Kind of like shooting fish in a barrel, isn't it?

 
sirgrim [TotalFark] 2009-11-29 01:30:38 PM  
Impossible. You can't kill someone or their family when they have a gun.

 
sylos 2009-11-29 01:31:00 PM  
You know, this is an opportunity for an epic troll, but since I'm not a troll...sorry cops :( I hope there family is taken care of, condolences, etc.

Well, colour me flabbergasted, the state that gave us Starbucks takes its morning java very, very seriously! Whoulda thunk it?

poor cops, not a very merry xmas for the families.

Wonder if it's connected to the ambush last month of a patrol car in Seattle. Weird.

Will they cordon it off with that 'CRIME SCENE - DONUT CROSS' tape?

This is the 2nd 'cop assassination' in Western Washington over the past couple weeks.

I blame rap music.

a start or I all ways said that donuts would be the death of u

 
Martian_Astronomer 2009-11-29 01:33:48 PM  
Obviously, this means that cops should be prohibited from patronizing coffee and/or donut shops while on duty. You know, as a safety precaution.

 
epoc_tnac 2009-11-29 01:33:52 PM  
Theoretical question... if someone is in cardiac arrest, can you use a tazer to start their heart again?

Anyway, good job on not killing any innocent bystanders. I'm going to venture a guess that these cops were into some shiat they shouldn't have been into.

 
MONSTERTRUCK [TotalFark] 2009-11-29 01:34:13 PM  
Well, no crap, subby.

Taking bets from the left on which gun laws would have prevented this!

Taking bets from the right on which dangerous minority was responsible!

They caught that guy.

Sad day for law enforcement.

That's why we need conceal carry. If they had been armed, they would have been able to protect themselves.

The donut headline was redlit.

You got any news links on that? I wouldn't be surprised if there was some nutcase going around doing something like that.

...and I'm pretty certain that nutcase would be a Farker.

I was thinking the same thing.I hope this isn't some kind of war against WA cops. RIP officers

Guess there wasnt enough Doughnuts.

Hmm another article I saw said it was the near a military base but the base wasnt on lock down. Why would it be on lock down when its a civilian crime?

 
mialynneb 2009-11-29 01:36:14 PM  
That's crazy:(

 
Weaver95 [TotalFark] 2009-11-29 01:36:19 PM  
why would someone do this? there has to be more to the story. you don't just wake up one day and say 'gee, I think i'll go on a shooting spree'.

 
boobsrgood [TotalFark] 2009-11-29 01:36:21 PM  
I'm sure the cops were innocent of any wrongdoing.

 
walnuts55 [TotalFark] 2009-11-29 01:36:23 PM

That made me LOL

 
El Morro 2009-11-29 01:36:30 PM  
FTA: "He says investigators believe the officers were targeted, and it was not a robbery.

Troyer tells the newspaper "it was just a flat out ambush.' "

Holy crap! Ok, lets start taking bets. Who thinks:

A) One or more of these cops was involved in some dirty business (stealing/re-selling confiscated weapons/drugs) and pissed off the wrong gangster;
B) This was a lunatic who flipped after getting his umpteenth ticket for whatever reason;
C) This was some wannabe Al Qaeda looking to make a name for himself and/or freak out Americans as a whole; or
C) This was a teabagger already on the fringe who somehow sees cops as a threat to his "freedom" and wanted to teach us all a lesson

???

My money is on "A."

Do you really need someone to answer this?

Blame the victim much?

Or someone who's played WAAAAAY too much shadowrun.

Maybe the coffee shop ran out of bacon.

My condolences to the families. This is an atrocity.

 
MONSTERTRUCK [TotalFark] 2009-11-29 01:37:25 PM  
Somebody shot and killed a Seattle cop last month as he sat in his patrol car doing paperwork, so the entire NW is on edge about this stuff. This is sad news from my old hometown. RIP, officers.

2 people don't just wake up and say jee, I'll go and shoot some cops.

Corruption biting them in the ass, no doubt. Anyone have a more likely explanation?

No spiffy tag? The world's largest street gang gets to bully the billions of sheep for hundreds/thousands of years, but when four of them get shot, it's a tragedy?

/sheeple

 
CrispFlows [TotalFark] 2009-11-29 01:38:32 PM  
Oh jooooy.

Every cop is paranoid enough for their lives, Now - because of this shiat, I have to be sure not to breath too deep at a traffic stop otherwise, I could be shot for having a 'threatening posture'.

either we got some crooked cops who got what was coming to them or we got a gang who is trying to take out the cop problem by knocking each and every one off.

Steed Lankershim: Maybe the coffee shop ran out of bacon.

I think we've located the culprit.

 
cuzsis 2009-11-29 01:39:07 PM  
Why is the AP trying to connect this to the Halloween shooting when the guy who did that is still hospitalized? I mean, I know it could be a buddy of his or something, but they make it sound it was just him.
