Was the red truck driver a recent arrival, ?

This poor guy died hassling people about seatbelts from someone who obv wasn’t supposed to be on the road in first place? How about enforcing that…

America's tired of the road pirates.

The most precious right a government can gift its people, is the right to be left alone.

I'm surprised that the capital has the American flag flying instead of flying the Israel flag like they were doing last week.

Or better yet the rainbow queer flag!

How Green is that.... having 50 cars idling while being paid 50 an hr.?

[@diapricea4888]

So sad. Clear the road. Always. Even if off the road, cars veer not paying attention. Earbuds should be banned

All those cops wasting resources... disgusting.

Another one bites the dust!
He forgot to protect his pension while serving his EGO

Did they really need 500 troopers there? Get your asses back on patrol.

[@deborahd.7281]

This is terrible, of course these inane on camera news readers do their same old do-nothing blather, along with the politicians. Fix the problem instead of talking about it and getting your tv time.
