- On March 11 2009, Daniel Lopez was pulled over for driving erratically. The dramatic car chase that ensued killed a police officer and 27-year-old Daniel was given the death penalty. Unusually for a death row prisoner, he is resisting all appeals to block his execution - which is due in five weeks' time.

“Once you kill a police officer you’re never getting out.”
Very true.
@Hrx360GAMING yayayaya shut up no one cares
@@Alphae21 cmon shut up
Hrx360GAMING I agree that he shouldn’t have said that and should expect backlash but cmon that’s too far
Just don't kill police officers and you won't have to worry about it
Poisoned Peep might’ve been in self defense 🤷♂️
Idk why a person who killed a cop on accident gets the death penalty yet a guy killed his 4 year old son intentionally and got 20 years with a chance of parole. That is just wrongful justice.
Jennifer Warf unfortunately it’s Texas, they lay the hammer down there for anything.
idk if i’m right or not but i thought he asked for it
“thought he asked the judge for it”

Good question that’s America
The Title: “Man who wants to die”
His Words. “I don’t want to die”
it should’ve been, “man who wants to get it over with”
Welcome to you tube clickbait
hmm yes the floor here is made out of ceiling
buzzy beezy buzzy no welcome to usa with ”freedom”
Did he asked the cop if he wanted to die too? It's not fair for the one that was dead too.
just because he is a cop doesn’t mean he should be automatically 10x more valuable than a regular human
He should
lly g most definitely not. they’re overpowered
ッa as they should they’re in a position where they put themselves at risk everyday to stop criminals, and had he not done the crime he wouldn’t be in this position
lly g who are we talking abt? George Floyd? Because his $20 bill was real. Here me out, cops aren’t supposed to kill criminals either
@@user-js1bo2ve7l How about COMPLYING???
If somebody kills an officer on/off duty they get death row Intentionally or not, but if a officer kills an innocent man walking down street the officer is seen as a hero or he could justified for his actions, how does that work
Jujune Tylor that’s what I’m saying smh cops have killed so many inocent people and they don’t even loose their jobs they just get a little punishment but look what happens when someone kills one of them they get put on death row right away 😢😢this makes me really sad 😔
Jessi iii except the police don’t actually kill many innocent people- most the “innocent” black people who have been killed have in fact been murderers drug dealers and have resisted arrest/ fled the scene of crime causing the police to shoot them
Jessi iii hahahaha thats what USA isa all bout son
Fucked up world. That's how.
Jujune Tylor right! That’s what I’d like to know.
I don’t care how badly you hurt me, I can’t watch someone die and feel peace, especially if they use their last moments to apologize to me. This was so sad.
We need more people like you in this world.
This story, wow, it broke me. That's why I forgive right away, because I know that I'm not capable of killing someone without 'killers remorse', no matter what they've done to me.-RIP y'all
If I had a time machine, I'd go back to the day he did this and talk him into staying home that day
Are you europian? I am and I can't understand the killing of citizents in america.
lysette barrera exactly I could never
He definitely didn't deserve the death penalty. The fact that the wife watched him die is very disturbing. Killing this man will not bring her husband back. She just wanted revenge, not justice.
Cant blame her. Tf u mean, fact is he killed somebody so he needs to pay for it
@@juniorbeckham2928 classic American mentality. People like you in positions of power are the reason why your countries justice system is so backward. (Meant in a respectful way)
his execution will haunt her for the rest of her life.
Well now that little girl has to grow up without a father . But also a father in jail isn't much of a father anyways
So I probably would want to die too
Just get it over with at that point
But maybe I could stick it out and maybe one day I can get out to see my grandkids
@@trumpthemessiah1238 it won’t.
It’s been five years today since you’ve been gone. You was brave and had a big heart and you had a beautiful soul. May You Rest In Peace 🕊🖤🙏
Miracle Milton wow u came back 1 year later. That’s devotion
This might sound harsh and maybe it’s just me but I feel like the guy who got executed is a lot better of a person than the wife.
He’s dead, so he is no longer a person, just a corpse.
That man is a much better person than most of us. We all make mistakes, he just made a fatal one.
I agree!
Agreed
why? imagine if she killed his mom, you think he would be so forgiving?
This is a real man! He truly regrets what he's done. America's system is too much focused on punishment and not at all on rehabilitation.
Nika Kloosterman a man can always regret something but it will never take away from something he did
Yeah he's a real sex offender too.
@@TheMrPeteChannel true. Had many things in his past but still I feel so sad for him more than the wife.
@@draz9765 i can never feel sorry for a sex offender.
