Get that fucker.

2 I have never been more proud of my country.

3 Clearly this act was committed by a Glenn Beck fan who hates the government.

4 Let's not jump to any conclusions.   This is probably just a completely innocent difference of opinion.

5   Yeah, but whatever you do, don't hit the perpetrator in the face and give him a fat lip.  Because that would be wrong.

6 Please, please!  In the name of allah, let's not jump to any conclusions!

7 Another story claims two suspects. 

8
Did the police act stupidly?

9 Fucking scumbag. 

10

There are two suspects, one male and one black male, q13Fox.com reported.

I guess the other suspect was just a "what"? er, not Black I guess,

Was he a white guy with a small dick?

11 CNN will break in for balloon boy but not 4 cops shot dead?

12

There was a story about a month or so back about some leftist fuck in the Seattle area who assissinated a cop.

These fuckers could put out their own Marxist manifestos on YouTube..but the media will still wondr what the motivation is

13 Fox not breaking in either...shameful

14 Or MSNBC..bet they break in for Tiger

15 Who would possibly have a motivation to ambush airmen in a (presumably) civilian area?  It wouldn't appear to be personal with 4 of them dead.  No robbery.

Wait, I've heard of something kind of similar.  Indiscriminate killing of military members just for being in the military.  It happened in Arkansas and again in Texas.

Undoubtedly this is a man-caused tragedy that results from casual contact with the PSTD virus.

16

Here's the story of the cop who was assissinated (the only way to describe it) by the leftist fuck last month.

Sorry, y'all...but I don't think this is anything to be joking about

17 The cops in this case clearly acted stupidly.

18

On a Sunday morning too--unadulterated cowardice.   

19 Terrible news.  Hope they catch the MFer(s) who did this and I hope their existence ends horribly. 

20 crap comment deleted

21 I misread, they were all cops, not military.  Yeah, probably related to Seattle.

22

I noted over at the Seattle Times site that we're coming up on the anniversary of teh WTO riots of 99.  I wonder if there's an anarchist connection.  Great, a nation full of lone nuts each killing for an insane cause. 

23 wonder if they were having donuts with their coffee

24 They weren't Airman.  They were civilian cops.  If they were AF SF, they would not have been at an off-base coffee shop getting ready for their shift.  And #20, FUCK YOU. 

25 There are two suspects, one male and one black male, q13Fox.com reported.

Yeah, I don't get that, although I will leave words out when typing sometimes, maybe they were wearing masks and long sleeves.  Hopefully, this will end in a flurry of bullets into the suspects car.

26

Sorry for the spelling...I wrote "assissinated" twice.

This is not an isolated incident...the assassin of the Seattle cop last month was done by a leftist fuck who had bomb-making material in his house.

27

Only in Seattle.  The Times web sites comments?  Damn guns made em do it!

Oh, also only in Seattle would this line be in a story.

"The baristas who were inside the shop are "stunned and shocked, traumatized"

Yeah, let's worry about the coffee clerks being stunned, WTF about the cops?  Guess they were stunned a little bit too.

Baristas? Jeezes, unemployable college grads, sociology majors no doubt, making coffee.

28 Zippy will blame the cops.

29
Wow, the bitter-clinger wingnuts in this country have truly gone psycho. I blame Glenn Beck and hating on a black president.

30 Don't bunch up.

31
Anybody who is crazy enough to do this certainly won't be taken alive.

Good.

32 One black suspect and one, presumably, white suspect.  The pretty much rules out gang-bangers.  Leaving either a political or religious motivation.  I'm going to put my bet on political.

33 crap

34 what Blazer Said.  The best possible outcome at this point is suicide by cop.

35 Just don't hit 'em in the mouth when you catch em!

36

Oh, now the story has changed looks like the white guy with the small dick was just a cover to hide the RACIST story line.

"Troyer said the suspect is a black male, 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-10, 20s to 30s, scruffy appearance, wearing a black coat, blue jeans"

Am I wrong, but doesn't this describe 90% of the criminals in the country?

Just axing?

37  Charles Johnson is even now composing a post proving that some anti-government, white-supremacist, Beck-loving yahoo did this.

And you will be banned for doubting.

38 Charles who?

39
This is the difference between conservative and leftists, and between muslims and the rest of the world.

We condemn this act of violence immediately, whereas the leftist or muslim will wait and see who perpetrated the heinous act and upon who it was committed.

The leftist/muslim will reserve judgment or perhaps even justify or equivocate the perpertrator if it suits their political/religious agenda.

40 Can't we all just get along?

41 So if these are leftist/anarchist wackos, what's their beef?  Are we not destroying the country quickly enough?   

42

 Leaving either a political or religious motivation.  I'm going to put my bet on political.

There are fucking leftards defending the assassination of the Seattle cop last month.

..yeah... it's fucking political

43 One black suspect and one, presumably, white suspect. Frequently in cases of missing racial identity it turns out to be middle eastern not white

44 As a resident of the greater Seattle area, I feel so bad for the officers and their families. I hope they get all of these ...kers soon and hang them till almost dead for a few hours and then finish the job. Only the liberal idiots blame the guns; unfortunately, this area is brimming with liberal idiots.

If he isn't, he's at least praying that is what it turns out to be. He was totally let down when it was proven the census worker in Tennessee committed suicide. Nothing has gone his way lately, fuckin' douchebag.

46

We haven't decided whether the suspect committed suicide or died trying to escape.

We'll get back with you.

47 Looks like the Presbyterians are up to their old tricks again.

48 Is there any chance this is some kind of a gang thing?  It could be political or Islamic terrorism, but political terrorists make announcements/demands and Islamic terrorists tend to shoot everyone, not just cops.

I'm going to go with either "gang initiation" or "revenge for police killing/arrest of shooter's friend/kin"

49 10 Was he a white guy with a small dick?

You wingers' attempts to implicate me in this tragedy are deplorable. Have you no decency, sir?

Zelaya is urging his supporters to boycott the election,....all two of 'em.

57 When the SWAT team corners these animals, look for a textbook application of Rule 556.

Fine by me.

58

Zelaya only thinks of himself, apparently.

@57

Rule 762 would work equally well in this case.  Plus you can apply this rule "effectively" from up to 800 meters, rather than the normal 300-400 meter range of Rule 556.

60

My prayers go out to the families of the murdered officers.

The police officers managed to take the evil motherfucker who killed the officer on Halloween alive. Paralyzed, but alive. I have faith that they will do their best to also capture this suspect (suspects?) alive, as much as they would wish to do otherwise.

We live in very scary times, very scary times indeed. Will this type of violence grow? I suspect the answer is yes.

For a guy who was crying that Democracy wasn't adhered to, he sure seems like he has no desire to participate in it.

62
Guess there is no more off duty.
Seems like this kind of shit is up more since you know who took office.

63
you're right, ol' chum.

Zelaya wants to be re-installed as president and doesn't give a shit about democracy. He never did.

64 What happened at Fort Hood, remember, is that it looked like multiple suspects with one identifiable as a Mediterranean. Here, we have multiple suspects with one identifiable as an average-height scruffy black guy.

The pattern here is that onlookers assume there are more perps just because of the amount of mayhem going on at the time. A big guy who is trying to run away might look like he is lunging toward the witness, adding to the total count.

In short, 24 Hour Rule

65

Horrifying news as I come in from the November sunhsine, free of such tragedy. 

Prayers for the families. 

Justice for the animal(s) who did this.

66 For once I have to compliment the media. Our local NBC station is at the scene and while they are broadcasting photos from their helicopter they aren't showing the positions or the whereabouts of any of the law enforcement officers who are looking for the suspect in order to not put any more officers in jeopardy.

67 Any chance these  a-holes were OTC's  (Other Than Christian)?

68 Maybe it was a typo that  has been corrected.  This is what I got at the link:

Police are now searching for the two suspects, one white male and one black male, q13Fox.com reported.

