot suggests the “frat recruiter” was on to something…
Uber and Lyft driving is incredibly dangerous and I hope I never have to do it. Regularly having strangers in your car, not knowing if they are violent or have a weapon, is such a vulnerable scenario. I’m guessing these companies take no responsibility for the safety of their drivers since they seem to be passing all the costs of doing business onto them.
His lawyer is going to argue it was in self defense.
Jesus Christ. WTF is going on.
The only job where you can resign to avoid jail time.
Looks like the cop is in the gay one made a move on the driver driver did not accept his gay move so he shot him. Because the gay cop is still in the closet.
What kind of paranoid way of thinking even causes this kind of thought to get into someone’s head? Dude must have been highly AF on drugs & went down an Internet rabbit hole with a bizarre conspiracy theory before he stepped foot in that lift.
Where do they do their recruiting, the insane asylum ?
CROOKED COP with a history.
ATL people is becoming like FL.people .completely unhinged
The drivers orientation has nothing to do with the fact he committed homicide. No matter one’s opinion or belief the fact remains it’s illegal to kill people.
Someone sue APD right now!!
Say what now???!
Horrible. Prayers to the surviving family. 🙏🏿
Xanax was all I had to hear lmao
Wait until Netflix releases a movie on this
lol he thought he was one of them.
But to them no matter how much you simp for the system you're still one of us.
No one knows who a frat brother is except a frat brother
He sounds very delusional.
Makes you wonder who the real criminals are.
Scary people like this exist.
Its got to be some of federal crime to assault the gig workers. Gig workers are seldom treated like humans.
