This happens more often than you think.
This happens more often than you think.
And Harris will not support deporting this murdered.
Line of Duty Death ping.
FReepmail me to be added to the Line of Duty Death ping list.
How nice, ANOTHER ILLEGAL behind the wheel. People who allowed this to happen are traitors, pure and simple.
This is what happens when states, under the direction of federal law, issue driver licenses to absolutely anyone just to get them on the voter rolls.
RE: This happens more often than you think.
Really old statistic (2017):
Between 2008 and 2017, 554 law enforcement officers died in traffic-related events. This figure, which comprises close to 40 percent of the total officer fatalities during that time period, includes on-duty car and motorcycle crashes and officers struck while outside their vehicles.
Roadside safety concerns all first responders, not just police. In 2008, 28 out of the 118 firefighters who died while on duty were killed in vehicle crashes. Another five firefighters were struck and killed by vehicles that year....
National Institue of Justice.
“28% of the respondents reported that either they or a fellow officer had been struck by a vehicle during the performance of a traffic stop.”
I wish Trump would hear about this. Another life lost, this time an 18 year veteran of the police department, because of an illegal.
Do not allow LEOs to stop vehicles while traveling on the interstate. All stops are made at the first available exit.
All accidents should be immediately cleared from the roadway.
I’ve never understand the urgency or need to place yourself and others at risk along side interstate traffic.
Yet Leo’s seem to believe flashing lights bring superpowers.