What an awful day.  My prayers to the officers' families. 

69 politicalmuse 62, I had a friend who was a cop from the Detroit area. She never acted like she was off duty. That scene in "Sea of Love", where those douches call out Pacino for his "cop's eyes"? Every time we went to a restaurant - those cop's eyes scanned all the people around.

At the time I thought she was too uptight but with stories like this... maybe she was right all along.

70 Does Washington have capital punishment?

I thought they were just online now, no? 

 

73
Biggest story of the day and guess who decided to pick up the Climate Change chicken again ?

74 Zimriel I have a hard time believing just one shooter can kill four armed cops without at least one of them being able to react in time

75 I agree with the 24-hour rule for us. Officers on the scene don't have that luxury, so they may have to bring the "suspect" in, rather than simply put him down.

76

Any chance these  a-holes were OTC's  (Other Than Christian)?

Always a chance, but I doubt this was a jihadi thing. If you're going to shoot up a coffee house, why just target cops? Why not just spray the whole place with gunfire? This doesn't smell like a gang-hit, either -- too open, too public, and would bring way too much heat down on the brothers.

No, this was a vendetta of some kind. This looks and smells a whole lot like a Mob hit (or organized crime of some kind). Fast and targeted. Or maybe it was just one or two cops, and the hitter didn't know which one(s), so he hit them all to be sure. It could have been a personal beef on the part of the shooter, but I don't get that vibe: generally, a personal beef ends with a personal shooting, not a group assassination.

My guess? Drug-running, and at least one bent cop who got on the bad side of his boys.*

*Or I'm completely full of shit, and this was just some looneybird on a mission from the voices in his head.

 

77

They don't know yet if the other officers had time to draw before they too were shot, they are working on reconstructing the scene now.

Considering they were taken completely by surprise, and were sitting working on their laptops, I can believe that someone could walk in and shoot them in cold blood before they had time to react.

There were others in the coffee shop at the time that the gunman did not shoot.

78 74


4 police officers sitting having coffee with their computers would not be hard at all for 1 person to shoot.

79 My thoughts pretty much mirror everyone's above.

So, is anyone keeping track of the number of mass shootings there have been since teh Won has been prez?

80 My WAG? Mob hit, drug hit and/or voices in head guy.

Sadly, that's better than the alternatives.

Taking a break from pushing Kindle sales is he?

82 This is the second time in under a month that left wing hate filled blacks have killed white police officers. Guess what won't be covered in the media even locally.

83 There were others in the coffee shop at the time

PGiS, are your Seattle CCW laws as stringent as LA's? Every time I see something like this, I always wonder, "What if other people were allowed to be armed so they could help prevent things like this?"

84 76


I'm thinking and praying your correct. A vendetta or dirty cop scenario maybe but 4 dirty cops? That's a little too Hollywood. That said this could get real out of hand if it does turn out to be a terrorist act. (Sorry couldn't remember the new Obama PC term for these types of acts)

85 Is there a marked difference between a fleabag anarchist type and a voices-in-the-head guy?

86 IT must have just been a scene of carnage.  The spokesman said they were in full uniform waiting to go on shift so he implied they were wearing kevlar vests.

By the time the responders got there they were deceased and that was confirmed a few minutes later by responding medics.   

Either there must have just been a hail of bullets, or they were placed with sickening lethality.

 

87 #78 I disagree these aren't average citizens they are trained to react.I would believe after the first shot the training kicks in without thinking.Unlees the perp was using a shotgun it would be pretty difficult to kill four officers that quickly

88

Not that we don't have mob here (Russian) or dirty officers, but my guess would lean more toward gang related, grudge, or a crazy person, though I would think a crazy person would have shot everyone, not just the police officers.

I don't think this is related, but we've also had some robbers impersonating police officers and robbing fast food places after they close, they also raped one manager. I can't remember if it was in this area or farther south toward Olympia.

89 If taken alive, trial by jury, if guilty, 1 appeal, if rejected, sentence carried out within 30 days. That's justice! 

90 They all were from the Lakewood PD.

91

Rum, I'm not sure about our concealed carry laws, but I think everything happened so fast that no one had time to react.

Of course training will kick in with the police officers, but they were sitting at tables, drinking coffee and working on their laptops I doubt they had a chance. They were also in full uniform, meaning they had their vests on as well. So, the shooter was obviously fairly accurate.

I don't think this was a case of the guy walking in the door and opening fire, I would assume he was fairly close to the officers when he started shooting.

92 87

Don't know about you,but I have several good friends that are Baltimore City police and 2 secret service agents and not 1 can come close to my speed or accuracy when we go to the range. These guys arent super heroes they are normal people with dangerous jobs. They qualify once a year in the range most dont practice very often with their firearms (certainley not quick draw tactics) and heres a dirty little secret I've known many who had to either have their partners qualify them by shooting across the lane (since they qualify side by side, at least here) or vice versa qualify their partners. (you get 2 attempts here in good ol Charm City)

93 #83 - I'm not PGIS but...

Stunningly, for as liberal as Seattle is and as much as it tries to sway the rest of the state, Wa is a right to carry state.  You have to apply for and pay for a background check, but if you're not a felon etc, you are issued Concealed Carry permit.   

94

The shooter didn't kill the rest of the people in the coffee shop, he either was awfully sure of himself or is looking forward to getting caught.

95 The linked article clearly says one white male and one black male now.

And this is not a joking matter, folks. We're better than that.

96 McChord AFB is the home of the USAF's 62nd Airlift Wing

62nd Airlift Wing Factsheet

McChord AFB has 45 C-17 Globemaster III aircraft. A C-17 crew consists of a pilot, co-pilot and loadmaster. The aircraft costs approximately $200 million per unit. The C-17 has a cruise speed of 522 mph at 28,000 feet (Mach .74). It also has a global range with in-flight refueling. Its maximum load is 170,000 pounds, and it can fit two large buses, three helicopters, one of the Army's newest tanks or other outsized cargo. In addition, it features heads-up display, airdrop capabilities of both cargo and 102 paratroopers, and is able to land on small, austere airfields - landing in as short as 3,000 feet.

My WAG - a security-related rehearsal/evaluation

97 Mob hit is sounding more likely, jus with this little bit of information coming in. Are the cartels moving in on Seattle? I'm convinced they own the LA City Council.

98 Starting to feel like the 1970's all over again.

99

I'm not sure where the linked article is getting its information because I am watching the live coverage on our local news station and the department spokesman hasn't updated the media for about 15 minutes.

They have taken a pick-up truck from a grocery store into impound and they are converging with a SWAT team presence on a home near the grocery store but no information on why.

100 OK, another media update happening right now.

101 Washington state allows *open* carry (with the exceptions of courthouses and places that sell alcohol).  The area around McChord probably has more armed population than Seattle, but I doubt many of them hang around expensive latte joints.

102 Monty is right.  From what I understand, that area is a cesspool of drug activity.

I'm sure that the suspect, when caught, will draw a weapon in a threatening manner.  "Officer Smith, can you explain why you reloaded after shooting the suspect 10 times?"  "I thought he was going for his gun."

103

The media update was basically just a spanking of some of the media that are behaving badly by broadcasting locations of the SWAT team etc.

The most up to date information is still only one suspect.

104
2 man team that kills only cops, no robbery or other victims.  That's a message killing.  Somebody is unhappy enough with the police to go to war with them, and isn't worrying about losing, so they probably have someone inside the state AG office.  Gotta be drugs.

Canadian mob from Vancouver?  Seattle is a big transshipment point.

105
More than likely, this will turn out to be something gang-related (i.e. gang initiation).
Or it could be someone that just hates the police or someone that had a personal vendetta against one of them and took all four of them out.

I'll put my bet on gang-related.

For all the people that think that it would be hard to carry out something like this: No, it wouldn't.

Speed, surprise and violence of action wins every time.