Niko that’s so true they never give no freaking chances there just focused on how there punishing them
This one really got to me. He used his last moments to mouth he was sorry and to say "it's ok" to the cops wife 😢 He is about to die and hes telling her it's ok. This is one man who did not deserve to die.
Facts that’s soo sad. I get that she misses her hubby... it’s sad what happened to him but I’m just surprised that she was thinking about her husband and how she hopes he can rest In Peace, while she was going to watch a precious soul be tortured to death when what happened was accidental. So heartless, my guy didn’t deserve that, he seemed like a genuine guy🥺😭😭
He died to give that woman some closure and peace.
really KILLED ME inside. how could something like this bring peace to someone ? he clearly said he was sorry & how he didn’t want to die.
Paola Carranza I think he should’ve gotten 25-30 years but you don’t know he’s sorry from a 5 minute vid
So youre anti death penalty but youre okay with him killing a cop. Ironic
@@clanker8686 An execution is a very different thing from an accident killing.. heck, even a premeditated murder is on a completely different level than an execution.. An execution is taking someone’s life after deciding with the power of Law and the State that this person no longer has the right to live. A person who’s is sentenced to an execution had no recourse, no say and no ability to defend herself, while even in a carefully premeditated murder there’s chance of something going wrong the victim getting saved or saving herself. I used to be all for the death penalty, especially because in my country we don’t have it and there are some heinous crimes where criminals are not properly punished, but after giving the topic a lot of thought I believe the death penalty is only ever warranted when there’s proof of intention and premeditation that is absolutely incontrovertible and when the victim is killed in a cowardly and/or torturous manner that denies them any chance of self defense.
@@Seth-jd5xn 10 years max
I can tell this guy is a good man . He honestly doesn’t deserve it
You he slept with a 14 year old girl. Do you know he was a registered sex offender. He has three babies mamas and was in and out of prison... Great person. Read the court records dumb ass. Hope you experience what that poor women had to go through, because of the criminals actions. Then you won't be so quick to judge. 🖕
Adam James I’m not calling you a liar, but where are you finding this information?
@@tyronecomblast1078 probably that thing called google.
@@adamjames6421 don't say that you hope this person goes through the same thing! Uncalled for
Adam James so harsh for what bro? you think he knew all of this shit? No he didn’t, look at the rest of the comments fool. other people think the same thing as him.
This case KILLS me. I will forever feel for Daniel and his family. He DID NOT MEAN TO KILL THAT COP and he damn sure didn’t deserve what he got. My heart breaks for him.
J Mo definitely feel you on that
Yeah but he didn’t fight the case so he pretty much instantly signed his own death warrant..
@@AttilatheThrilla he did not fight once it was capital murder, but he didn't want to die.
J Mo exactly , racism at its finest . That’s why I trust no cop
Last Hope Reyes / Killuminati Soldier no that’s not what happen
Daniel's not a bad guy, he was a kid who made a tragically stupid mistake. He seems 100% genuine in his remorse. I know he has a good heart. RIP
Had 😢
First of all let me say that I oppose the death penalty. I do not think that there was any need for this man to die. However. Do not be so easily fooled by incarcerated people. They can often very convincingly fake remorse. The fact is 99% of us go through this life without taking anyone else's life.
By just watching this 30 minute long clip, you can tell daniel is not a bad guy, I fully believe he was in panic and didn't see the cop there and hit him, he's a decent kid that fucked up, it's so sad especially for his daughter.
This is why I’m anti-death penalty. What a sickening justice system
Jokes on you the Boston bomber isn’t getting the death penalty.
So youre anti death penalty but youre for murdering police officers? Ironic
@@clanker8686 ???? Did I ever say I was for murdering officers??? No, I didn’t
Literally 1 in 10 death penalty victims are innocent. And the justice system is racially biased. That’s why I’m anti-death penalty too
@@thandaysmondays8708 If you kill someone you absolutely deserve the death penalty. It is indeed shame that not all murderers get said penalty, as they should.
@@clanker8686 What if the murder was an accident? I’m not saying that makes it okay. But like if it’s not intentional murder, they immediately deserve to die?
Also, killing someone for killing someone is hypocritical af. And makes no sense for a “justice” system
He is taking personal responsibility. More than most people.
That's true, isnt prison for rehabilitation anyway? I'd hope so
He sounds like every death row inmate
This definitely sounds like more of a revenge than justice
Sadly, the USA prison system works like that.......
The US justice system is so backward. They do not practice rehabilitation at all. So sad.
Would you feel the same if the deceased one is your loved one?
