    Only if the cat keeps screaming.

    Outside of CDL Life, who's reporting on this?

    Even if all the major news outlets had done initial reporting (they didn't), what follow up reporting are they doing?

    IMO, the dash cam footage should be enough to announce the officer's termination, not just that he'd been given a ticket. Then again, I would think my multiple complaints to the Washington County Sheriffs Department over the last 2 years would have resulted in car 143 not making dangerous u-turns in front of semis to reset speed traps when the next exit is less than 1/4 away. He leaves the shoulder on the northbound side, makes a hard cut for the "emergency vehicle only" crossover, then heads 1/2 mile south where he can reset his speed trap. It's only a matter of luck he hasn't (to my knowledge) caused an accident.

    Twitter,Fox28 Columbus and of course OSHP released the dashcam footage themselves(not like they had much choice given the severity of the accident).

    That does not happen with teachers or administrators. It may have in the past but those days are long over, like 20+ years in the past. Was a long time teacher and saw that change over the years. A change I applaud in fact. I think most states have laws now about that kind of cover-up.
