Trooper Werner Foerster was shot and killed with his own service weapon after backing up another trooper who had stopped a vehicle containing two men and a woman on New Jersey Turnpike.
The subjects started struggling with the troopers and were able to disarm Trooper Foerster. One of the men opened fire, killing Trooper Foerster and wounding the other trooper. Despite the wounds, the other trooper was able to return fire and killed of the subject.
The three subjects were members of the Black Liberation Army. The two surviving subjects were convicted of Trooper Foerster's murder, but the female suspect escaped from prison in 1979 and fled to Cuba, where she has remained at large.
The man who shot Trooper Werner was sentenced to life in prison. He was denied parole in 2011, but in September 2014, the New Jersey Superior Court overturned the ruling and ordered that the subject be paroled.
An accomplice who helped the female subject escape was placed on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list in 1982. He was arrested in 1986 for his involvement in the 1981 murders of two Nyack, New York, police officers.
Trooper Foerster had served with the New Jersey State Police Department for almost three years. He is survived by his wife and two children and is buried in Beth Abraham Cemetery, East Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey.
The Route 18 overpass on the New Jersey Turnpike was dedicated the Werner Foerster Overpass in his honor.
The Black Liberation Army was a violent, radical group that attempted to fight for independence from the United States government in the late 1960's and early 1970's. The BLA was responsible for the murders of more than 10 police officers around the country. They were also responsible for violent attacks around the country that left many police officers wounded.
Black Panther Sundiata Acoli, Co-Defendant of Assata Shakur, Ordered Released After 40 Years
September 30, 2014
Democracy Now [Communist site]
Black Panther Sundiata Acoli [real name, Clark Edward Squire] has been ordered released on parole by a state appeals court in New Jersey after more than four decades in prison. Acoli and fellow Black Panther Assata Shakur [real name, Joanne Chesimard] were both convicted of killing New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster in 1973 after being pulled over on the New Jersey Turnpike. The shootout left both the officer and a fellow Black Panther, [real name, James F. Coston] Zayd Malik Shakur, dead. Assata Shakur [Joanne Chesimard] has said she was shot by police with both arms in the air, and then again from the back. [I don’t know that chesimard was shot at all.] She later managed to escape from jail and flee to Cuba. Last year she became the first woman added to the FBI’s most wanted list. [Clark Edward Squire] Sundiata Acoli is now 77 years old. On Monday, the court ordered his release, finding the parole board had "acted arbitrarily and capriciously" when it previously denied him parole.

YEP, life does not mean forever, neither does life without the possibility of parole or natural life or any of that stuff.
Somehow, someway, they get out.
Look at the clenched fist and the BIG MOUTH. They have big mouths.
Look at that one cop escorting the prisoner. Hands in his pockets. OH, he is ready for anything, isn't he? NO!
Dealing with a very dangerous person and in such a nonchalant manner.