Rubaia Anzuman thats my point bro. This sounds like revenge simply cuz he worked for the city/state. I’m sure this taste of revenge won’t work if he hurt regular people. That’s what makes this justice system work another way. The idea that everyone is equal is out the window. If he killed one of my loved ones then Im sure I’d have to wait years/decades but because he killed a cop it went straight to death.
@@darvingramajo60 that's life.. why would anyone risk their life to protect city if city won't take care of them?He works for city As a person of city shouldn't you ask for justice for him ?my question is ,if you had that privilege would you go for justice or revenge if he was your loved one?would you be like you are remorseful I would forgive you even if you took away most beautiful thing called life from my loved one?A sorry would be enough for you for taking away beauty of life ?
A cop or not ,you are struck with that and forgetting someone really lost his life due to this douchbag.Equality is myth and we all are hypocrites.it's not wrong with system, it's with us.
Bet her Husband felt ashamed that THAT woman was her wife...
Underrated comment
L
so this man literally said “Yes kill me. The man’s wife will be happier, it will be easier.” He even apologized to the wife and said “Im sorry.” WHILE he was dying. And the wife still hates him
What are you talking about??
@@joaquimrodriguez8961 did you not watch the video wtf?
She was aware that he accidentally killed her husband, and even though he was hoping he could make up for his actions, she saw it as him mocking her
Why are you deluded enough to think she owes this killer anything at all? Because she doesn’t.
Bruh its easy for you to say. Until you know the pain sadly.
I hate how she said I hope he can rest in peace now. By killing another person?
Yea there's no connection. That didn't bring her husband back smh
if you actually listened, she was talking about her husband, not Daniel.
Ahhh, really? You hate that do you? Nobody gives a fuck that you decided to take offence to the phrasing of a widow in pain, about a deeply personal and severe situation that has absolutely nothing to do with you.
So carry on hating girl, you'll achieve absolutely nothing, you judgemental brat.
JessiiVeeFan 12 she wanted him dead she is a murderer just like the state
Homopsycho 97 letting some be executed isn't gonna change the emotional state of someone in grief or bring the husband back,she has to learn to forgive and let go...plus on the flip side a daughter lost a father and a wife loss a husband, *two wrongs don't make right* @revenge...she didn't say that so her husband could rest in peace,she said it for herself so she can try and sleep at night.
P.s.: calling someone a "judgemental brat" is very hypocritical when you judged her in same sentence xD
"hE sMiLeD aT mE!"
Preeeettttyy sure he was smiling from getting to see his family...r.i.p youngsta
EXACTLY
I guess that is the same reason he laughed when they showed the officer's picture

@@donaarmfield8966 Thanks for the constrictive feedback.
And her being relieved that he is exicuted makes her just as much of a killer
Everyone has their own opinions on what justice is.
I have lost two family members in the line of duty. Killing the killers would change nothing for me or my family. Judgment day comes for us all. I don't believe in playing god. I feel bad for her because I doubt very much his death will help her one bit. It never brings them back.
@@mtadams2009 I agree ..she will have it worse now
I don't blame a family for wanting revenge. Besides it isn't up to them anyway.
You are absolutely correct
Rest Easy Daniel. Fly high and god bless your family ❤️🕊️
A few years back a police officer in my town sped through a flashing red light at more than 90 mph and smashed into another car, killing a young couple. He got one year in prison and three years probation.
Why are police officers not punished or held accountable the same as everyone else?
The justice system is a joke, it's so corrupt is disgusting
they will meet the Judge of all judges one day and they will have nowhere to hide.
I know lots of people said this but Imma say it again, "Some police think they're above the law just because of a badge"
For you to kill another peoson for closure is cold as ice. It was an accident, a young kid not thinking correctly, that shouldnt mean his kid now has to grow up fatherless, that's not closure, its revenge
Alex Ricciardi the kids was gonna grow up fatherless anyways
Facts.
@@oopdi how? He clearly stated that everytime they visit.. they would bond more and more.
Yep
It wasn’t an accident he knowingly fled putting others in danger that’s felony murder
And a cop gets just 10 years in jail for premeditated murder, when she walked into her BF’s home shots him while he’s eating dinner.
Yeah absolute BS. The said thing is they will probably let her out early on good behaviour watch. What a joke.
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
Killing a person that killed your husband won’t bring you closure cause at the end of the day he’s not coming back
You cant kill something thats already dead!!
Lady B so true
It's called sting the score it's the right thing
PERIOD ‼️‼️‼️
Lady B he killed hiself tf u doing standing on a freeway road fuck em
This guy had balls for choosing the death penalty. Have to give it up to him.