106 My instinct says this is terrorism related.

107

I'm not sure why people still keep talking about 2 suspects, the latest from the police spokesperson is still just one suspect, a black male 5'6" to 5'10" scruffy looking, wearing blue jeans and a black coat. He fled on foot after the shooting.

There are at least 2 baristas and one or more customers with police right now who witnessed the whole thing so I think the description that the police have put out is fairly accurate thus far to what they know.

108
Just one shooter?  Well that pulls my Vancouver mafia theory off the table.  Sorry.  Now I agree with Polynikes, it's John Mohammed 2.

109 Speculation is pointless. Wait for facts, I say.

110 Maybe the msm is saying one black guy and one white guy because it sounds more pc - I'm surprised the msm isn't just saying "two men" -

111 Or I'm completely full of shit...

Bingo.

112 The local television media is being very clear: one suspect black male.

113 Anyone brazen enough to assasinate 4 cops in broad daylight is a total psycopath (religiously motivated or not) and deserves to die!!

114 I live in Los Angeles and if there is one thing I've observed about the gangs here is that they are not known for their marksmanship. and usually unintended targets get hurt.

115 It wouldn't have to be someone who's an elite shooter to pull something like this off.  A few shots at point-blank range at a person's head are pretty catastrophic.  As for reaction time, have you ever tried to draw a gun sitting down?  Heck (presuming legality), go out to your car and try to take your gun from its holster as though you were going to put it away.  It's awkward and slow at best.  If these cops were sitting in a booth then probably only one of them ever even had any chance at all of being able to draw. 

Against unaware, boxed-in targets even a snub-nosed revolver could have been used here so long as the shooter had even a little bit of experience.

116 70 Does Washington have capital punishment? HELL YES! We do! But Seattle has a much different mind set then the rest of the State. Remember Wesley Allen Dood. He was the killer pedophile here in Clark County. Yep the State helped him to meet his maker and it didn't take half a life time to get him done either. No appeals, nothing. Dood was hanged, at his own request. That was the way he killed the children. A friend of mine was a jurist for the Dood trial. He is still in therapy from the the gruesome stuff he had to see. At that was 15 or so years ago. My prayers for the families of these 4 public servants.

117 The possibilities here are all beyond strange.

1) The four dead officers (or three, or at least two) were specific targets of a hit team.  (If only one officer was the target, there would have been other opportunities to kill him or her with less risk.)  In that scenario, there would likely be a clear motive tied to some prior police investigation or activity.

OR

2) This was akin to the other police assassination in Seattle, where the earlier crime spurred others to take similar "revolutionary" action.

OR

3) This was an act of sudden or not-so-sudden jihad targeting visible symbols of American authority.  People who might have wanted to infiltrate and attack military personnel at McChord AFB decided to go after a softer target.

I am not sure where I'd put my money if I had to bet on one of these possibilities.

118 I'm actually hoping the cops catch him alive. He has a lot of stairs to fall down, a lot of doors to bump into, and a lot of coffee to spill on his nuts, before he accidentally exits a helicopter.

119 Thanks for the update PGIS.  I can't find ONE single iota of information on TV.  Amazing.  Maybe if they had been assaulted by Tiger's wife wielding a golf club.  Meh. 

120 Over at Sound Politics.com they are saying that radio stations are reporting that there was only one shooter.

121 So not gang, not mob, not terrorist.  That leaves a fellow cop they all crossed or a crazy guy who is a real good shot.

122 Texas is thinking of replacing their electric chair with an electric couch.  Texas don't f... around.  Home to good looking women and cowboys.  Gotta love Texas.

123 Well, if it is a Jihadi act, the MSM will have to break out the Emergency Excuse Equipment, again.

124 PGiS: What station are you watching? Do they have a web feed?

And how do they describe the suspect now?

125 Well who knows what's going on now. About 8-10 police cars took off with full lights and sirens a few minutes ago headed north, also at one of the perimeters, by the house where they took someone into custody--though not the suspect, the police have put on their tactical gear and are standing with weapons pointed into the area.

126 114

True Bulwark but at these close ranges it doesn't take an expert. If they were seated in a booth it would have been almost impossible for them to react in time.
The gang bangers in LA are usually either driving by in a car or running away from each other shooting back behind themselves.

#105 & #115 had it right.

Hunt this POS down and don't let him make it to a trial. Let the detectives figure out what motivated him from his left over personal belongings.

127 I hope their names are Aziz and Mohamhead.

128 116 70

Thank you...

The FBI came out last week and said that hate crimes were on the increase in the Richmond area. Of course the president of the local NAACP came out swinging in a press conference.

Which is funny, because the FBI doesn't say in their report who's perpetrating the hate crimes against who.

I stupidly thought that having a black presedent would make race realtions better.  It was the only good thing I could see about electing Obama. 

But he has just made them worse, and he's on the fast track to destroy the USA as we know it.

158 You missed one.

gang related initiation. Just as bizarre a possibility, but still plausible at this point.

Posted by: Bill in Baltimore at November 29, 2009 03:22 PM (6g7Js)

I guess that is a possibility.  Apparently there is a Pierce County Violent Crime Task Force that has to deal with gang activity in and around Tacoma. 

159

Jason Blair, Dan Rather, OJ, Michael Mann, and Al Gore walk into a bar...and freeze to death

No go with it!

I'm not sure if race war is accurate, but there definitely is an explosion of violence here, mostly black on black though there is a rise on groups of "youths" (in this case that is usually code for black gang members) attacking innocent people at bus stops etc.

They cry about being targeted, yet 9 times out of 10 the violence rests solely in their backyard. Until we start being honest about this and stop hiding behind "political correctness" it will only get worse. I honestly don't know what the solution is.

We have one intersection in Seattle, 3rd and Pine, where there is a permanent police presence now due to all the violence. And that is only a few blocks from the downtown malls and from Pike Place Market. Never walk on the McDonalds side of the street when you are walking from Westlake to Pike Place.

161 Odd, no mention of the races of the murdered police officers.

Sorry, but that sounds rather paranoid to me. 

163 "Let's not jump to any conclusions. This is probably just a completely innocent difference of opinion." Yeah the police officers' opinion was that getting shot = bad, the shooter obviously had a different one. Maybe Barry O will steal that line from me when he gets on TV and explains that some people just really believe that the police need more metal in their diets and the best way to get it in there is with a gun, the police disagree, but according to Barry O everyone's entitled to their opinion... except when he's "trying" to clean up a "mess."

164 So when doe spreznint fuk nuttz declare this act a 'discussion'?

We're so fucked it isn't even funny anymore.

165 Since we are all just guessing, I am going with guy who was a wife beater, got arrested by these guys and got his kids taken away. Grudge.

166

Sorry, but that sounds rather paranoid to me. 

I call it prudent. Between the youths and the homeless that hang out at that McDonalds you can never be sure if you are going to be mugged, peed on, or set on fire. Even with the police car parked right there.

And lest you think I'm exaggerating, we had a crazy person dousing people with lighter fluid and setting them on fire a few summers ago here.

167
If the Officer's are white, Obama will have Gibby mention the incident in the morning briefing, but if the Officer's are black, President Obama will speak at length about the tragedy and dispatch The Wookie to the funeral service. 

If the Officer's are mixed black and white, it will warrant little if any response, but Gibby will speak eloquently about how America must learn to love and  respect each other after eight years of Bush hatred. 

168 Now we will have listen and get lectured on how oppressed the black man is for the next week.  OK, OK, I know and admit it is all my white ass fault those 4 cops got killed.

169

Prayers for the victims, and thank you PGIS for the updates.

Tacoma PD and locals, take this one to the end.

 

170 Seattle's oldest civil rights organization says that complaints of racial profiling are rising and that the mayor's recent statements of concern for troubled youths will be nothing more than empty words without reducing police harassment of black teens.

