Seattle Police Kill Mad Dog
- The man suspected of gunning down four police officers in a suburban coffee shop was shot and killed by Seattle police early Tuesday, a sheriff's spokesman said.
Maurice Clemmons was shot to death in a working-class south Seattle neighborhood after police tracked him down using possible hiding spots supplied by Pierce County investigators, said Ed Troyer, a spokesman for the county sheriff.
We don't expect any rational explanation for what was done to our fellow officers in Washington to ever be found, but perhaps they can rest in peace knowing their killer is rotting in hell about now. Or at least their families might find some comfort.

This story made me smile. I love happy endings.
make examples of the family and friends that aided him. throw them all in jail...oh wait, the pols will just let them go too! also notice how the scumtimes buried this story...and no comments from the peanut gallery? mr jackson? mr sharpton? guess you only jump when it serves your agenda.
At least we know he won't be paroled or let out on some technicality again. I hope they find out who of his friends and family helped him elude the police for so long and they are arrested.
My prayers to the families of the fallen officers. I hope they can get some peace now knowing that this monster will never walk the streets again.
I am awaiting the comments from Bobby Rush, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. What will they say?
good... hopefully his last days with that bullet in his gut were very painful. kudos to the copper that killed this asshole. hopefully it was also painful. a few shots to the chest maybe?? hopefully he was gasping for air for a few minutes then finally choked on his own blood in his lungs dying a very slow and painful death.. well, one can only hope. great job by the officer. god bless the familys. hopefully some members from cpd are going to take the ride out to washington for the funeral services. It would be nice if they could get dept. cars again like they did for the coppers in oakland. remember the fallen and the families.
Just fine police work, boys
Burn in hell you fucking piece of SHIT!!
The scumbag relatives who lied and secreted the killer should be prosecuted and jailed!
A lone hero Seattle police officer confronted the killer and shot the slimeball to death.
A handgun taken from one of the deceased officers was recovered from the scene.
I don't know if this guy was legally insane or not but he was certainly very, very close.
But how could any human being not get on a cell phone when this guy shows up ? THe fact that one person failed to do this surprises me ... but 4 .... 5?
And that's 4 or 5 out of the first 4 or 5 people he made contact with ....because only ONE person called police. ONE PERSON.
This is the ghetto mentality out there. If this guy had been white, his own mother and father would have pumped him full of lead. But in a black neighborhood ...hey, it's OK bro ...you just hide right here and we'll get you a band-aid for that GSW.
You wanna talk about race today Eric Holder? Who's the coward now you rat.
Let me guess..this asshole already had a criminal record and was either out early, or in violation of his parole or release conditions?
OUTSTANDING!
JUSTICE IS SERVED!
The murderer of 4 PO's in Washington State has been shot and killed by police. Great job by our brothers and sisters there! No court, no liberal apologists lamenting in court about how unfortunate the assassins' life has been and how no one cared about him as a child and gee, the poor man was misunderstood, etc. etc.
F*ck him and his friends and family who have reportedly aided and abetted his flight from law enforcement since his assassination of the officers. He will now be judged in the afterlife where no bleeding hearts can champion his cause as they did for Mumia Abu-Jamal (who was convicted and sentenced to death for the December 9, 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner), or Rubin "Hurricane" Carter who was convicted twice for the murder of three people.
This one ended the way it should have. Now let everyone grieve for the REAL victims here, the heroes in uniform and their families. God bless them and all who do this thankless job!
.
Rest in Peace my Sister and Brothers...
This just adds 4 more reasons why we attend the memorials such as St. Jude, Candlelight Vigil, Springfield and Washington DC.
All Gave Some Because Some Gave All
Good!
The Killer of four Lakewood Police Officers was himself shot and killed by a lone Seattle Police Officer. Only by the grace of God and training did the lone Seattle P.O. survive the encounter. He could have easily have been the fifth victim.
Now, no courtroom theatrics, no lawyers looking to make a name for themselves among career criminals, no liberal pukes in court crying about how unfortunate the killer's life has been and how no one cared about him as a child, how he was misunderstood, how he was mentally incompetent, bi-polar, sexually abused as a child, etc. etc.
That monster Clemmons will become Huckabee's Willie Horton.