Josue Rivera later he didn't want it no more. Didn't you listen?
I guess not
Josue Rivera naa he made a dumb choice he was thinking too fast and wssnt really thinking sure he wasn't gonna come out of prison but you would be a alive you could see your little girl now all that's gone he chose to make the cops wife happy instead of his own that's dumb asf but dumb people will always do dumb shit
Or just a man with suicide thoughts working for him,making his mind warning for the death row...
R. Dillon he's charges was killing a cop fool
Oh my goodness!! This is so sad, I cried. He did NOT deserve to die.
This broke my heart! This was an accident! He did not deserve the death penalty! This is an abuse of the system because it was a police officer. American just system is one of the most corrupt and flawed systems in the world!
It’s tragic but it’s important to understand how the law works. Fleeing like he did is a felony and someone died as a result of that felony which triggers the felony murder rule and on top of that he killed a police officer. What happened was not corrupt but I feel like if any guilty person has ever deserved a pardon it’s this man. It’s very rare for someone to take accountability the way he did and the world is a lesser place without someone like that in it. Most criminals would have done anything to reduce their sentence, blame someone else, not even be sorry, and this man was literally sorry to his last breath.
Closure is not the same as revenge. Closure is a state of being. Revenge is a deliberate act of vengeance. She wants revenge.
Yes and it's justifiable
It was a accident, so many people in this country including texass are doing life for intentionally killing this case is fkd up and that fat cow deserves the needle more than he did
Junior Beckham you’re probably white
@@maryp3693 im mexican. And i say he pays for the life he took.
@@DianaRodriguez-jp8dx idiocy is universal, so it doesn't matter if you're Mexican.
Didn’t know a 4 minute video could bring me to tears. The thought of that woman allowing this to happen to a young man that is clearly sorry for his actions is just not ok. I don’t feel any pity towards her and may this mans soul Rest In Peace!
I feel the same as you. What is really heart breaking is how blood thirsty people are. This young man should have been charged with voluntary manslaughter and served no more than 15 years in prison. Hopefully one day people will realize the state doesn't have the right to play God and take life.
Sax i seen this urs ago hope he's in heaven
Project Shoty You don’t kill someone and feel sorry. It’s too late. This guy deserved death
Yeah he was only sorry cause he got caught. No sympathy for the punk.
@@bentolleson8582 In Europe we realized that decades ago
As a law student, this is very confusing to me. The first thing we learn is that a defendant must have intent to commit murder for a capital murder charge to stick. This should've been charged as a reckless homicide or murder 2. You can't conclusively establish that it was premeditated and it happened in the process of avoiding an obstacle. I'm shocked that a DA would prosecute this under that charge and a court would actually find him guilty. He clearly doesn't meet the elements. Idk what Texas courts are doing but this isn't justice.
That is Texas that’s why. Have no intention to ever breath the same air as that place. Disgusting rules
Respect where due, having done 2 years inside myself (in the UK, much preferable to the US jails!) I can’t even imagine being sentenced to death. This guy made a mistake, owned it, and accepted his fate, you can’t ask anymore.
The victim's wife has been through a lot, but her being allowed to use the death of another person to get personal closure and feel closer to her husband isn't fair on anybody. This entire situation is disgusting and complex and could never be resolved by the simple act of taking another life.
I agree with you
I wouldn't be surprised if later on she feels guilty for wanting him to die
Cece Ruben I never implied that he was a good or innocent person, although this video doesn't explain the situation in detail he clearly deserved punishment. I just disagree that killing the criminal provided any healthy justice or closure for anyone involved personally or for the moral/ legal situation overall.
Cece Ruben Cece Ruben That's awful, I'm very sorry for your family. We just have different interpretations of "healthy closure." Personally I don't think that it is right to find positive emotions in the killing of another person; for me this feels selfish, illogical, and short sighted. Criminals cannot go on offending on full life sentences; this combined with the fact that juries do make mistakes and my belief in rehabilitation wherever possible means I don't see any need to execute anyone. No crime can be undone, justice must be about eliminating the risk of reoffending and helping those affected in their recovery, rather than creating more loss. I can appreciate that these situations are incredibly emotionally complicated for all involved though.
Antler that’s what I was thinking when she was talking
It's been three years today since you've been gone. But you'll always be remembered as a good soul and a good person. May you rest in peace.

He is resting in peace He's dead. That's what the dead do.