Young black males commit crimes at 10X the rate of whites. Keeping them under close watch is only rational. They commit most of the crimes, so they fit the profile of the typical criminal. If blacks won't clean up their act, their act will be cleaned up for them, out of the need for law abiding citizens to protect themselves from black thuggery.

171

Faux News is now reporting there was only one shooter, using a pistol.

The perp was reportedly "scruffy looking" and "black".

Obviously more racist reporting from the Murdoch magnate.

Barack Obama as America's first Black President is only symbolic as far as race relations are concerned, with one exception: by appointing Eric Holder as Attorney General, he's created a channel for policies to create "racial justice" -- payback -- as in the refusal of the Justice Department to charge the New Black Panther Party members who blocked access to the polling place in Philadelphia.

174

Riiiiiight.  We see clearly, this very moment, how police are harrassing blacks.

Tsk, tsk.  It's just shameful

ABSOLUTELY! The scruffy looking descrption could be MSM code for islamic beard.

176 Fox is reporting that the cops were all wearing body armor and therefore most likely all the shots were head shots.

Posted by: ParanoidGirlInSeattle at November 29, 2009 04:05 PM (RZ8pf)

I don't for a moment believe you were exaggerating, and fully understand there are areas in every medium sized city that are dangerous.  I live in Juno Beach, Florida which abuts West Palm Beach and there are areas in that city that should not be driven by white folks. 

The politicos try to cover up the mayhem and carnage the underclass produces, but with dangerous young criminals on the street looking for cred or money, it's very foolhardy for people who are unarmed to assume it won't happen to them. 

178 Gee, could this be at all related?  Happened just yesterday.

http://bit.ly/6rcUmi

Pierce County sheriff's deputies shot and killed a man Saturday afternoon following reports of an erratic driver and an ensuing high-speed chase in Puyallup.

Sheriff's Detective Ed Troyer said two officers opened fire on the man after he tried to run them down.

The name of the shooting victim was not immediately available. Troyer said he was wanted on an outstanding warrant for felony abuse of a child.

Troyer said several motorists called 911 to report an erratic driver who had struck several vehicles late Saturday afternoon. Responding deputies spotted the gold-colored SUV and gave chase. After the SUV ran at least one red light, struck other vehicles and knocked down several signs, deputies performed a high-speed maneuver designed to force the car to spin out and stop. The move was successful and the vehicle wound up in a ditch, Troyer said.

But the driver tried to drive off, even as several patrol cars and deputies arrived at the scene. One patrol car was rammed and, as deputies on foot approached the SUV, the driver tried to accelerate toward them and they opened fire, Troyer said.

179 Re: 131 ParanoidGirlinSeattle
I'm sorry to hear about the gangbangers hanging out downtown near Pike Place. I visited a friend out there in 2004, and it was a great trip. Seattle has such an attractive downtown area, especially around Pike Place. It's really sad to hear a great story has had a downtown area go to hell because of political correctness and city officials who fear the "R" word more than the slow erosion of downtown commerce due to visitors and employees not wanting to be in a shooting gallery.

Only a fool would enter the Richmond city limits after dark without a pistol.

183 Maybe if they catch this guy, the WH can offer him a SS position

184 Come to think of it, if the body armor/head shot thing is correct, that should take the gang banger thing off the table. 4 cops instead of 1 not a personal grudge. (i.e. a love sexagon) dont think so. Organized crime would not want the publicity or attention and heat this would bring down on them. If it was organized I don't think it would have been done this publicly.

My bet now. DOMESTIC TERROR

185 Still not sure how a half-Kenyan raised by Marxist crackers qualifies as Black, especially since Rice, Powell, Steele, and Clarence Thomas "don't count."

Seattle/Tacoma has truly turned into the Devil's asshole in the past decade.  Crime, libtard policies, taxes, Californians...

Pretty damn dead on. I recognize every politician they portray and live right in the west side areas of the show. Grew up here. I built or worked on a large percent of the buildings all over the city in the last 20 yrs. The Wire and Homicide: Life on the streets were both very accurate. The Inner harbor area is the only somewhat safe area, most of the city you do not want to be in at night. East side is even worse but there is no reason to go there unless you work or live there.

It's ashame, I still like the city, but unless you grew up here and know how to navigate it, it is a dangerous place. And that's just the football team.

I know many cops and civilians who could engage 4 targets grouped close together like that in 3 seconds, particularly when they are in an unthreatening environment with fellow officers.

This is a political act done by a True Believer.  We'll see what kind of shining path he was following soon (hopefully).

No funny stuff today.  The violence that the left seemed empowered to act with has escalated dramatically.  Starting with the campaign (Black Panthers & union thugs), to radical leftists, jihadists and the escalation of violence of union thugs dissenting from the agenda of the V.

Sad Sunday ladies and gentlemen.  We all need to make sure the hypocrisy of the left and the media gets smacked upside the head with some truth and common sense.  This insanity has gone on long enough.

Pike Street was all whores all the time.

So this is where ACE is gonna hang out the shingle for MoronPaloozaStock.

209 The police meet there (Forza Coffee) every Sunday morning. It's at the NE corner of McChord AFB and right at the corner of the Tacoma PD, Pierce Co. Sheriff, and Lakewood PD jurisdictions. Often all three departments are there around shift-change to discuss what's happening in the area. Their marked units were parked out front.
I heard the first report on the scanner this morning and have been following it ever since. The first 911 cal was from a witness inside the shop who reported 3 officers down. The first deputy on the scene reported 4 down. The early reports were that the one shooter walked into the shop, pulled a gun, and fired 4 shots. He exited the shop, ran to the nearby car-wash and carjacked an extended-cab Chevy pickup. That's where the "accomplice" speculation came from. No one has heard from the truck-owner. They did impound such a truck after taping the doors and hood and are seeking a search-warrant.
There are off-duty cops here from Seattle, Fife, Gig Harbor, Tacoma, and Federal Way volunteering their time.
This is a very bad time to be a 20-30 yr Black male with scruffy facial-hair, blue jeans, black ball-cap, and a puffy black jacket over a gray hoodie!

210 This did not happen in Seattle, this happened in the Tacoma/Parkland area. To put this in terms everyone will understand: if Seattle is a toilet, Tacoma/Parkland and Lakewood are the sewer/cesspools. This coffee shop is located across the street from the chain link fence to McChord AFB and not far from I-5 and SR 512. The area is so shitty the local media called it the Barmurder Triangle. Lots of low-rent apartments, nail salons, and strip malls. The area has undergone some improvement even from a few years ago but obviously not enough.

The problem in this whole western side of Washington State is that gangs, anarchists, and liberal lowlifes are not just tolerated, they are embraced. They always, ALWAYS make the news for destroying property, blocking shipments to the troops in Iraq, burning down million dollar homes (to save the trees) and generally being wastes of flesh. When the cops try to bring them in there is always some lefty lawyer there to protest that their "civil rights being violated". The City of Seattle actually PAID big $$$ to the WTO protesters who were arrested after they destroyed downtown in 1999.

This is beyond horrible. I'm hoping finally the good people in this area will wake the fuck up and see these freaks for what they really are and stop tolerating this shit. The next time one of these lowlifes stands in front of a tank I hope they have to pry him/her off the pavement with a spatula.

211 sorry OT, not at all footbal but at least this is an open thread. A little girl who is dying of cancer in the next day or 2 wants to be #1 searched on google or yahoo today.

244 >>Wasn't there a buch of these type of incidents in Mexico recently? Including machine gunning an entire police headquarters in Acalpulco? All drug related.

The contested area is Juarez, though there are others. Mexican "police headquarters" are not "machine-gunned;" Mexican police are largely complicit. SEDENA (Mexican Army) is complicit as well....

247 One update says that the suspect fled in "a white Chevy pickup truck abandoned at 134th Street and Pacific Avenue South." The truck was found about 2 1/2 hours after the shooting.

Must have been a racist Chevy.

