Kentucky State Trooper Killed in Shooting, Suspect Sought

A Kentucky state trooper who had been on the force less than a year was killed in a shooting during a chase in western Kentucky and authorities were searching Monday morning for a suspect. Trooper Joseph Cameron Ponder, 31, was conducting a traffic stop Sunday night around 10:20 p.m. on Interstate 24 when the driver fled, Kentucky State Police said in a news release.

A chase ensued with the suspect stopping abruptly, causing the trooper's vehicle to "make contact" with the rear of the suspect's vehicle, the news release said.

The driver then fired several shots into Ponder's police cruiser, hitting him several times. Ponder was taken to a hospital in Princeton, Kentucky, where he died shortly before midnight, the release said.

The suspect, who police say fled the scene on foot, has been identified as 25-year-old Joseph Thomas Johnson-Shanks. He was described as a black male who's about 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing about 140 pounds.

Ponder had graduated from the Kentucky State Police training academy in January and was stationed at the state police post in Mayfield, the news release said.

My condolences to the family of Trooper Ponder.

None of the articles I've seen say if the suspect, Joseph Thomas Johnson-Shanks, has a previous criminal record nor do they state a motive for the murder of an innocent law officer.

First and foremost, my heart goes out the trooper's family and co-workers. I support all good law enforcement agents, which in my mind is likely 99%+.

Cops have a tough job and lately it's being made even more difficult and dangerous. I will sit here and hope the vitriolic atmosphere Barack Obama and leftists have created isn't part of the motive.

This is a classic example of something that I've been complaining about for some time. Instead of people being able to realize that there are good and bad in every group, they tend to paint everybody in a particular grouping with the same broad brush.

Because there have been a number of really bad actions by some police officers and departments, there are people who are looking at all police as being the same. That is so very wrong but it is indicative of the way things are perceived by way too many folks.

Since the media spends so much time sensationalizing some things, people tend to extrapolate it over much larger areas and circumstances. This is exactly how we're getting so many 'racist' problems.