Hes burning in hell atm
She is cold as ice for seeking closure in that way. He was young and so sorry for his actions they weren't intentional. This is just outrageous
And what about when he laughed out loud in court? What's your excuse for that? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@G_xx_ i think he believed that time that he could get away with it because it was an accident and sometimes they just want to act tough and after several years comes their realizations and that is why jail is also created to reflect on your wrong doing
There was definitely an element of racism there.. white cops in the south rarely have sympathy for non whites...
I mean her husband was killed and now she has to live without him because of someone else acting a fool. Plus she mentioned he was laughing in court was is terrible. Anyone would be upset.
I hate her
Cold hearted idiot
The police offer decided to jump in front of the car it was never the guys intention to kill him and that's all that matters. This system gets worse day by day.
Lori Xo it’s called consequences, If he had just pulled over from the beginning this all wouldn’t have ever happened
That’s true he’s my cousin dude that happened and it sucks
Abraham Rivera stop commenting forever. Or else some dude is gonna murder 20 people. "It's called consequences' right?
Of course that shit wouldn't have happened. But that's not what they punished him for. They punished him for intentionally killing the cop, and he had no direct ontentions to kill him. They put him on the same boat for trying to dodge spikes as people that brutally murder dozens of people.
And that's not what he deserves to be punished for. He should be punished for killing someone as an unintended consequence not for intentionally murdering.
Where have you heard that? Any source? No kf course not
If you believe that you are an idiot.
I hope his daughter grows up seeing how brave her dad was, because he more than gave all . RIP Daniel Lopez.
As someone that is not really a reader a friend of my forced me to read a book he just read. He started to show tears so I wanted to make him happy to read it as well. This book "Riven" from Jerry B Jenkins is the best book I've ever read. It's about about a the death row convict and a pastor that became friends before the execution. The first 50 pages or so was a struggle to get in the story but there comes a point that this book will get you hooked and the story gets better and better and at the last chapters are full of tears. This video reminds me about this book.
This was not worthy of death.
The wife of the police officer disgusts me. The fact that she could say that. That poor poor man, may *he* rest in peace...
Gwendolyn Smiderle her man got killed, what do you exepct? Dont you have loved ones?
How are u kiddin? She did nothin wrong so stop with the bs
It's heartbreaking to see so many ppls' lives ruined by one mistake. Keeping the families in my prayers
She didn't forgive him ... She wants him dead.. It was an accident.. He run for his life because he afraid of dying.. Cuz he love his daughter.. Such a good man
This guy should NOT have been executed & because of the victim (wife) attitude & complete lack of willingness to forgive I CANNOT have much sympathy for her but Daniel & his family, I do. He seems to take responsibility for the crime any way & does not speak ill of victim or his family. Y'ALL GOT THIS ONE WRONG

The problem was he was smiling and laughing during the trial. I believe he changed and I genuinely feel sorry for him, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting him go free, but I wouldn't feel comfortable killing him either.
Is it just me, that music on the intro gives me chills, it's extremely chilling and grounding and makes me instantly realize what I have around me and how lucky I am and how I'd never want to end up in a situation like the one in this clip.
So she believed that in order for her husband to rest dud had to die.... thats a messed up way of thinking. And I can honestly say if it was my family my immediate family member who died by that man I would not wish death on him. Only God can carry out something like that not the fucken government that's wrong.
This is sick. I understand that the wife of the officer was hurting unimaginably... but for her to nod to the inmate as he was trembling, on his way to his death and not stop it... it’s wrong. Now there are two families in pain. It’s so wrong. Your husband will not find peace with this...
Luna Her husband would be alive he pulled over his car.
How do you suggest she stopped it? Its been through the justice system, ain't nothin stoppin the law from killing minorities when they have the opportunity.
Um....it’s not her choice though. lol
LastSuperman21 are you stupid ..have you not done things you regret..he was scared he would be shot and killed due to the history and nature of police had police have had a better reputation with people after waving the white flag he would have done so and given up but he was scared for his life and still lost it eventually ..like the comment above said now two families are in hurt and a daughter is without a father and wife without a husband to raise her daughter this shit disgusts me
Doesnt matter if you regret it, he killed someone. If he wouldve stopped nothing wouldve happened, but he decided to run from the cops and endanger a lot of people. We need to make an example out of these people.
Title: the man who wants to die
In the video: "I dont wanna die"
Yea ok
Saw some other people saying when he smiled at the woman to "mock her" during the court case, I saw that this was actually because he wanted the death penalty for what he had done. Probably why the video is named the way it is.