248 O/T  Huckabee couldn't score clear win against Howard Dean on Fox News Sunday. Just another reach around across the isle guy.
PS-Chris Wallace is just one of many liberal pieces of shit on the "conservative" network.

249 Railwriter - Well, after seeing seven of my fellow officers - one being a very close friend - killed in the line of duty in three years, it's hard to think people aren't out to get you.

250 249
Thats why I asked wasn't there? But I stand by the Acapulco HQ being machine gunned. I remember that news story. Dont make me do research. Also the story of several police chiefs seeking amnesty here in the USA cause they were being targeted by the cartels.

Then again these are MSM stories so the source may not be credible.

251

i could care less what this asshole's motivation was, i look foward to reading about his getting gunned down like a dog while resisting/or execution

251  i have to agree with wyatt, you can't trust anyone, there's alot of hate out there just because of the badge

also if you're still around wyatt, after reading your blog for a while i have a question...why do you answer the phone?

252 Navycopjoe - Because if I didn't some toad would file a complaint, and in Philly, IAB believes you're guilty until proven innocent.  It's a joy.

253 Current breaking news is that one of the officers got some shots off, and they are hoping the suspect is injured which will make him easier to track down.

254

257  you poor bastard

i always hated to take over dispatch when i was a watch commander, i couldn't hang up nor shoot myself to make the stupidity go away

i wish you could copy the conversations and post them but the lawsuits would fly

255 I'd double-check the source, Bill. I haven't heard about Acapulco violence, especially since Calderon and Galvan want to keep a lid on shootings in tourist towns--and the cartels recognize that it's bad business anyway. Good story--a wealthy older lady in Culiacan (city in Sinaloa State, west coast of Mexico) starts hassling a younger woman in a beauty salon for being married to a cartel bigshot. The younger woman gets tired of it, tells the hairdresser to shave the older womans' head. "Terrified of cartel retribution, the hairdresser complied." Devil's haircut. WIN.

256 Navycopjoe - And no one would believe them.  A book would have to be published as "fiction."

ParanoidGirlInSeattle - If true, that would really help matters.  Scumbag has to be treated somewhere.

257

pgis, how hard would it be for this dead man walking to get to canada?

i believe canada won't send a suspect back if he faces the death penalty

Not sure about Canada, but Mexico won't. At least a Mexican citizen anyway, unless a deal is cut that the perp will only get life in prison.

That doesn't seem to be the case any longer.  Canada extradited Charles Ng to California, and I believe he's now on Death Row.

260

navycopjoe, probably impossible at any of the border crossings I would assume. Lot of unguarded border though.

I think it more likely this guy trys to hide in plain sight like the guy who killed the Seattle police officer on Halloween.

261

my navycop school was out of norfolk and was taught by retired deputy sherriffs from portsmith county, some of the stories they told us was just insane, then i got to see how true they are

philly must make you drink pepto by the case

262 Heh
Some reporter asked something like,"do you hope the suspect was hit?"

I loved that Troyer was blunt enough to say "yeah I hope he was hit, It would help identify him"

263 The Seattle police officer was shot around Haloween.  The following week there was a big funeral procession with police and firemen from all over.  It was covered on all of the local media.  At that time I thought that the extensive coverage might encourage some head case to go for his moment of fame.

264 I pulled one of these off once.

265 Hey Wyatt friend of mine's a detective in Philly. They call him Rebel. You know him?

266 May if I knew the real name.  Don't give it here, but I'm a detective in North Philly

267 Yeah didnt want to give his real name. He's in south philly you would know the nickname if u knew him

268 Runningrn - A history whose time should end soon, IMO

269   Blacks have committed crimes like this before--the shooting of four cops in Oakland this summer and the Zebra killings--but they get little analysis or attention.  Blacks commit 10x the crimes of whites, are encouraged to hate and be alienated, and even their most accomplished, people like Michelle Obama, have a huge chip on their shoulder.  They sing songs like "Fuck the Police" and when they kill white people, as in the LA Riots or New Orleans, liberals make excuses.

Don't expect this to remain on the wire very long.  It's a totally typical angry black crime.

270 Runningrn - I don't think it was commuted yet, but don't be surprised if it does.

And Smerconish lost me a long time ago.  Sold out his conservative listeners to land a D.C. simulcast.  Man is despicable.

271 The suspect has been shot by cops.

272

That doesn't seem to be the case any longer.  Canada extradited Charles Ng to California, and I believe he's now on Death Row.

Yeah, I was going to point this one out. It took Canada years and years to extradite him, though.

273 277 even their most accomplished, people like Michelle Obama, have a huge chip on their shoulder


That's not a chip. It's a bandalero and a wookie blaster.

274 281 Sick in mass  where are you getting that info?

275

281  shot earlier or just now?

i hope he survives and is paralized

276
251 That may be bragging, Wyatt, to whatever purpose I can only guess. If it's not, and you really think that, you're kind of an asshole.
Posted by: railwriter at November 29, 2009 06:32 PM

The guy's an asshole because wants to go home to his family?

I'm pretty sure YOU'RE the asshole in this scenario.

277 Nevermind .. I was thinking (hoping) that was a current interaction - not one that happened at the time of the incident this am

278 #281

Now or at the original scene?

279
Not sure. That is what was just reported on the radio here.
I am searching...

280 No, the guy's an asshole if he suspects that less than one in 10,000 Philadelphians is a criminal. When cops think they're cops first and sentient members of a community second, they're potential assholes. Please pay attention. I can't type in crayon.

281 ...bad math. If he *trusts* less than one in ten thousand to be a reasonable plebe.

282 The suspect has been shot by cops.

Posted by: sickinmass at November 29, 2009 07:01 PM (g7J39)

The Sheriff's Dept. spokesman says the suspect MAY have been shot by one of the four officers killed in the ambush -- that one of the officers was able to return fire and was subsequently killed.  But I haven't seen any report that definitively says the killer was shot.

283
Like I said: I'm pretty sure YOU'RE the asshole in this scenario.

284 The way things are going in today's society, I hope every cop off the clock takes a service revolver wherever they go.

285 The perp may have been hit during the event. One of the officers was found in the parking lot with his gun drawn and some brass. PCSD spokesman Ed Troyer was on the tube saying that he hoped the perp was hit, as it would help identify him when he showed up to get treated for a gunshot wound.

ChrisP

286 Big difference between trusting someone and suspecting they are a criminal.  In my job, we have to mistrust most people - at least at first.  Keeps you alive.

And again, after seeing 7 co-workers murdered in three years, I'll stand by that statement.  If that makes me an asshole to you, so be it.

287 I can't believe there has not been an update since this morning on this story.

288 Okay, bronze, you're probably right.

289 hutch1200, thank you and I accept.

290 According to Fox, the owner of the coffee shop is a retired police officer. Understandably, he's taking the murders particularly hard.

291

why limit ones self to 6 shots?

Cuz it's difficult to strap an assault rifle to your ankle.

292 Dack - People should take a page from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.  Carry enough weapons to amaze and astound the guy at the gun locker.

293 And the kids in high school teased him.

Dack - People should take a page from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.  Carry enough weapons to amaze and astound the guy at the gun locker

I figure you ought to carry a bazooka with you when you're off duty, but I'm not sure they make a holster for one of those.

295 Rail I saw that happen to every one of my friends ('cept one who quit less than 2 yrs after he joined the force). You can't blame em though. The crap they see and have to put up with does that to em. We stayed good friends for about 5 yrs, by 10 they were different people. There were cops and there were non-cops, thats it. One got real screwed up after being called to a scene where a mother had microwaved her infant. He was never the same after that.

They don't get called to give out good citizen awards all day long. They deal mostly with scumbags and lowlifes and every now and then get to help someone and actually see they made some kind of a difference.

God Bless em. If thats what it takes to keep doing their job, then thats what it takes. Better safe than sorry especially when sorry = dead.

