Police officer hit, killed by semi-truck near Santaquin 

right? So he takes off in the semi..... then makes a U-turn and drives down wrong side of hwy to hit the cops? If that's correct, didn't the cops follow the truck when it took off? It's not like a semi truck can do a U-turn on a dime right? 🤔

@@gunfunandstuff9226 If they had shot him the cops would have gone to prison, and the Black Panthers would’ve been protesting in Salt Lake City and set the city on fire, not saying it’s right, just stating probable scenario…

I work at a gas station that is really close to where this took place. In fact he stole another semi from our parking lot just minutes after the trooper was hit. Santaquin PD and UHP decided that it would be best to get reinforcements against the semi before following. Knowing it was a slow vehicle and the individual at the time hadnt done anything worse then just running they decided the best move was to stay put and wait for him to stop running. It was at this time that payne (suspect) decided that he wanted to turn around and go after the police since they didn't chase. I'm not sure why the officer was out of his vehicle, I've heard shots were fired but i have not confirmed it. ​@@gunfunandstuff9226

POLICE DO NOT PROTECT TAXPAYERS! (Castle Rock vs Gonzales 545 U.S. 748 (2005) Supreme court says the police "Serve and Protect" the state and" NOT ITS CITIZENS"!

you're thinking comrade. Questioning the propaganda.

Naturally. There needs to be a full investigation. That said, the suspect probably did this intentionally and with malicious intent

Lol utah is so bogus you can do a drive by if you want too tonigjt just stay low for like couple weeks and you will be fine. You can do it mucj as you can just stay low like me

Yes allegedly is the correct legal term until the suspect is convicted. It's nothing to get bent out of shape over.

@@Rastaa69 Admitting you are a criminal that does drive by shootings over the internet isn't "staying low" you now have a digital footprint and admission to guilt. Thankfully most criminals aren't very bright.

Semi truck is a lot harder to forcibly stop than a normal car

I "love" how news anymore leaves people dumb. I mean, I'm dumb, too. News doesn't give relevant info and facts anymore. By design. edit: you're kinda hot, btw

No. The semi driver intentionally turned the truck around to come run the officer over.

That was the most incomprehensible nonsense I've seen in a while. Semi-literacy has become normalized in this country. It's no wonder the Liberals are winning!

Take a very close look at yourself. Just exactly how clean are you?

@@marcmercado2085 I haven't ruined people's lives out of carelessness, personal gain, or horrific motives. That's a lot more than many, many cops can say.

@@interesting9688only reason you would trash cops is because you look over your shoulder or you’re a person of color. I’m very dark myself.

@@marcmercado2085@marcmercado2085 I'm a white male, but I "trash talk" cops because of their inexcusable actions on others and the need for that to end, not in fear of my own safety.

​@@marcmercado2085after the cops abuse innocent people who cares

What is there you don’t understand??? The suspect stole a truck & killed the officer….. his motive is clear….. the question still remains as to “why”?

Not to be that guy but motive is the reason why

His picture is on KUTV 2 News Salt Lake City.

Usual suspects. A trumpet, of course

You have no idea what you're talking about.

@@jeffdur1330your like 12

@@jeffdur1330you never been ina shootout. Come talk to real grown folks about life little kiddo

Yes

Yup.

Its almost like the relationship post 911 between the American Army and the Iraqi public.

You know, I respect freedom of speech, but dude, when a cop dies, it’s a pretty big deal. Imagine your co-worker dying, now imagine that you’ve been serving alongside him in the same car, driving around for years and tell me you ain’t upset.

They're upset that basically a family member died, and it's part of the job benefits. Cops are expected to go into dangerous situations, and if things go south, the cop can be sure everyone will be there to help them in any way possible.

Whte guy

Trumper

Last name is “Michael Erin Jayne”. Does that help you out?!?

😂

Gosh! You are so incredibly brilliant and empathetic. I believe that if you applied for a position in law enforcement you could totally change the profession for the better. Imagine, showing up at a domestic violence situation and you tell the couple to hug it out! Heck if the abuser points the weapon at you then you are so beyond us spiritually that you wouldn't even perish if you were shot. You would be consecrated as a saint among mere mortals. Please, I beg you. Become a cop and teach each and everyone the way to handle each and every situation they could come upon.

Right? So the guy was on top of his truck, what makes that probable cause for a police intervention?

Because… they were driving on the highway with someone on the roof of a semi truck… and that’s dangerous…

@@williambarker5607 AH, I didn't catch the part where they said it was in motion!

Plenty of truck drivers are held accountable. Get real

The lawmakers need to stop illegal immigration and hold criminals accountable. It seems this driver is going to be held accountable.

He’s WT

Saying oh well over something so tragic like this is sick you need to do better

​@utahna the tragedy is the police preying on citizens. We're pushing back

Really?

False. He is not originally from Utah. He started in NM but then again you wouldn’t know that because you’re a MOR_ON

George Floyd wasn't murdered. He OD'd.
