Darn that's weird... I'm sure any K-12 schools in your immediate vicinity are locked down. Hope they catch that guy faster than soon.

They have moved to Beacon Hill now... still looking.

What kind of incompetent police force cannot find a dude going on foot??? seriouysly.

Didn't they surround a house last night where he was supposed to be... but apparently wasn't?

Its really weird but some people can move pretty quickly. Eventually he'll run out of places to hide.

I guess so.

you've never been on the zeil at 0200 in frankfurt, have you?

Yes, Germany has murders too. They just happen to have 86% less murders.

So you were there because of the military? Seems to be the extent of every one of the I have seen the world types, yet love guns.

What is your military experience? Perhaps you could share that with us.

he did right here > . <

If only the police officers had been armed, they could have defended themselves from this horrific gun violence...

I'm surprised that the gun lobby hasn't come forward with this line of argument yet - the fact that the 4 slain cops had guns and the perp got away still is proof positive that guns don't kill. Srsly.

Well to give them some credit... one did get a shot off. One. Apparently.

I hope they catch this savage. Be safe out there.

C'mon, dude. That is not a fair point or argument. A child can see thru such an elementary attempt to twist out a logical argument from this. It only makes you look silly trying to hang your hat on it, thus discrediting your position. Just sayin'.

Here you had 4 cops starting their shift, relaxing and deciding which bad guys to chase after for the day, and in comes a sociopathic killer thru the front door with gun blazing. He might as well been wearing a bomb vest. Blindsiding them, and lying in wait. An ambush is an ambush. He was a predator that pounced on his prey. How can you really stop this if you are not holding your weapon on the suspect in that instant?

Now, in the Philippines you have a private armed guard/doorman at EVERY coffee shop, fast food place, gas station, hotel lobby etc. THose who have been there know exactly what I am talking about. I feel so much safer there because of it. Maybe such security would have prevented/deterred this ambush attack.

One thing we can be sure, many cops who do a similar morning meeting routine each day are no longer, and police captains everywhere are likely writing up dept memos re no more group meetings at coffee shops or donut houses.

May our four fallen LEOs rest in peace.

You are joking right? Maybe we should all own M16s like my friend does there.

Let me get this straight. First, people discredit anyone beating the US. Lies! anti-American yada yada yada.

Now you guys are advocating we start to copy third world countries.

I know you are smarter than that.

I'm not the one making that argument - the gun lobby is. Srsly.

No, Boo, I am not joking. When I go to a Starbucks, and the guy has a shotgun slung around his neck and opens the door and says, "Good day, sir", I feel that I will have a nice, safe day. I like that there is someone to deter any type of crime there, and is checking bags for explosive devices as well.