Add another member of the media to the groing list of anti-police jagoffs.
WGN's larry Potash asked the on-scene reporter in Washington if Clemmons was armed at the time he was killed. Implying that he was executed by the police.
Here's a big Fuck You to Larry Potash. Go back to whatever fucked-up town you crawled out from.
P.S. Hope you read the blog jagoff.
The drive from 3510 S. Michigan Ave. to the Lakewood (WA) P.D. station, 9401 Lakewood Dr. SW, is 2077 miles and over a 30 hour drive, ninety percent on westbound Interstate 90.
If your driving in marked CPD squad cars, you had better get moving.
Arrangements could also be made with state police covering I-90 in WI, MN, SD, MT, ID and WA states.
Let's roll, up to four uniformed officers to a car.
Another crazed idiot put down! More to go! Thank the politicians!
Not surprising, but almost equally disturbing that the family and friends of the cop-killer went through great pains to help hide him knowing he just killed 4 police officers.
According to Washington police they gave false tips to throw off police.
Fortunately, unlike in Chicago, when they were determined to be accomplices, THEY WERE ARRESTED AND CHARGED!
Attention: C.C.A.S.A., Felony Revue
Police said they aren't sure what prompted Clemmons to shoot the four officers, who were in uniform and working on paperwork at the coffee shop just two blocks outside their jurisdiction.
"The only motive that we have is he decided he was going to go kill police officers," Troyer said. He said Clemmons talked the night before the shooting about killing a group of cops and watching the news.
Police believe Clemmons chose the coffee shop because it was frequented by police officers from various agencies.
"We do not believe that the Lakewood officers were actually targeted other than that they were police officers in that location at the time where he knew he could find police officers."
ANOTHER REASON TO BE CAREFUL WHEN VISITING KNOWN POLICE HANGOUTS! WE ARE ALWAYS TARGETS IN UNIFORM.
TG they "got" him. Rest in peace officers.
God be with you all and their families!
May he Rot in Hell!
Great job Seattle Officer! now that's how justice is served!
Too bad they could only kill him one time!
I don't know about the families but I find a great deal of comfort in the fact that he is dead!
Rot in Hell, Clemmons. You should have been put down like the animal you are years ago.
Here's hoping that the 7 arrestees who helped this savage get long terms in prison as accessories to murder.
God bless the fallen officers!
GOOD
Dey sasanatted dat man.
No they didn't, but if they did, great job!
Good work Seattle PD. Glad police are ok after the confrontation.
That South Pct. SPD officer should be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Since Clemmons was obviously a good marksman and armed with one of the slain Lakewood officers weapons, the line between a live hero investigating an abandoned steal and yet another dead cop is slim indeed. The officer first spotted and recognized Clemmons as he was approaching him from behind as he sat in his SPD squad car writing the report.
Aside from being eaten alive by a thousand rats in a Seattle sewer, this was the best possible outcome to this manhunt of all manhunts.
To have this piece of shit on death row for years at Walla Walla awaiting the merciful needle would only add to the pain of the surviving loved ones, the Lakewood PD and police everywhere.
May God give the families some closure and a sense of peace knowing that Clemmons is now burning in Hell.
The location of the muthafucka's demise is five miles south straight out Martin Luther King Way from the site of the futile SWAT assault on the premises in the Leschi neighborhood of East Seattle.
I believe that anyone who knowingly aided and abetted cop killer Clemmons in his flight should leave Walla Walla in a pine coffin after serving natural life with no possibility of parole.
as you pull on the 80/20's and lace up the boots for yet another tour your thoughts race about what if it were me and was this the last time my loved ones will ever see me alive... the killing of the coffee shop murderer by seattle pd is only the beginning of the healing process... the four murdered officers left behind 9 children.... the law enforcement community weeps yet again in the face of this senseless act of violence and our heartfelt condolences are extended to surviving family and friends....
got the "dog" part correct at least. animal!
Burn in hell you piece of shit waste of oxygen and tax money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Huckabee should share the same cell as the rest of this animal's family.
Probably the best news I heard all year. The only was this should have ended. Great job to the cops who put their bullets in this guy, one less piece of crap to stink up this world. My condolences to the police offficers and their families of this tragedy.
I'm deeply saddened by this and my heart goes out to the family members/friends of the slain police.
Yet another massive FAIL of our legal system.
Unfortunately,it wont bring them back. But the score is now settled.

