Kentucky Trooper Was Trying to Help the Man Who Killed Him: Police
"The trooper, Joseph Ponder, 31, pulled over Joseph Johnson-Shanks, 25, on an interstate just after 10 p.m. It was unclear why the trooper conducted the traffic stop, Thomas said, though Ponder quickly discovered that Johnson-Shanks' driver's license was suspended.
"Two women who were also in the car — one was 18, the other was 22 — didn't have licenses either, Thomas said, so Ponder tried to arrange for a hotel for everyone — there were also two young children in the vehicle, police said.
" 'So he wouldn't have to take the driver to jail," Thomas said, "he was trying to help them out.' " . . . From Weasel Zippers
Breaking: Kentucky Cop Killer Was #Ferguson Protester, Went To Michael Brown’s Funeral, Burial
"Shanks was not originally from Kentucky, he was from Missouri, from Florissant, near Ferguson.
"He had a long criminal history. But perhaps significantly one arrest, for ‘interfering with an officer’ was on August 11, two days after Michael Brown was killed. Not only was he a Ferguson protester, but he went to Michael Brown’s funeral and burial in a limo the type usually reserved for family or close friends. In that limo he is riding with people from NAN, Al Sharpton’s group.
. . .
"His Facebook has multiple pictures of protesting, the funeral and burial and protest paraphernalia.
"A few of the pictures:
"Among the groups he ‘likes’/belongs to on Facebook?
"Barack Obama, Occupy Democrats, Cop Block, Million Hoodies For Justice, Justice For Mike Brown Leadership Coalition, The White House, Michelle Obama.
"And this pretty much says it all, a triptych of nonsense:"
"The Kentucky state trooper who was fatally shot after a traffic stop on Sunday night was trying to help the man who allegedly killed him, Kentucky State Police spokesman Jay Thomas said in a news conference.

So much for the healing brought to America by Barack "the police acted stupidly" Obama.
