4 Cops gunned down in Washington coffee shop

[Fate]

In 1990, Clemmons, then 18, was sentenced in Arkansas to 60 years in prison for burglary and theft of property

Ok, that is fucked up. Any legal system that is capable of sentencing a 18 y.o. for 60 years in prison for crimes that do not involve death or severe injury (irrespective of any past criminal record and whatnot) deserves any shit it gets.

Harsh prison sentences are necessary to keep the black population in check. You obviously don't live in a city with a dangerous and socially backwards ethnic minority.

I was doubting the guy would be taken alive anyways. Even if he tried to surrender.

Assuming they have positive ID that he's the guy, if he holes up like that IMO the proper strategy is to:

a) ensure that there isn't anyone else in the house with him
b) fill the place with lead

It's not worth risking more law enforcement lives on a guy like that.

Slavics are dangerous and socially backwards, but they don't constitute a minority in Poland.

The SWAT team seems like overkill. 

I thought that.

If you are not going to use your SWAT team to go after the guy who has already killed 4 police officers in cold blood, WTF do you have  SWAT team for?

Maybe the thread where the guy goes on a killing rampage isn't the place to argue long sentences are fucked up.

Disagree. If anything, he was a victim of injustice and the pigs who got shot deserve what they got for defending the corrupt and unjust system.

But they weren't going after the bad guy in that shot, they were on a crime scene.

And you wonder why you get so much shit.

Miscomprehend what you read much?

The officers were sitting in the cafe at a strip mall near the Tacoma suburb of Parkland with their laptop computers, preparing for their day shifts,

One of his more amusing bits of deliberate hyperbole, IMO.

But they did not know if the bad guy was still around somewhere, presumably.

Makes sense to have them there and ready in case the bad guy is found in some store nearby or whatever.
