The widow of a Florida police officer killed while escorting President Barack Obama's motorcade has sued the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, saying it was negligent in her husband's death.

Jupiter Police Officer Bruce St. Laurent died Sept. 9, 2012, after being struck by a pickup truck while he prepared to shut down a stretch of Interstate 95 ahead of the motorcade as Obama campaigned in Florida. His wife, Brenda St. Laurent, sued the sheriff's office for unspecified damages, claiming it "negligently allowed" the driver of the truck to enter the highway.

“The report said she had slammed on her breaks but could not avoid crashing into St. Laurent’s motorcycle.”

What break did she slam to avoid hitting the officer?

Was it her lunch break, her dinner break, her coffee break or maybe even hrt smoke break?

She should have included odumbo in the suit. Odumbo was there and protecting odumbo was the reason the officer had to stop traffic. Odumbo should be found guilty for creating the situation that caused the officers death.

(That my friends is how a liberal would setup his offense)

I don’t get it...they should have shut down the highway BEFORE he started the preparations to shut down the highway?

In August 1987, copy editors across the nation were killed and eaten by the illiterate savages that populate newsrooms. Unfortunately, no one has been available to edit copy for errors that 2nd graders make since then....
