As a resident of Arkansas for over 35 years I am absolutely sick of the Arkansas State Police preening like peacocks and being hailed heroes for daily high speed chases that have killed numerous innocent people and injured many more while leaving them with their vehicles destroyed and permanent injuries, this female trooper is one of many terrorizing our State every day. Thank you IZZO for being genuinely transparent and being a voice of reading I can trust
