I wonder if this was a Camlann-type incident? Guy goes to get a coffee (must have missed all those cop cars in front), barista spots illegal gun and freaks - deadly mayhem ensues.

Back inside the slammer for parole violation 3+ years later.

Second degree rape of a child and posts a $150,000 bond.
Wonder where he got the $15,000 he had to chip in?
Assualt on LEO, as well.

Other charges in WA including making wife and young relatives strip naked.

Walking around telling others he was Jesus.

Sounds like fourth officer may have shot him, mortally from earlier reports today.

I really hope thats correct....I had the hardest time believing that 4 officers ,with their training, could get shot and killed by one guy wih one gun! Someone or a couple had to be able to return fire....

So when is Al Sharpton coming to protest for the officers and their families? Just wondering why his fat greasy $1,000 suit wearing ass isnt there now.

You KNOW why he isn't there...there's no money to be made for him there. Now if all 4 cops were Black and the perp' were White, he'd be outside that coffee shop right now with his bullhorn, rallying his troops.

why is anyone surprised that this guy got off 4 (or more) shots? the police officers were presumably right next to each other and attacked with no warning. two of them were probably not even facing their attacker. anyone with a 10 round mag and the element of surprise can easily do what he did, and without any previous professional training.

well, I am surprised...but the witnesses may clear it up for me...unless he walked right up to them , and was standing right behind or really close by , so he was able to pull his one gun on them at very close range...I dont think an untrained guy can shoot 4 armed , trained officers that easily...
one or two of them would have reacted, thrown themselves to the side/down while pulling weapon(s)....maybe one did?
I certainly hope so.

I might suggesting reading up on what actually happened before making any other speculative posts.

[JLHarper]

Its all been reported in the news.......

As of this AM in article I read.

I don't blame the officers however, I mean who would ever expect to get shot getting coffee with their friends in a public place at the beginning of their shift?

Yes -they were probably totally surprised -like what happened to the 4 RCMP officers that were gunned down in Alberta -beyond comprehension .

[Mattman]

Good,he is dead. Why the heck would people want to help and or hide this guy? Oh ya,I know why. Brothaly love.

[Jeff Hamlin]

Dead indeed, IMO there should be no other option.
One less sc*mbag tying up the system... NEXT!

[JackF]

The police have 3? family members and or friends in custody with more on the way. they hope to have 7 or 8 people in custody when all is said and done for aiding and hiding this Scum Bag. As I am typing this the police announced they have 5 now in custody. It is reported that some of these people gave false tips to the police to lead them away from the from the now dead SOB.

What's the verdict on this? I'm thinking he wasn't Muslim because he was telling everyone he was Jesus, but I haven't heard for sure yet.

[JackF]

"They" wouldn't say even if he was, it wouldn't be "PC".

Jack.

[65Mark]

They are charging one of his cohorts with murder, he drove the pickup to take the guy there and to escape knowing what the bastard was going to do.

yeah, probably a secret conspiracy to hide muslims involved in killings.....I must have missed that one.

[JackF]

Formula,

I don't know if he is or isn't. All I'm saying is if he is it won't be mentioned in the MSM as it isn't PC to insult muslims.

Maybe I'm out $50 then? Sure would have fit the template for 99.9% of all angry Black men that have been incarcerated though, wouldn't it.

I really doubt it. Where are you getting your statistics?

What planet do you live on? First off, the guy shot four officers in cold blood. I don't think you could insult the guy enough. Second, if he were a Muslim, it would be on every news source and make the rotation endlessly as a terrorist attack. I do not know where you are finding anyone hiding the fact when a Muslim is involved in a murder such as this that he was a Muslim. The irony is that now that we know evidently the SOB was not a Muslim, nobody cares what religion he is. If anything, the only time a murderer's religion becomes an issue is when he is a Muslim. I am not defending the issue, just pointing out the irony in your assertion.
