Jonathan was a public servant and a loving father. The animal who did this should have never been allowed to roam free.

Way to completely disparage State Troopers… Pretty sure most troopers are far more concerned about stopping drunk drivers and investigating collisions…
Democrats have a new ad where an Alabama state trooper pulls over a woman, demands she take a pregnancy test, and arrests her. Gavin Newsom just shared this. Biden’s a disaster so all they have is blatant lies:
Here’s your daily dose of reality:
Don’t break the law. When you break the law, you get arrested.
Dozens of cops in riot gear telling you to disperse might be a clue…

Lucky for him, one of our motor troopers did.
The vehicle was impounded and the driver faces a charge of reckless driving.
There's no excuse. Pay attention, slow down, and prioritize safety over speed.
Take a look 👀 this misunderstood victim. The big mean police officer violently asked the innocent trespasser to identify himself. Naturally, Mr. Good Citizen decided to stab the officer in the neck.