He didn't want to die. He wanted them to hurry up and do it since he knew it was going to happen regardless. There is no reason to keep people on death row for 20 years. A police officer died. Anyone with any common sense knows that it was not intentional but that doesn't matter. Dead officer automatically means death. He knew it. He was never getting that sentence commuted. I don't blame him for wanting it to be over and done with. I still cried though
@@madreep , exactly too bad California isn't like Texas so they could kill all of the death row prisoners especially an idiot that tortured to death his 8 year old stepson !!

Quenton Williamson a real man recognizes his mistakes and faces the consequences. Hes not running away from it or blaming others.
Munozl360 that guy has more balls than any cop that shot minority people and blamed it on he's training. The cop's wife wanted blood hope she could be at peace with her wish. Your words are disgusting how about the officer look like a slob didn't look like he had that much life in him left.
What if your father wasn't a piece of shit. The answer that you gave me tells me you are not able to empathize. You have daddy issues obviously. Go see a therapist
My heart goes out to Daniel lopezs mother . WE LOVE U DANIEL LOPEZ. I HAVE CRYED SO SO MUCH OVER THIS. I SEEN SO MUCH PAIN IN DANIELS EYES AN HE DIDNT WANT TO DYE BUT HE WAS SO TRAUMATIZED BY WAT HAS HAPPEN THAT HE FELT UNWORTHY. HE WAS MORE MAN THAN MOST MEN. WE LOVE YOU DANIEL LOPEZ. FROM INDIANA MY LOVE TO YOUR FAMILY
It's just so sad how people just dont seem to think their bad decisions are going to affect so many people's lives. It's sad to think about of what the officer's family had to go through, but also Daniel's little girl, his mom, his wife... I just felt deeply heartbroken watching this
This is crazy bro he didn't even mean to do it😭
I feel like the death penalty for killing someone via running them over is kind’ve intense. To be fair, that could easily have been him swerving the spikes. He was scared. And idk how I feel about that lady wanting him to die so that she could be comforted.
Peachy Geek he shouldn't have killes her husband then....simple
Hurting people has the tendency to bring out the worst in them. She was probably just a sweet lady
He hurt her...so why are you surprised that she sees comfort in his executuin?
You mock her for looking at details in the video, however if he did not intentionally kill the man his sentence should have been much less harsh. You say that if it were her child she would change her tone, and while that is likely true, it is the duty of the justice system not to cater to the upset feelings of some random wife, but to serve justice. This man made a terrible accident but an accident it was, which in no way deserves the death penalty, not by any sane moral code. If it was intentional, then a strict sentence is required, but i dont think what he did warrants a death sentence. An eye for an eye is not justice, especially for someone so remorseful.
She was as twisted as the whole Situation. She said "i hope he can rest in Peace now"????watching another person die.... Hm twisted
Peachy Geek I agree. But here in Texas when you kill someone intentionally or by accident while you are committing another crime you are charged with capital murder which only brings life without parole or the death penalty. Since it was a cop and he was asking for the death penalty it's not surprising at all that he was sentenced to death. It's a dumb law in my opinion.
Nice.
Rest easy Daniel and god bless your family.
You kept it real
Don't worry about the lady it all comes back! She would always see u and that smile
How do you explain this to a child??? Heartwrenching!!!!
He shouldn't be executed.
And for the lady,Facts dont care about your feelings.
That guy was a good person, he never wanted to kill anyone.
Accidents can happen and sometimes u cant prevent them.
He clearly didn't want to die. The title says he does. 😒
nobody deserves to die
Tempesta Solarum my brother was shot & killed and when the guys were caught the cops called us to ask us what we wanted as a punishment for the criminals we said whatever they taught was right! we dont get nothing out of it why would you wanna have hate in you. we all make mistakes.. and clearly daniel didnt intentionally wanna kill that cop.
Tempesta Solarum rape is intentional
The Real Mrs. ZAM yeah he deserved it good riddance to him
andrew carson bet u wouldn't have been so quick to say that if he was your race
Thank you, Daniel Lopez, for your service.
The wife just wanted the execution to be over so she could hit up kfc
Right? she mad cuz no other guy would dare to date karen, 100% karen.
Last I checked Capital Punishment is reserved for premeditated murder. This is an example of how the felony murder rule needs revision. Intent is questionable here.
Jonathan Coley only man I can agree with here. Everyone is calling the cop doing his job a PIG. It’s not like the officer tried to kill Daniel Lopez and it’s not like Daniel Lopez tried to kill the officer. It just gets complicated because most of the time police officers aren’t accidentally getting killed so no law really stands just for that circumstance. This is just an example of a very rare thing.
