President Donald Trump delayed the departure of Air Force One from Indianapolis in order to speak to a police officer who was injured whilst escorting his visit. Officer Robert Turner, who was providing a police escort for Trump’s visit, crashed his motorcycle on the I-70 and was subsequently taken to hospital where he was given emergency treatment and neck brace.
However, shortly after arriving at the hospital, he received a call from President Trump himself, who delayed his flight back to Washington in order to speak with the wounded officer.
“On behalf of the IMPD, we would like to take an opportunity to thank President Donald J. Trump for his thoughtful act in delaying his departure in Air Force One until he was assured that the officer injured in the motorcade accident was OK,” the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department wrote on Facebook.
“Calls were made by his staff to Chief Bryan Roach checking on Cycle Officer Turner. President Trump even took the time to speak with Officer Turner after the accident, to check on him,” it continued. “Thank you for your compassion, concern, and leadership, Mr. President!”
The White House also confirmed the incident, stating that the officer had suffered a broken ankle and possible contusion, and expressed his gratitude for his service and wished him a speedy recovery. They also confirmed that no one else was injured in the incident.
The incident took place towards the end of Donald Trump’s visit to Indianapolis, where he announced the framework of his plan for tax reform, which he claimed will restore the American dream for working families.

Who cares?
Obama would have demanded that he be fired for diverting attention from the Boss.
Class act, Mr. President.
The left cares...deeply.
Thats why you won’t hear it much from today on...
Take that Elementary School Librarian.
0bama would’ve just kept on going...
Oh yes, and we all know how President Rodham, oops Abedin, would have been even more generous in situations like that, lol.
Carney the Carney handled it for the Fraud when a motorcycle cop was killed during his reign.
“President Obama was notified of the death, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters after Air Force One landed Sunday night in Washington. Carney added that the president’s thoughts and prayers were with the officer’s family.”

Thank you President Trump. You stand as an shining example of decency in a very indecent world.
A contusion or a concussion? Isn’t a contusion a bruise?
Anyway...what a thoughtful act by President Trump.
I love motorcycles, but they are dangerous. One out of six motor vehicle deaths are motorcyclists. I finally sold mine due to all the texters and marijuana shops in Oregon. Just too dangerous nowadays.
“Obama would’ve just kept on going...”
And it was raining, he would have made the officer hold his umbrella.
As I recall. Hillary’s car ran over a cop because he was in her way to her plane.
Liberals who call every conservative a racist need to know...
Melodrama. Trump did not “stop” Air Force One. He showed up late getting on the plane.
“Obama would have demanded that he be fired for diverting attention from the Boss.”
Agreed. But our Service & LEOs really dodged a bullet when Hillary! was rejected. She would have personally berated the cop - and then fired him.