296 How do you "suspect someone is a criminal?" Because you "don't trust" more than %.01 of the people you meet? If you have to "mistrust most people," you're a poor situational judge and a middling cop. Try more training; you're wasting your time and the taxpayers' money being paranoid.

297

runningrn at November 29, 2009 07:21 PM (vEclT)

You're also forgetting the best part.

Despite all of these factors, the perp was "getting his life together" right before he committed the crime.

298 Bill - Don't misunderstand, I am not one of those gung-ho, live-for-the-job-types.  I have a family, friends, and co-workers I care about, and I rarely if ever talk about work when off duty.  And very few of my close, long-term friends are police officers.

That being said, if we get careless or lazy at work, we get dead - especially in a city like Philadelphia.  I can't put it any simpler than that. 

299 Railwriter - You aligned mistrusting most people with suspecting someone is a criminal.  I said there was a big difference between the two.  You can not trust someone without thinking they have a long criminal history.

As for your pronouncement on my 15-year career - after reading about five posts on this blog - thanks for the advice.  I'll take it under advisement.

300 Didnt mean it that way Wyatt. Was taking up for you. My friends arent gung ho just jaded in certain ways. I notice the difference when we hang out, but I understand why. They see alot of horrible shit.

I agree with you. I used to do some private security work for rich assholes. Not much danger but still had to constantly watch everyone as a potential threat. (mostly guys wanting to show off how wealthy they were without having someone kick their ass and take their wallets no real threats) That being said the only scumbags I had to deal with were usually the uys employing me.

Nothing but respect for you bro' or did you have me confused with railwriter?

301 I emailed my friend who is on with Seattle PD. He was on shift the night another officer was assassinated by someone with a grudge against the police. My friend told me that this incident is only going to make his job more difficult. I'm so pissed right now. If you go to KOMOnews.com, look at their comments section. There are some truly sick people. There was some troll literally cheering the murders. Hopefully one of the officers was able to hit the suspect.

302 Bill - Wasn't slamming you, sir.  Just clarifying what kind of person/police officer I am for those who want to jump to conclusions.  And we have something in common: The people who employ me - at least our mayor and commissioner - are also scumbags.  Just my $0.02.

303 No, I'm not a "cop in a big, corrupt, crime infested city." I'm an American living in a country that presumes innocence until guilt is proven. I'm an American proud of a judicial system that empowers law enforcement to bring suspects to justice, not to apply justice based on suspicion. My country hasn't yet surrendered to guilt by suspicion. I live in Virginia, I carry concealed, and I'll defend my right to speak my mind and not "shut my piehole." Please be smarter. America has a dearth of idiocy. Stop contributing.

304 4k78 - I get about five comments like that a day.  Especially after a police officer is murdered.  They usually are sent to the spam folder, but they are infuriating.

305 My parents use to volunteer at the Helping Hand Mission in Center City.  Wesley Cook (aka Mumia) was in my dad's Sunday school class/youth group.  My dad was always impressed with how bright and articulate he was.  Unfortunately, he became a Black Panther, and the rest is history.

Holy crap, runningrn! Talk about brushes with history!

306 I live in Virginia, I carry concealed

Others of us live in cities where we're not allowed to carry concealed and gang violence is an every day thing. It's nice you can presume everyone to be innocent until proven guilty, but the rest of us live in reality and know that if someone looks like a gangbanger, odds are they're a gangbanger.

And if everyone's innocent until proven guilty, why do you carry concealed?

307 Railwriter - The cool thing about that is that I will defend my life for your right to speak your mind.  Although I am still waiting for the accusation of applying justice based on suspicion.  15 years and not one single solitary IAB complaint.  I guess I'm doing it wrong.

308 "90 They all were from the Lakewood PD." Ack. I lived in Lakewood from 67-70 when my dad was flying C-141's out of McChord. My thoughts and prayers are with the families, and not on the POS who did this. I'll avoid speculation and wait for the facts on this perp to come out.

Pot, meet kettle.

Thanks for confirming my earlier assessment!

310

He went to a car wash and 'jacked a truck?

Not having a getaway car stashed somewhere and relying on the hit or miss proposition of a successful carjacking seems to take the pro out of the professional aspect of this.  A real pro killer acting alone would have a stolen car parked in a nice legal near by space. 

The team that murdered Paul Castellano and John Bilotti planned the hit for about three months.  Were it not for Sam Gravano, the murders might have never been solved. 

311 Note to self:  railwriter  = asshole

312

why limit ones self to 6 shots?

Cuz it's difficult to strap an assault rifle to your ankle.

I have a "compact" .45 that can hold 14 rounds.

Sadly, I fear that if the SHTF, I'd need every one of them.

313 KING5 is now saying one of the officers struggled out the door and got some shots off at the perp before expiring. They are hoping he's wounded. I'm hoping he's bled out.

314 Please be smarter. America has a dearth of idiocy. Stop contributing.

Talk about a need to follow his own advice...

315 I have not read 325+ comments yet, but I have to get this off my chest:

WHY have not the Florida Highway Patrol, along with local authorities, performed a dynamic entry at Tiger Woods residence, shot any dogs found, and hauled his sorry ass out of the house and down to central booking for interrogation? 

After begging like lapdogs THREE times for a statement to complete their police paperwork, what other options are left?

Everyone out there who believes that your wife (or significant other) would be able to tell the cops that you were napping and could not be disturbed following your 2 AM trashing of a fire hydrant and a neighbors tree, please share with the rest of us your secret. 

Other than being filthy rich, of course.

316 Please be smarter. America has a dearth of idiocy. Stop contributing.

Condescension can be indicative of a tragically false sense of self-importance.

317 TXMarko - Absolutely no reason why they are kowtowing to Woods'.  Well, other than the aforementioned filthy richness.

318 Wyatt Earp--Are you an officer? If so, thanks for your service. I work in the child abuse/neglect field as an investigator and work with the police all the time. I support them 100%. The people who knock the police are the same ones causing problems in the first place.

319

TXMarko

Because a "fender bender" is not considered a crime.  He gave the cops his license, registration, and insurance info.

People don't get hauled off to jail for a minor accident.

Tiger Woods doesn't have the right NOT to talk to the police?

Did Florida repel the fifth-amendment?

322 @334

Perhaps because the damage done was to property and not to persons? 

If he'd hit a neighbor with his car, then he should be hauled in.  But a tree and a fire hydrant?  His BAC would be on file at the hospital, so if he was intoxicated then he'll be charged with that, I'd presume.

LEOs do not need to go in to a house, guns 'ablazin', for property damage.

323 The cops do have a suspect, with a LONG rap-sheet, including child-rape and assault on a police officer. They have 'interviewed' his girlfriend, and are trying to find him. They thought they had him 30 minutes ago, but it was just a man who looked remarkably like him. No harm came to him. This is from the scanner, not the "NEWS".
Looking at his court records, I would be quite surprised if it is NOT this guy.
Also, looking at his rap-sheet, I find myself wondering WTF is this guy doing on the street?

Justice in the blue state of WA, I suppose.

Cheers!

Smacking someone in the melon with a golf club is.

325 4k78 - Yep, I'm a detective in Philly.  And thank you.

326 #329

Didn't mean professional assassin. Meant professional as in is definetly familiar with firearms, acted (from the reports) calm & collected. Has probably been in a firefight before. I know he hit all 4 officers, question is how many total rounds did he fire? Would narrow it down a bit more.

I'm getting more confused the more I find out. Right now don't know who or why just know I want him dead.

327 Blazer - They can haul in Mrs. Woods for, um, close examination.  Heh.

328 Unless Woods has been implicated in a crime, I don't think they  can "haul his ass off".  Especially if he has an attorney to answer questions.  Perhaps murdering a fire hydrant, assaulting a tree and robbing an Escalade of its fender are  felonies in Florida.

329 This thread has degraded beyond repair.

330
Remember when PHIL HARTMAN'S coked-out wife shot and killed him?

331 TXMarko, as of today we still have a Fifth Amendment; Mr Woods doesn't even owe the police the time of day.  I would out of courtesy give the police my lawyer's name phone number. 

