People Shocked By What Cop Was Caught Doing On The Side Of The Road
By Timfly
Someone quickly snapped a picture when they saw what an Ohio police officer was doing by a street sign on a busy interstate. However, viewers are in shock by what else was in the widely shared image – and there’s no questioning what got everyone’s attention.
The picture was posted on the Facebook page Ohio Going Blue and is quickly being shared far and wide. Taken just off of I-71 in Franklin County, it depicts an officer who had pulled off the side of the road to do a little “work” on a nearby street sign.
As seen in the image, the officer was hanging the widely-known pro-cop American flag, with the recognizable thin blue line, underneath the “Deputy Marty Martin Memorial Highway” sign in honor and memory of the man who had passed away:
Deputy Sheriff Marty Martin of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office (Ohio) was killed in an automobile accident on on I-71, near I-270, while he and another deputy worked an undercover operation at approximately 12:30 am.

Although the other officer in the car only came out with a few moderate injuries, Deputy Martin later succumbed to the damage his body incurred during the wreck. He served on the force for 10 years before the accident and is survived by his wife and child – but clearly, he is not forgotten.
Every day police officers put their lives on the line to protect us. They are not entirely sure whether they’ll return home at the end of their shift and it takes a special kind of person to volunteer for a task with that kind of risk. It’s what we typically refer to as a hero.
