We had an ambush here (Mobile) about a year ago. The police did not fire any shots as they escaped but the perps accidently shot and killed a 7 year old boy with their errant shots. I think four eventually went to prison .

opened fire with an assault rifle........ The gunman sprayed the officer's patrol car with bullets, firing about 20 shots.

Hmmm...sounds like more liberal puke. What's the truth here - was it a true "assault weapon" which would indicate full-auto fire, or was it a hunting rifle that was reloaded several times? Maybe an SKS or AK-variant? Or could it have been a simple .22 long rifle with a "hot lips" magazine?

The media is so eager to jump on the "assault weapon" theme that they often distort or make up facts.

20 bullets doesn't exactly sound like spraying, unless it was all with one trigger pull and less than 2 seconds.....

How sad... Can't wait for Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, or one of these other morons to show up and protest AGAINST police violence when the violence is being perpetrated against the police.
