"4 officers shot dead in Wash. coffee shop 'ambush'"

CNN.com

SNIPPET: "LAKEWOOD, Wash. — SNIPPET: "A $10,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest, he said.

Police are looking for one man and possibly a second person in the attack, which occurred about 8 a.m., Troyer said. The suspect is described as an African-American man, between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall, wearing a black coat and blue jeans, with a "scruffy" appearance, he said. The man is believed to have fled the coffee shop on foot, he said."

Of course, my prayers and condolences to the family and friends of these four brave and needed officers.

My first thought was how in the world did this happen? These people were highly trained professionals and knew how to react in different situations. Even now, after 42 years, when I do go to a restaurant, I am adamant about where I sit. Driving thru a city I constantly am looking around, checking my mirrors, never stopping close to the vehicle in front of me, always a way of escape.
I by no means am criticizing these brave Americans. But I do wonder.

Again, my prayers and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of these 4 American heroes.

ROP M.O.?

Could very well be. I wouldn't rule it out. I think the Islamofacists have a thing against law enforcement and could be out to avenge the killing of Luqman by the FBI in Detroit.

[Cindy]

I understand.

I’ve been live blogging it, Miss Cindy, in case you’re just now catching up with the action.

Very interesting theory...

Thank you, Cindy. I’ve been up the Hills with Mr. RR (would you believe panning for gold?) all day and this is the first I’ve heard of this tragic event. My Dad was stationed at McChord in the ‘50s. We used to live in Parkland. It was a beautiful and quiet area then. That was back in the era of poodle skirts, bobby sox and very early Elvis.

I appreciate your thread and your info is always solid.

“WA: 4 police officers shot dead in ambush.”

SNIPPET: “Miscellaneous follow up: The suspect taken into custody in Parkland and referenced down thread is related to the earlier 911 prank call - what a dope. I hope they throw the book at him:

Police took a man into custody at a Parkland house nearby after he apparently called 911, claiming to be the shooter. But the man was not linked to the crime, Troyer said.”

[Cindy]

Thanks RR.

I was just discussing it with my husband and he brought it up as we were rehashing recent jihad-related events.

[La Enchiladita]

First of all, God bless and keep the souls of the 4 police officers murdered this morning, and comfort their families, friends and co-workers at this terrible time.

Cindy, I heard this morning on radio when the story broke or soon after, that the suspects were one white male and one black male. But your info seems to allege one suspect only.

[Cindy]

At this time...it does seem 1 suspect involved, but it’s still breaking news.

0bummer’s Black Panther vermin in action?
Look for Eric Holder(the protector of Black Panther criminals) to ride in to the rescue of this vicious killer.

Prayers up for the victims and those who loved them.

What a senseless tragedy!

If it is ROP, they will come up with a reason that made his so stressed, he just had to kill some police.