It’s not fair but if you murder a peace officer/federal worker. They most likely gonna kill you
Felony murder. Murder one(and is various synonyms) are dived between premeditated/malice(meaning with intent) and felony(meaning done during the commission of another felony ex:rape or robbery). Both carry sentnaces of either life with out or death. In this case it’s felony case we have felony resisting arrest, reckless endangerment, grand theft, assault(the first officer he attack), and porbally several others. Any one of those let alone all them together means he could have just missed the man but given him a heart attack which killed him and still have been executed because the death is the result of his decision to commit said felony.
There are many capital offenses, premeditation is not a requirement
The other officers lied and said he purposely killed the officer. Watch execution watch with Daniel Lopez its an interview days before his death.
Two wrongs don’t make a right
Rose Flower one wrong doesn’t make a right either
Rosie Lou what? I never said it does. Of course him killing that poor man doesn’t make a right.
Jay Brown okay I’ll spell it out. The first ‘wrong’ was the man in this video killing the officer. But the second wrong is him being executed. The family of the officer shouldn’t need the death of another man to be able to grieve. These two wrongs won’t make a right. It appears to make sense to the 86 people who have liked the comment.
i agree. the crime he committed was terrible, but nobody should want him dead too. life in prison, sure. but if you’re upset over the death of one person, why would you wish death upon the other? it’s not evening anything out. clearly the officers family is upset, as they should be, but how do you think this man’s family would feel after he is killed too?
The bible says it is right to kill a murderer. Where do you get your flowery ideas of not executing someone? You get them from TV right, yea.
Victims wife after the killer died :
'' I hopped he can rest in peace now''
Are you kidding me? What is that? Are you satisfied with somebody's death? What kind of revenge is that. The victim is dead and can't come back...
Gosh the wife is inhuman! You dont get to decide who dies or lives that's up to God, and to have peace watching a young man die she has issues. This broke my heart.
So if losing her husband was so bad why would she want that someone else feel that... why would you expect empathy or understanding if you have none. He should be in prison but death penalty it’s not what’s gonna bring you your men back
It’s about balance eye for an eye. His execution brought society closure
No it’s called bullshit he felt remorse and it was by accident yet he still gets killed cops are nothing special he doesnt deserve to die
Asher closure? Don’t make me laugh, that’s not closure, it’s revenge
No one knows how one is going to react in a situation like this, with such a huge loss. You lose some of your judgement, you can’t think properly and the feeling of suffering and injustice becomes almost unbearable. Watching the video and knowing the facts from the outside gives a different perspective, a lot different than living all those feelings. You can think that the wife is wrong, that she’s not in a clear state or mind, but honestly you can’t blame her. In a situation like that, here from my chair I would say that I’d be capable of forgiving this, but being right there, a whole different story. This is a tragedy from wherever you look at it, and for me, the wife is another victim.
Raul Garfias You have great insight 👍... I’m guessing you’re either a psychologist or you study human behavior.
I do not believe in the death penalty and definately NOT in a case like this. If u must have the penalty, save it for the mass murderers and serial killers. America...
Troy Goldberg That was a manslaughter case wtf look up Ceres police in California on UA-cam a military guy kills a cop it’s called slicing the pie military tactic now that’s murder lol
for the terrorists aswell not for a accident like this of a younge man not knowing what to do frightened for his life he's been chased by cops in America who are armed by guns that's scary .
I think get rid of the death penalty, it just gets them outta their shit sooner, let them rot in prison.
fooos obviously you don't know anyone on death row. They don't get out of "their shit quicker". There's people who spent decades on the row before being exhonerated. People spend decades before even getting execution dates.
yeah but you cant say that 10 lives worth more than 1 or 1 worth more than the 10 i believe in death rows but not the serial killers if a man doesnt regret it or if he does but did something horribly wrong he should just do it i mean if i killed a child or raped and killed a woman an regret it afterwards i'd still want my head chopped off
Im from Corpus Christi Tx where this happened said story all the way around RIP to both.
Oh this was so sad...poor kid.he didn't deserve to die.this broke my 💓.
Even the judge agreed it wasn’t intentional..so very sad they had to kill him for her husband to Rest In Peace..😒
@@clanker8686 do you have proof it was ?
@@clanker8686 she never said it was she said the JUDGR agreed it was wasnt intentional. Read and grasp the message
He didn't deserve it, he was drunk and trying to get away from the police. It wasn't intentional
@@vapesog232 Thank you
The guy chose to die tho. He literally asked for a death sentence...
