Cop shot dead: Kentucky State Trooper killer suspect was ‘Black Lives Matter’ activist - TomoNews

My Comments: This violence is promoted by this administration by their actions and inactions, by their deeds and words. As well, Louis Farrakhan has promoted murder of white people to his black audience and the violence is escalating. Meanwhile, our president does nothing when 9 police officers were murdered in two weeks. He’s playing golf. God help us! VIDEO IS LESS THAN 2 MINUTES.

EDDYVILLE, KENTUCKY — The Missouri man suspected of killing Kentucky State Trooper Joseph Cameron Ponder before dying in shootout with cops, was reportedly an active “Black Lives Matter” supporter who protested against violence.

At 10:20 p.m. on Sunday, September 13, Joseph Thomas Johnson-Shanks was reportedly pulled over along I-24 westbound for reasons as yet unknown. Two women and two children were also in the car.

Johnson-Shanks’ license had been suspended, but Officer Ponder decided not to make an arrest. Instead, the trooper tried to help, suggesting the group spend the night at a nearby hotel. Suddenly, however, Johnson-Shanks fled and the trooper began a high-speed pursuit.

Johnson-Shanks then suddenly stopped, causing Ponder to crash into the rear of the car. He then leaned out of his window and fired multiple shots at the trooper.

Former Navy veteran and since this January, Kentucky State Trooper Joseph Cameron Ponder, died at a local hospital at 11:41 p.m. He was 31 years-old.

Police say the suspect then fled into the woods on foot, leaving the women and children behind. At around 7 a.m., police spotted him in a wooded area and officers closed in.

Johnson-Shanks refused orders to drop his weapon and after pointing his gun in the direction of an officer, he was fatally shot by police.

A Facebook account under the name “Jay MileHigh” is believed to have been used by Johnson-Shanks. The page featured dozens of images of Johnson-Shanks participating in “Black Lives Matter” protests as well as pictures of him attending the funeral of slain teen Michael Brown.

Johnson-Shanks appeared to be a person committed to nonviolence, and in one post, he seems to even defend police who shot a man with a knife.
