Massachusetts Has a War on Police Officers [OPINION]
A Massachusetts State Police Trooper stopped a car on Cape Cod recently and was met by unprovoked gunfire. The trooper was wounded and survived because another fast-acting trooper responded and drove him to the hospital. The suspect was able to escape the scene, get off of Cape Cod, and make it to New York City. That requires resources and the help of other people.
The person who shot up the New Bedford home of a police officer is still on the streets as this column is going to press.
Another Massachusetts State Trooper was recently attacked on Route 24 and nearly died in the line of duty. A highway traffic stop resulted in a life and death battle. The trooper was almost hit by a car and nearly had his weapon used to kill him. Good did triumph over evil but not before a police officer suffered serious injuries trying to uphold the laws passed by our legislature.
