PITTSBURGH (Dec. 12) - The body of a state trooper was found near his cruiser after he pulled over a car early Monday, police said.
Cpl. Joseph Pokorny was found dead about 2 a.m. near an exit of Interstate 279 about 5 miles southwest of the city, officials said.
“I just want to say that we are going to work this investigation until the suspects involved in this cowardly murder are behind bars,” said state police Col. Jeffrey B. Miller.
Pokorny, 45, who had been a trooper for more than 22 years, was found by a Carnegie borough police officer. The officer saw Pokorny’s car door open and found the trooper’s body outside of the car.
she cited an almost 25% increase in some studies (which didnt provide the best methods), which i found hard to believe.
after reading this, and then doing some research, i found that there have been 6 police fatalities in the past 3 weeks. 3 just this last 8 days
without COMPREHENSIVE statistics, it does look like violence against law enforcement (if you include prison guards) is increased.
does anyone else notice an increase on the frequency of violence against police too? im searching for a good dissertation topic, and this might be an alley i can head up. maybe identify the issue so that they can try and make it safer for them.
im afraid it will be too sad though. these poor guys. we all need to pray for this trooper and his family and friends…
