Quoted from bumblethru DMV and car manufacturers and insurance companies should be held responsible for allowing this to happen.
Quoted Text
Quoted from Henry Agreed and lets not forget his assault truck held a 20 gallon high capacity gas tank, again why do civilians need such large tanks, if the suspect had to stop and refill his gas tank this trooper might still be alive today.
There are certainly not enough common sense safety measures in place to protect the public from these types of drivers. With more traffic stop safety checkpoints, along with psychological safety screening for licensed drivers, and federal regulations requiring vehicles sold in the US must be manufactured with a safety kill switch, I believe we could better protect the public and greatly reduce the number of these senseless tragedies.
See RP. Do you still defend these posters? Not a word of condolence for the parents, the children or the spouse... Just sarcasm.

those family members could care less about our conversation here.....I don't know them personally and they don't know me personally....is it very sad for them..OF COURSE...can I feel their pain? NO....and they don't care, and of course they shouldn't. this is a sad time and I'm sure them 'thanking the public' for their condolences is top priority on their list....
these are REAL people with REAL sadness and sorrow....not some hollywood/political hack who stands up to stay "I'd like to thank blah blah blah".....
they will reel in their grief and their true friends/family who CAN AND WILL feel their pain with them will be there...we don't matter here...so let us continue on with our philosophical degradation of how ridiculous the public sounds every time a tragedy like this happens as if the government or more chains will fix our sorrows and make a utopia here....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Don't lump me in there. I'm offering real solutions to real problems. I'm trying to offer public policy solutions to reduce the number of traffic deaths. How better to memorialize this tragedy than to name a piece of legislation after the fallen officer, similar the Marks law that was passed after a first responder was tragically killed responding to a fire. If we don't respond with some common sense solutions to enhance public safety, this officers sacrifice was all in vain.

What sarcasm, you can fight off a guy with a knife, you can't however fight off a guy with a 2 ton truck with a 20 gallon high capacity tank. You car huggers are all the same, you must think it is your right to own such a piece of deadly machinery. So why do you need that box, for your upcoming race war at the track
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
Sarcasm? You don't think a kill switch is a good common sense solution to prevent these types of tragedies?
A common sense solution would be to have the car that they want to pull over, get off at the next exit and find a safe place to conduct the traffic stop.
Stopping cars on the highway backs up traffic for miles and puts lots of people's lives at risk.
A lot more risk than the speeding car was causing.
Back up a thousand cars on the Northway and risk the cops life for a $150 parking on the highway ticket?

That is the stupid method.
Ok, I agree...this can also be added to the public roads safety plan.
So now we have: - vehicle safety kill switch - pre license safety psychological assessment - enhanced safety roadside checkpoints - safety roadside detainment zones.
All common sense solutions to enhancing safety on our roadways.

I don't hate anybody. I'm trying to come up with some life saving public policy, and I get nothing but straw man after straw man from box of cox. He must not care about the tragic deaths of this nation's peace officers.
Imagine if as a nation, condolences was all this country offered to the victims of Sandy Hook. Condolences are not solutions.

Thanks to GunHuggers, all that Sandy Hook families did get is 'condolences.'
