Reflections for Senior Police Officer Robert Eric Duran

I just watched all of the body and dash cam from your passing. I am heartbroken for your family and your law enforcement family. Seeing their grief shows how much they loved you. I was on the verge of tears watching it. I am glad the jury got it right, although that won't bring you back.

To Officer Duran's sons, I am sorry you had to grow up in a matter of moments after hearing the terrible news. Be proud of your father. He is always with you and watching you. I'm sorry he will not be there for all those special moments when a father should be there. You were robbed of this joy.

To the Duran family, we owe your family a debt that can never be repaid. God Bless you all.

...and part of America died.

I just wanted to express my deepest condolences for your loss. I may not have known your loved one personally, but after seeing the video and hearing about their life, it’s clear they were someone truly special someone who left a meaningful impact on the people around them.

Even from afar, I could feel the love, strength, and kindness that surrounded them, and the deep bond you shared. Please know that their memory touched hearts beyond those they knew directly, and that their light continues to shine through the stories and moments shared in their honor.

Wishing you comfort, peace, and healing in this difficult time.

With sympathy and respect,
(Victoria Foxx)

This is truly so so sad. My condolences to everyone involved. That woman destroyed many lives that day. She’s got the rest of her life to think about what she did.

The Officer who initially made contact with the woman, my initial thoughts were she was the one that was driving and made up that a man had fled into the woods and couldn’t really describe him. The service is very compassionate a woman however must’ve been scared. That’s why she made up the lie. Seems like she might’ve been looking for the Thelma and Louise experience, but only got life behind bars. I don’t believe in the death penalty. She can stay in prison and rot. They should put photos of the two people that she killed and their family so she can feel remorse and regret every day of the rest of her life.

Just watched the bodycam footage on youtube and had to leave a message! We forget these officers who risk their lives everyday to protect us are just human like ourselves, yet do an incredible job! Love and respect to every single LEO and thank you for your service! Not knowing what your walking into everyday you go to work! This case showed incredible work by all at the scene and my thoughts and prays are with Officer Duran’s family and the fallen retired firefighter that also lost his life! Thank you for protecting the public and gave your life in the process! All Law enforcement officers that day did what they do best trying to save a “kidnapped” women!

You, of all people, are very dedicated to your job. You risked your life knowing that a female was endangered; only if you could see what was to come. You didn't deserve to die, especially for a liar. I'm sorry, and I wish the best for your family and hope they are doing good. Enjoy the better place, in Heaven.
Thank you for your service and dedication, Officer Rober Duran. Fly High, LLRD!

Just saw the video about it, heart breaking. I'm not from US, so I just recently saw it but man is it gut wrenching, really sorry to see so many people get injured and this officers demise all because of a falls report. Sometimes life isn't fair. Hope there's more strict action on false reporters so that whenever they want to false call again they think twice. Sad to see this officer go.

Rest in Peace Sir.

I am glad y'all got justice. I am so angry she tricked and basically ambushed the officers. That's not good. Fly high in paradise!