God this was very disturbing to watch, l have never felt so much anger in my life, killing an innocent man just because of an accident
He decided to flee from police, he is 100% responsible for his death. Maybe he shouldn't get death penalty but at least 25 years
@@TheKacperowski cop killing innocent people get fired pol
Hé is innocent because he running away wasn’t an attempt to kill the cop ,he was afraid , this is not an excuse but people have gotten way with less punishment by killing more people then he Has
What happened It’s purely circumstantial And unjust
@@ataa69120 You know that from his words... What if he's lying? What if he's pretending to feel bad? How can you be so sure that he's a good person just from a 4 minute video?
melc311 he was scared he didn’t do it on purpose you can’t trust cops and yeah 9 times outta 10 he was gone die if he let the cops pull him over
This story actually hurts so bad....
His eyes show so much pain...
My heart aches :( for both families.
Alexa Alfaro uh.....
Black Biggot uh yeah?
Alexa Alfaro wish I had a pretty girl like u
Same here, this really tugs on my heartstrings
people make mistakes
i'm so against of the death penalty especially in cases like these!
Sahra Farah well it’s life you kill a officer they will kill you 🤷🏾♀️
Cause those “civilians” dumbass term as police are not military they are civilians too, were criminals committing crimes.
Locked up for decades or life is Worse than death
Sahra Farah yo hair sexy
Me2 girl
Damn, even the judge knew😭
Also to add this young man has a heart and the honor to do what he has done.
truly, this woman is evil. wishing death upon daniel is evil. i understand its so painful to lose someone so dear-but truly it was an accident. daniel dying would take him from HIS family-i don’t understand how she can’t see that she would be destroying daniel’s partner the same why she is destroyed. that is truly evil.
Daniel chose death row..thats what happens when kill did you see the way he was mocking the victim's wife trial..you are such a dog
like daniel said in a statement
All because of an accident and three lying police officers trying to get revenge for their fallen brother in blue."
Imagine wanting the person who acidentally killed ur husband dead , it isnt just the person dead its about his daughter and family , at least if he stays in prison alive he can be there for his family , i think the woman is wrong to seek revenge like thid
This is gonna be very hard for his daughter to watch may he rest in peace.
This makes me sick to the stomach. The man showed remorse, he shouldn't of been killed. From my understanding he didn't mean to kill the cop; that's manslaughter not murder. He didn't want to die but he denied all appeals to prevent him from getting the death penalty because the victims wife felt as if she needed him to die to get closure. I wish people had more respect for life.
He probably also didn’t want to spend the rest of he’s life in jail, I would also rather die than spend my entire life in jail, that’s why I don’t do crime!!!
But why kill him since her husband was already dead how does ruining the life of an other family compensate for her loss ... she should have moved on how can someone wish death to someone else ... it wasn't like a premeditated murder and i don't think he was happy about killing her husband... so this is nonsense.... a vicious circle... this is why we don't have death penality in france...
Aïda kaufmann I appealed upon it ml, willing but I do not disagree with you
pshh france.you'd be speaking German if it weren't for us.
Wisdom Tooth i'm alsacian so i do kind of speak a little bit of german and i love germany i actually like germany more than france 😂 but anyway what was the point of your comment 😂😂😂 it has nothing to do with this video😂
Aïda kaufmann france can do whatever the fuck france wants to do. No one cares.If you like it there, then stay there.
Munozl360 why are you being rude though...what does it bring to your day to be rude to me on the internet? If you feel better , happy to have helped you get out that anger of yours ! Have a nice day lmao😂😂
That was the most compelling TV I have ever seen.
the part he spoke about his daughter was just heartbreaking😨😱
Trust me the death penalty is murder
I agree with you 100%
I also agree 100%
Depends on the person, this guy showed remorse for what he did. You could see it in his eyes as he was speaking, I would call that murder. However if someone did something like this and showed no remorse whatsoever I think the death penalty would be justified
+Horacio Ulloa "something like this"? what do you mean by that? Don't forget that this was just a car chase and the cop decided to jump in front of the car, " consciously very close to the road and was too late for him to move then he got hit. Even though it was someone who didn't show remorse, it still an accident. You don't have to take another soul for what happened accidentally.
@@SuperBerya so running from cops is an accident
Such a messed up story. This shows again why the death penalty is such a bad idea. People seeing closure in state sponsored execution is such a sad thing, the man deserved a life behind bars, killing a human for a human is no justice.
Cece Ruben where's the proof?
Actually, that is the only justice. An eye for an eye.
I could not agree more.
raffan1
So what happens if an inmate serving life in solitary kills a guard? Then what happens? The prisoner has nothing to lose at that point.
U stupid punk ur a human he's a human u think u deserve life after removing one
Rest in heaven, may his daughter see the brighter side of life and hope, prayers to the family