My son was KIA in Afghanistan about six weeks ago and the response of local law enforcement, including members of the CPD, was very generous. For all of you who go in harm's way everyday on the streets of Chicago or in any other jurisdiction, the Rudzinski family says thank you. Don't forget, there are a lot of people out there who support you and have your back.
their blood is on Huckabee's hands
he gave the clememcy to this piece of garbage
he doesn't belong in the GOP, kick his ass out
GOOD!

OT: I was a walk in for the POWER test, did not register. Filled out paperwork, was told by the staff that walk ins were welcome. Now I'm missing the check and was told by the academy you had to register or you can't get paid. WTF? Anyone else having this issue?
Excellent work to our WA brother. Can I send u a keg or a truck maybe???
Justice served swiftly! Thanks to the alert PO who brought this search to an end. BEAWARE of copycats boys and girls. Policing has forever changed!
Thank God. May The SOB rot in Hell
OT: SCC not "insignificant" anymore. This morning at 1056hrs I was listening to the John Williams Show, WGN Radio. A rep. from Google was on and stated that Second City Cop was the 3rd most searched name on Google in the Chicago Area. SCC whomever you are, keep your head down and stay safe. F/U J-Fraud!

"We expect to have maybe six or seven people in custody by the day's end," said Ed Troyer, a spokesman for the Pierce County sheriff. "Some are friends, some are acquaintances, some are partners in crime, some are relatives. Now they're all partners in crime."
How many of them will get probation? I can hear PD now; "my client didn't know the subject was wanted, no I don't watch television, I was reading a book all week in a library, the subject said the wound was from a basketball game...."
OT: Did you see this?

Mad Dog I like! the suspect should not be mentioned ever again. Anyone wishing to refer to him should use the following: the killer of Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39, and Officers Ronald Owens, 37, Tina Griswold, 40, and Greg Richards, 42. I'm so tired of pictures and names of suspects on the news. MEDIA!! Please only show pictures and names of the VICTIMS with permission!
Check out where this tragedy ranks in our national media...even in the drudge report it does not rank highly...yet FU#$ing BBC news covered this story...may they prosecute this thing's family member(s) who sheltered it after it killed those officers.
THANK YOU GOD!
RIP Brothers and Sister! This animal is now in Hell where he belongs!
The following was sent to Bill O'Reilly of Fox News:
Dear Mr. O’Reilly—
You can spin it any way you’d like to on the “No Spin Zone” about how Mike Huckabee is a “stand up guy”. But the bottom line is: He commuted the sentence of Maurice Clemmons, thereby making him eligible for parole. You don’t get a 108 year sentence for pitching pennies on the street corner. The Washington State judges, as despicable as their decisions were in this matter, wouldn’t have even been involved if this piece of human garbage was still rotting in an Arkansas prison for his initial sentence.
You dropped the ball on this one sir. Huckabee is most certainly accountable in allowing Clemmons to walk. Clemmons killed four innocent police officers for no reason. You just let your fellow Fox contributor off the hook. Fair and balanced? Hmmm. Not this time anyway. I’ve been a Factor fan since the beginning, but this segment left me very disappointed.
Sincerely,
Sean Glinski
Sergeant
Chicago Police Department
Rest in Peace
Sergeant Mark RENNINGER