332 Blazer,,,only if the smackee presses the issue or the cop witnesses it.

333 Tiger Woods doesn't have the right NOT to talk to the police?

Maybe, like Adam Baldwin, he's a secret AoS Moron and watched the "Don't talk to police" video from a few nights back.

334
Legal Insurrection has a pretty good take on the Tiger Woods incident.

335 Area man, Navin Johnson, was quoted as saying, "Somebody hates these donuts!"

336 >>Railwriter - You aligned mistrusting most people with suspecting someone is a criminal. I said there was a big difference between the two.

We're talking about criminality, and I'm claiming that "mistrusting most people" is akin with "suspecting someone is a criminal." I'm not sure I see that there's much gulf. As for the last sentence of your note, I can't take that seriously. Do you really believe that?

I sat both my kids down and had them watch it with me, followed by a short discussion period.

338
TXMarko.. if the accident happened on a public street where damage occurred (fire hydrant), he would have to talk, but the fact that it was on private property frees him. Its strictly an insurance matter at this point.

339 "dearth |dərθ| noun [in sing. ] a scarcity or lack of something : there is a dearth of evidence. See note at lack .

What model is that ? I'm limited to my 1911 (8 rounds) or my little pocket AMT (5 rounds) 14 rounds of .45 acp in a compact? I want one.

342 Actually, the presumption of innocence until proven guilty is applicable only in a court of law, if I am not mistaken.

Police are not bound by this presumption - they must follow the evidence as it leads them, even if the evidence points to the guilt of an innocent person. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, lawyer-folk and police-folk....

343 Woods should have lawyered up at the start instead of jerking the cops around.

344
railwriter, why don't you fill out and app and go to the academy?  Probably because your too much of a coward to actually do a man's job.  It's much easier to talk smack to someone on the internet than it is to actually do something though, isn't it?

Nice fantasy world, folks!  Sure sounds nice there.  Try telling your arresting officer you dont have to give him the "Time of Day" the next time you get pulled over.

Down here in Texas, they have recently started taking blood samples from you for nothing more than having a freaking license plate light out.

Y'all be sure to mention that 5th amendment thing as your otherwise innocent ass is shoved into the back end of a late model Impala while they "sort things out".

347 Chris P  thanks for your updates / info. 

Sounds like, if that is the right guy, it may be another case of people out of prison who shouldn't be.  This area certainly had a rash of police killed a few years ago by that demographic.

The agency wants to arm 4,800 guards at all land and marine border points by 2016.

I wonder why it's going to take so long?

Because they can't be made fast enough since barry got elected? Thus creating a huge run on weapons and ammo.

Possibly, or maybe he started off trying to be nice, and then realized or was advised, that the police may be trying to make this into something it isn't, and decided that it wasn't in his best interest in talking to them. Odds are that both he and his wife may have acted illegally and don't wish to hand the cops a shovel to bury their own selves.

351

Morons! (and ettes) Greetings--

This is tragic.

So Tiger Woods in a car wreck is "we interrupt this broadcast for a special announcement worthy" but this was not?? (presuming not--I was at the game--didn't have access to a tv). 

I assume you guys have all the facts--at least what's known at this point-going back to start at the top of the thread.

352

The cops do have a suspect, with a LONG rap-sheet, including child-rape

Perhaps he has fled to Switzerland or Hollywood. They approve of child rapists there as long as it wasn't rape-rape

353 Yes presumption of innocence only applies in court, and I can form any opinion I want about anyone, as long as I'm not sitting on his/her jury.


BTW I have well formed opinions about all of you morons already based on no evidenve whatsoever. If that makes me a bad person. SO BE IT.

just kidding. 'cept about the first part.

Thank You!  You are correct! 

Would he still face possible charges on operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, despite it being on Private Property?  There are a lot of people who have been pulled over for suspected DUI, even before they leave the parking lot.....

356 What's fucking tragic is that this is leading all the radio and internet news blurbs, and the AGW story is still ice cold.  The press ought to be hounding the Algore, not the Cablinasian

357 >>...probably easier to talk smack<< Of course it is. That hasn't a thing to do with what I do for a living, or whether I'm 'man enough' to do that job, but you're right--it's much easier to 'talk smack' on the internet...

358 Railwriter wrote: As for the last sentence of your note, I can't take that seriously. Do you really believe that?

Poor wording.  Should have been "You can mistrust someone without thinking they have a long criminal history.  I mistrust Barack Obama.  I don't believe he has a long criminal history.

359

 "Down here in Texas, they have recently started taking blood samples from you for nothing more than having a freaking license plate light out."

Why do so many people want to live in Texas?  I used to live in New Mexico.  The reason is gets so windy there is because Arizona blows and Texas sucks.

Hmmm, community organizer, acorn lawyer, college proffessor, state senator, US senator.

Sounds pretty fuckin criminal to me.

363 Bill - Criminal history.  He just hadn't been charged . . . yet. 

364 railwriter couldn't pass the background check.

And as for the police wanting to talk to Tiger, they don't care about the "accident", they want to investigate the domestic violence (which they are obligated to do).  Tiger doesn't want to inciminate his wife.

365 Wyatt, sounds like "mistrusting people" is a prerequisite for law enforcement. Do you generally "mistrust people?" Is that necessary for good policing?

366
Tiger's waiting for the swelling to go down so hopefully the cops won't be able to read the Big Bertha logo stamped on his face...it seems a little suspicious to me, that if Elin heard a crash, and she was running out of the house to help, why she would bring a golf club with her? Why wouldn't she simply run out of the house to help, or call 911?

Time for this little Swede to lawyer up, not with Allred, but with the divorce shysters.. for I am smelling humongous alimony/child support and plus she doesn't look that bad and I would imagine a few guys would hit on her. Hurry sweetpea before the looks go. You can catch another tiger by the tail on the way down to your 40s.

367 You're right Wyatt. I'm profiling again aren't I?

How do you "suspect someone is a criminal?" Because you "don't trust" more than %.01 of the people you meet?

If you have to "mistrust most people," you're a poor situational judge and a middling cop. Try more training; you're wasting your time and the taxpayers' money being paranoid.

Jumping in here, out of my place, I do not trust anyone until they have earned it.
Just like that nameless-faceless off my front bumper changing lanes without signaling, could be fatal and happens several times everyday.

Most of those that I trust, I trust them to be self-serving dirt-bags, very reliable at that, and they earned that trust.

373 Freida, women don't go away for domestic violence very often.  Another one of the legal double-standards that protects people other than white Christian heterosexual males who pay taxes, obey the law, speak English and have a job.

377 Chris P you have good info!  News conf now giving out his info as person of interest.   

378 Orbusmax.com (the northwest version of Drudge) has cleared its page of all news except for information on the shooting. Good for them that Tiger isn't a headline and Ace is on the blogroll.

"Tiger doesn't want to inciminate his wife." 

No one has to speak to The Cops.  It could be a domestic issue, another reason to keep quiet.   I believe that in most states, in cases of spousal abuse, the victim does not have to file a complaint.  If the police want to investigate it as domestic violence, they can, and TW and his wife cannot  be compelled to say anything.

387 I got your back, runningrn! You're my moronette sistah!

I respect and admire the people who have what it takes to be cops. There are good and bad in all professions, but I like to think the good cops like Wyatt outweigh the bad. And especially because I live in LA and see the beatings LAPD takes not only from the citizens of this city, but its brass, I'm more sympathetic to LAPD.

It's probably biased of me to side with cops as a knee jerk reaction until the facts come out, but I was raised to believe that cops are generally good people. I'll still keep me mouth shut if ever questioned, but for the most part I trust cops to do their jobs.

388 komo4 on twitter only noted him as a robbery suspect from Arkasas. No follow up so I guess they're stopping there.

