Well, since you asked, this individual that killed the police officer was pulled over for a moving violation, approximately doing 72 in a 65 mph zone, and not wearing a seat belt. This is what the other article stated.

My comment was that while our law enforcement is busy enforcing minor traffice laws, like not using turn signals, and seat belt violations, our entire nation is being invaded by millions upon millions of illegal aliens, while our so-called leaders look the other way and stand treasonously silent or actually encourage this titanic invasion.

I find this extremely disturbing. And yes our traffic laws need to be enforced, but one day, we should get our priorities fixed.

The individual that killed the police officer got what he deserved, unfortunately not before he apparently murdered the police officer.

"72 in a 60 mph zone" Joe.

The strange thing is, Matthews had no violations or anything else on his record. He might have been given a warning.

What a senseless waste of human life.

I happed to live extremely close to the Ohio border; I can see it from my house. And everyone that's ever grown up here was warned about Ohio even before they got their first learners' permit. The Ohio Highway Patrol is extremely anal about all traffic laws, and will stop you on anything they can get you on, in order to give you an amazingly expensive ticket. Driving 1mph over the speed limit will cost you a hundred bucks. That price jumps far higher for every few extra mph over you're going. (By contrast, our state police have an unwritten but commonly-known rule that they won't stop anyone at all unless they're going at least 10mph over the posted limit, and since most of our highways and interstates are posted 70mph, that means you can go 80 before they'll even blink an eye. In fact, they rarely have more than one or two cars looking for speeders in any given 40-50 mile radius, except during major holidays where the chance of drunk drivers or stupid teenagers are far more likely to be on the roads.) And they love picking on people with out-of-state plates; if you don't have Ohio tags, your chances of being let off with only a warning are approximately zero. It's all about the Benjamins.