A memorial service has been announced for the four slain officers one week from today on Tuesday, December 8th at the Tacoma Dome, 2727 E. "D" St., Tacoma at 1 PM (PST).
Driving time and distance from CPD HQ, 3510 S. Michigan Ave. to the Tacoma Dome is over 30 hours and 2,070 miles, almost all on Interstate 90 via IL, WI, MN, SD, MT, ID and WA.
The quadruple cop killer was shot and killed by Officer Benjamin L. KELLY, Seattle PD, South Pct.
At least any copycats or sympathizers will know what their fate is; should they attempt to pull some heinous, babaric activity like this ever again.
I still wish that animal was found dead in a ditch, after suffering horrible agony for days, from the initial contact. This end was too easy for such a beast.
RIP Brothers & Sister in Blue! Watch over your flock in blue!
If this happened in Chicago the poor coppers who terminated the savage would be indicted like Bill Cozzi.
Thank-You Seattle PD!
Losing 4 people in a small dept has to effect almost every member,our thoughts and prayers are with them. It would be like losing 1/2 of my watch on days,I can't even imagine. Our depts lack of manpower makes this scenario in Chicago VERY LIKELY. Pray for them and their families.
It's just too bad that this piece of dog shit couldn't have been beaten to death with baseball bats from the feet up.
The NYPD will be represented at the memorial for the 4 murdered Lakewood, Washington
police officers. Uniformed MOS in RMPs.
What about CPD?
There's nothing rational about what this guy did.
A prime example of somebody who should have still been locked up. Thank you Mike Huckabee.
Good old fashioned Police response to a rabid dog. The libtards, pinkies and running dog rev'runs will cry & whine that he was just misuderstood and had a bad childhood. The real upright citizens have no problem with mad dogs being put down... It should happen more often.
God Bless the fallen and their loved ones in this time of sorrow. God Bless The Police.
Good Ridddance...Rot in Hell MF
The killer tried to sneak up behind the officer investigating the steal. The officer noticed him sneaking up and ordered him to stop and show his hands. The coward offender then attempted to run when he had been confronted with a fair fight. He was killed when he tried to pull out the handgun that he stoled from a murdered Lakewood PO. Nice job by an alert 99 unit in Seattle.
What a real Fucking piece of SHIT!
Some of these No REMORSE motherfuckers are in every State and City and it pisses me off that our LIBERAL judicial system does not identify these people when they HAVE them in the system!
Many of these worthless JAGBAGS are occupying space in Cook County Jail and the Illinois State Penal System. They non-taxpaying residents (usually) living for free in the City of Chicago as we speak..they are dangerous thugs with no direction or care for life itself.
Basically "people" that are removed from these types of people do not even believe nor do they know that they exist in our society!
The POLICE do know them!
Also...be careful folks COPYCATS follow these "GLORIFIED MEDIA EVENTS" death by police can be common...
These depressing times can bring out the worst in our society! Especially in the lowest forms of humanity that we have to encounter as it is our jobs!

A happy ending to a tragic story. Just hope he suffered a lot before his final breath. Just thinking that if that p.o.s. would have been shot here by the police, the technicolor store front reverends and other certain loudmouths who love camera time would be saying the police executed that p.o.s. in cold blood with out a trial. And our blundering media coverage here in Chicagoland would give more credibility to the p.o.s. and his family than to the police which is normal for them to do.
It appears that the Police Board Scandal is heating up again and "Indicted" Ike Carothers is attempting to "Fix" things.
When will the Feds drop the hammer???

