These horrible, sub-humanm acts are always committed by those who blame others for their F-ups in life. This worthless scum has spent the majority of his life in prison for violent crimes he did. But in his twisted mind, he blamed cops for it. It must be someone else's fault.
These were good cops too. None of them were the hard core militant type officers we read about. They were good people with families, just doing their jobs. This is such a sad event.
The guy was sentenced to prison as a teenager, and sentenced to life for a crime other than murder/rape.
It should be pondered does prison protect against monsters or make men into them.
If any Officers attack and injure a citizen unjustly, you let the courts figure that out. You don't want Officers dishing out vigilante justice, neither should the citizens. You can't sit here and justify the person's actions. You can't say shooting a police officer is justified who is "beating" someone who has not committed a violent crime. You have NO idea of prior contacts, what happened before the contact, what led up to it, etc. That would be like someone coming into the middle of you and your wife having a fight, where she stabbed you, and now you go to defend yourself and someone shoots YOU.

Instead of letting anyone permanently injure or even kill someone for no reason, a citizen should have the right to fight back, no matter who it is. Court is useless if you're dead. If the police break into my home by mistake my first reaction would be to shoot anyone I did not see as actual law enforcement. How do I know they are not home invaders in disguise? If police are beating up my family I should have the right to use force to stop any unjust brutality. All citizens should be equal under the law.
That said I am still hoping that the criminal(s) who executed police officers during their time off meets justice. The only just punishment for such a criminal is the death penalty. That or use as a human test subject for science.
SEATTLE – A sheriff's spokesman in Washington state says Seattle police have fatally shot the man suspected of gunning down four police officers.
Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer says Maurice Clemmons was shot and killed early Tuesday in a Seattle neighborhood. Authorities suspected Clemmons of killing the four officers at a coffee shop Sunday morning in Lakewood, a suburb about 35 miles south of Seattle.
<sarcasm> No, it's wrong to kill a man as a punishment for killing another man. We must talk with him. find out what are his feelings. Did his daddy touch him in his no no spot? Was he raised around a criminal household? Was he abused by police officers? It must be someone else's fault. We must find out why and talk to him, get him to open up, and sit in a circle singing kumbaya and everything will be alright again.
Can't say I feel bad that he was killed. At least tax payers get to save the court costs now.