397
Maurice Clemmons, the 37-year-old Tacoma man being sought for questioning in the killing of four Lakewood police officers this morning, has a long criminal record punctuated by violence, erratic behavior and concerns about his mental health.
Nine years ago, then-Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons, commuting his lengthy prison sentence over the protestations of prosecutors.
"This is the day I've been dreading for a long time," Larry Jegley, prosecuting attorney for Arkansas' Pulaski County said Sunday night when informed that Clemmons was being sought in connection to the killings.
Clemmons' criminal history includes at least five felony convictions in Arkansas and at least eight felony charges in Washington. The record also stands out for the number of times he has been released from custody despite questions about the danger he posed.

If that's accurate the Hucksters DONE.

406 How can anyone be that violent and crazy for so long and STILL get clemency?

He's a convicted pedophile too (though not sure if he was convicted in Arkansas or elsewhere).
People like him should NOT even be considered for clemency. Fuck!

That's the second guy who was granted clemency and killed (or killed again).
Way to go Mike!

Yep, stick a fork in him.

If it turns out Clemmons was the shooter today, Huckabee might as well put on a helmet, ride a tank and enjoy the Dukakising of his political career. Palin would beat him up big time with clememcy for a man like Clemmons.

well, this is my first. havent got a cc permit yet (got to get downtown to the sheriff's office. it was on sale for $377, and S&W had a $50 mail in rebate on thier website, so I couldnt pass it up.

Hey Huck, call me.

417 Huckabee is finished in 2012 if it turns out to be the guy.  Holy shit.

Good.

418 Seems like the suspect has a long, sad history of crime.  I hope he's just a common, evil criminal.  I do NOT want a string of Muslims committing crimes like this... anything like that could eventually lead to bad, bad things in this country.

419 No surprise that Fuckabee would approve early release. I'm hearing this guy has a history of child rape and shooting at police officers. What's not to love? The moron from Arkansas is an example of everything I dislike from the evangelical wing of the Republican Party: consistently conservative on issues like abortion and gay marriage, but often committed to Sowellian cosmic justice on other fronts: immigration, crime, etc.

420 Posted by: Barbarian 446 Huckabee is finished in 2012 if it turns out to be the guy. ..Good.


Ditto.

Nice going Fuckabee.

You'd expect this out of a alls-I'm-saying-is-give-peace-a-chance progressive but a conservative like Fuckabee??

422

When Clemmons received the 60-year sentence, he was already serving 48 years on five felony convictions and facing up to 95 more years on charges of robbery, theft of property and possessing a handgun on school property. Records from Clemmons' sentencing described him as 5-foot-7 and 108 pounds. The crimes were committed when he was 17.

I may not be the best at math, but shit how many long prison sentences does one need to recieve before they lose the key already?

Oh and huck, don't quit the weekend job.

423 Yeah,
I was not gonna post the name here, as it would be prejudicial, But Maurice is the guy they are seeking. He is a BAD man with a long rap-sheet. Still listening to the scanner as multiple teams are checking any places that he is known to frequent. They are looking hard for him. It may go badly for him, as there is, perhaps, a bit of hostility from the investigating officers. Duh!

So it goes in East Pierce County, WA...
Still listening to the scanner.

I cc carry everywhere but work, because the company doesnt allow it. Through the years I've only ever had to draw a weapon once and that was at a gas station after midnight in a bad part of town.

The problem was quickly resolved and no blood was shed. However I'm sure a set boxer shorts were soiled.

425
I hope who ever is responsible for this horrendous crime is caught soon, like before this night is over.

426 It's good to have good citizens cc'ing.  Often it's the first defense of society when bad guys go postal.

427 Never tried the .40 cal round. I've always been partial to .45 acp, .44 special, & .357 mag. Been a long time since I checked ballistics reports on ammo but last time I checked the .357 was a 97% one shot stopper (especially my federal 125gr hydra shocks) and the .45 acp most rounds were in the 88-90% one shot stoppers.
So I alternate depending on clothing worn during what time of year & ease of concealability

How is the .40's performance? (It was a new round & they didn't have the data built up on it last time I was adding to the old arsenal)

428
Interesting.
Sickening too.

429

Oh, my the NY Times can recall that the suspect was scruffy, but, surprise, they can remember that he is black.

Wonder why?

"Initially, there were conflicting reports whether one or two men were involved. The lead suspect was said to be about 5 foot 8 inches tall, in his 20s or 30s with scruffy facial hair and wearing a black coat and blue jeans. “Someone came in and opened fire,” Mr. Troyer said"

Here is the AP story, they seem to remember a fact here.

"Troyer said the suspect is a black male, 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-10, 20s to 30s, scruffy appearance, wearing a black coat, blue jeans"

What fact did the Times leave out???

Wonder why????

430 Wyatt, sounds like "mistrusting people" is a prerequisite for law enforcement. Do you generally "mistrust people?" Is that necessary for good policing?

Posted by: railwriter at November 29, 2009 08:34 PM (daRzV)

What do you think, genius?  Should a police officer trust that the driver in every routine traffic stop is an ordinary, law-abiding citizen?

http://bit.ly/63slhG

A man wanted for violating his parole killed three police officers and gravely wounded another in two shootings Saturday, the first after a routine traffic stop and the second after a massive manhunt ended in gunfire, authorities said. The gunman was also killed.

The violence began just after 1 p.m. when two officers stopped a Buick sedan in east Oakland, said Oakland police spokesman Jeff Thomason. The driver opened fire, killing one officer and gravely wounding the second.

431 "I'm hearing this guy has a history of child rape and shooting at police officers." I should qualify that by saying those are things I'm hearing from people in the area. I'm in the Puget Sound, but haven't been able to watch the local coverage in the past few hours.

432 Gabe has a new thread up about this complete with Flaming Skull.

The .40 is fairly comparable to the .45. Some say it is more devastating, presenting a more brutal ballistics pattern and delivering more hydrostatic shock. I use 185 grain jhp in mine.

Ammo is a bitch to get right now though

435 This is starting to sound like a movie script that was rejected because it sounded preposterous.

436 "Troyer said the suspect is a black male, 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-10, 20s to 30s, scruffy appearance, wearing a black coat, blue jeans" Count your blessings. It's a miracle the AP would even report the suspect's race. They usually fail to report that detail themselves.

437 For cc I prefer a .38 +P wheel gun. Easy and light to carry. Pull the trigger and it always go bang.I have a few small and large autos but, .38 gets my vote.

438 Graveyards are filled with dead folks who trusted too much. Cops can't read minds. Trust, but verify. In other words, don't trust.

439

Chris,

Thanks for the updates!  I'm crossposting them over at Arfcom, hope that's cool.

440 I can't read all of these comments.
I'm astounded that a corvette speeding south was dispatched with "information only".
One scruffy white guy one black guy.
I'm also concerned that scruffy white guy might be a captive from the car wash.
Could be a co-conspirator but time will tell.

Have a heads-up to someone in Lewis County.
They know the deputies there.  Expecting a call back just to chat.

441 Re: 74
One made it outside that person was in the parking lot.
There was brass and his/her arm had been drawn.

442 This is starting to sound like a movie script that was rejected because it sounded preposterous.

What's that old saying, truth is stranger than fiction because fiction has to stick to the possibilities; truth doesn't.

443 Nine young kids between the slain officers. Tragic.

444 Out puppet!

445 Also listening to the scanner here in King and Sno and the cops have a dragnet out along the 5 and all major side roads.

446

I figured that the gunman was all strung out on Keefee Olberdork left wing rants, trying to rid the world of fascists.

 Seriously,this is tragic. It looks like they never had a chance. Pray for the victims and their families.

 This reminds me of the 4 RCMP constables who died near Mayerthorpe, Alberta- trying to apprehend a lunatic with a high powered rifle. They at least had some sort of forewarning.

 What a sad state of affairs and what a tough way to make a living?