SCC,
Did you see that you are #3 on The "Top 10 "Fast Rising" Terms" of 2009 according to Google for the Chicago market? Still insignificant?
This was absolutley sickening as well as saddening. I am so glad this beast was killed and we don't have have to listen to some Public Defender make a claim for insanity, tieing up the courts and their resources on this piece of SHIT!
Rest in Peace Officers!!
"The Chicago Police Board has been suffering for many years from a lack of credibility. Many officers feel that terminations are all too often the result of “politics” and are not based on factual information provided to the board."
This couldn't be more TRUE! Change the wording from "politics" to "CLOUT" and it's spot on. The "Chicago Way".
Who cares about the truth?
Police Board Overhaul Ahead
http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local-beat/Police-Board-Overhaul-Ahead-78214962.html
Trying to reign in the coming scandal?
I suppose the liberals and bleeding hearts will now say that he was "executed" and never was given a chance for a trial. They would sing a different song if it was one of their relatives shop in that coffee shop. By the way, I dashed off a nice e-mail to Huckabee's web site, wondering how he will sleep now knowing that the blood of four of our brothers is now on his hands, directly!
New Proposed Police Board Ordinance:
The ordinance would:
* Cut annual stipends of board members from $15,000 to $5,000, and cut the chair's stipend from $25,000 to 7,500
* Impose a 10-year term limit on board members
* Require the board to record the votes of each member and post them on its website within two days
* Remove board members who miss more than three meetings or fail to vote in 15 percent of the cases during a year
* Provide a written explanation of the board's findings and decisions in each case
Why don't they make Police board members attend the actual hearings?
This ordinance will not end the railroading of innocent officers.
Were is the FOP/PBPA on this most important issue?
good may that prick rot in hell
Hopefully a nice promotion is in order for the officer. We all know that wouldnt happen here though.
Mazel Tov Seattle PD!
While searching eBay I came across item 390123438017 which is a working radio that gets all cpd zones as well as city wide zones. For less then a hundred dollars which I'm sure any dope dealer would love to have.
WOW, the #3 searched term in Chicago. Nice work.
Oops, meant to share the link to the story showing Second City Cop is the 3rd most Googled term in Chicago.

I just got off the phone with Bill Cozzi. He was outside jogging before Mass last Sunday morning when TV news reported that the four Lakewood P.D. officers were murdered in the coffee shop.
A group of inmates were gathered around an outside TV set. When CNN reported the massacre, inmates started cheering and shouting "They (the LPD) had it coming", "Fuck the muthafuckin' police", etc.
Bill said don't worry about him. He asked that monies be donated to the families of the four slain police officers. An account has been established.
I would love to have that WEISel muthafucka eyeball to eyeball.
From your link:
Clemmons eluded capture thanks to family and friends who provided him with shelter, cell phones, cash and first aid for the severe belly wound he suffered when one of the dying officers in Sunday's coffee-shop rampage got off a shot, police said. Six to seven of those associates were being arrested Tuesday.
Among them were an accomplice who drove the getaway truck after the rampage and Clemmons' sister, who bandaged him up and gave him a lift to a house in Seattle, police said.
Accessories after the fact. They should all go away for a lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ong time. Apparently no one in his family or friends though calling the po-lice was warranted.
ECS
All parties seemed to agree that the police board could do a better job of making their findings public, including posting reports online. Such changes would likely be included in the amended ordinance if it proceeds.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
This is taken from a story about The Police Board and Ike Carothers.
ON LINE? So the public can now view our disciplinary findings? FOP WHERE ARE YOU?
The officer who single-handedly took out this P.O.S. should be decorated for his bravery. Condolences to the family and friends of our fallen brothers and sister.
RIP Brothers, and with all due respect:

It's nice to get some good news once in a while............. Adios M.F.er, rot in hell--
God Bless the deceased officers, their families & friends.
I had a feeling...
The only time i heard anything on this story is when the mutt was shot down by the big bad racist police. Screw the media.
Now brace for the onslaught of Reverends and "civic leaders" that will decry the actions(most noble and heroic)of the Police.
Sorry,and not to sound too Old School here SCC but:
You kill one of MINE
I KILL YOU.
So long sucka hope you gurgled and suffered in those last moments and further hope the last thing you saw was an officer standing over you pointing an MP-15 at your face.
I dont care how this gets flamed but dammit already.....how many Officers have to DIE out here? How many families have to be torn apart by these over zealous pieces of shit? How many times do we have to swallow the bile in our throats when dealing with these ANIMALS? And how many times to we have to fight the urge to toss the bastards down a few flights of CHA stairs? Enough is enough already.
God Bless the Families of the Murdered Officers,Theirs is a place with God now. As for the offender Burn in Hell and to his family....abortion would have avoided this but then again you wouldnt have gotten a check now would you? I feel NOTHING for your loss.He was a burden on Society and a waste of DNA. GOOD RIDDANCE

