A letter discovered over the weekend at a makeshift memorial for Eric B. Taylor, the 31-year-old Massillon patrolman killed in a shootout Friday night, defends his killer and predicts that more police officers will die in traffic stops.

Nice to know that those who own the highway at 100mph cannot be stopped. As far as I know the constitution allowed the distribution of such custody over such jurisdictions. But why do papers make an issue of this 1 constitutionalists when they never make issue of welfare Democrat voting addicted gang bangers murdering hundreds of people every months??? I think that is the issue right here.

Well, in our county, in Ohio...we really do not have a lot of murders...we have not had a police officer killed for six or seven years...it just happened that this constitutionalist type guy was the one who killed a cop over a traffic stop...and his friends are defending his right to do it...so it is making the news.

This topic has to do with a self-described "Constitutionalist" who murdered a cop, who was really no consitutionalist at all, and his sympathizers who believed the cop deserved to get shot.

If you're talking about something else, you're on the wrong thread.

Unfotunately the letter is probably right. As police forces continue to become nothing but revenue generating entities we'll see more and more of this.

They need to spend more time stopping real crime and less time as a profit center.

That being said, I don't advocate shooting cops over speeding tickets.

"Experts who track constitutionalist groups say, however, that the extreme political views often lead to violence. ``Aside from their stated purposes, this movement on a regular basis produces people who are extraordinarily angry at government, extraordinarily dismissive of all authority,'' said Mark Pitcavage, the Anti-Defamation League's national director of fact finding."

Why isn't this standard ever applied to radical lefttist groups? I guess cause the left currently rules America.

Some could even argue that the ADL is extreme.

I understand where you are coming from...because the "small town" that I live in is known for it's speed traps and DWI/DUI stops, which render the most arrests in Ohio, but the least amount of convictions.

You're right and no one should advocate shooting cops over any ticket.

Speeding is a violation of traffic law. Law enforcement officers enforce the law. It's their job, and it's dangerous. Running from the police during a routine traffic stop is a "real crime".

Instead of deflecting attention towards leftists, don't you think it is a good opportunity for Conservatives to look at ourselves and examine the fringe-nutty hangers on, who highjack the Constitution and Conservatism to try to further their own deformed agendas?