Not exactly a happy ending with 4 police funerals still to come. I know what you mean but this dog's life isn't worth a scratch on a police officer.
Piece of dog shit should have been put down with prejudice before he had the opportunity to slay four of us. Stay alert at all times brothers and sisters and be aware that someone might want to open up on you any time, any where.
Nobody has thought of the obvious, this was a well planned and well orchestrated act of domestic terrorism.
Don't buy the media spin of "Mad Dog" was just a crazed ex-convict.
No, he was a self-admitted Black Muslim member of a splinter group Black Panther Party.
December 4,2009 is the 40th Anniversary of the Chicago Black Panther raid. Coincidence?
Black Muslim Group Celebrates “Brother & Martyr” White Cop Killer Maurice Clemmons, he was a fellow Muslim.
“For Many Are Called But Few Are Chosen.” BOW Martyr Against White Terrorist & Racist Police Regime (Maurice Clemmons) Adorned With Virgins, Jewelry & Crowned; “When the Battle is Over, We Shall Wear a Crown.” – Seattle Black Foot Soldiers
He intentionally went to a coffee shop owned by a retired copper and known to be frequented by on-duty uniformed PO's/"targets".
There were additional individuals who aided and abetted his escape and evasion. I believe these same individuals had prior knowledge and aided in the planning of this horrible act of sedition.
I believe that there is much more to this story than just some POS who was a "Mad Dog".
I may be wrong, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Keep your eyes and ears open and never be complacent!
God Bless the fallen LPD officers, their co-workers, families and friends!
Thank-You to the SPD Officer who stopped this animal from killing more innocent American citizens!

How does it feel to be so "INSIGNIFICANT" SCC?
Ranked by the largest search engine in the world, as the third most searched website, in the third largest city in the USA.
SCC, you TRULY are "SIGNIFICANT"
What about something different -- a rolling law enforcement convoy from Chicago to Milwaukee and Madison on I-94...then up to the Twin Cities...over to Bismarck, Billings, Bozeman...then Spokane and into Seattle. Invite local PD's to participate and through each of the major cities do a convoy in honor of the Lakewood officers.
In each of the state capitals there could be a brief memorial service and then on to the next.
To Sgt. Glinski.
You said it much better than I could have, even though I thought the same thing. O'Reily missed the boat on that one. I've noticed lately that he is sitting the fence and not taking a stand as he used to do. I was really ticked when he said Hukabee was "stand up guy". WTF
First, I'm glad this guy was killed. That's not something I would say often, but someone who cold bloodily kills four human beings needs to die.
Second, I guess time will tell how much help he received after the coffee shop murders, but if my brother executed four people in cold blood I'd like to think I'd turn his ass in. For the safety of others and myself and family.
Third, we live in a society where we simultaneously have too few and too many people in prison. There are a limited amount of resources and we need to concentrate on the seriously violent criminals.
There is no reasonable way in hell this guy should have been "free". At the very least he needed to be forcibly medicated and supervised, if not locked up in an asylum.
Our own CPD had an officer, Richard Francis, murdered in 2008 by a "head case" who should have been locked up. He was also working alone in a department where hundreds or perhaps even thousands of officers are "mis-assinged". Again a question of allocation of resources. I guess Alderman Burke having a security detail is more important than officer or citizen safety.
As a nation we really need to focus our criminal justice and mental health resources on the truly dangerous. But I'm angry and ranting so I'll say goodnight and stay safe to everyone reading this.
The former Seattle police chief, Norm Stamper, has an excellent take on this entire series of events.
The link is mostly about how the officer shooting and killing the suspect was justified.

My son was KIA in Afghanistan about six weeks ago and the response of local law enforcement, including members of the CPD, was very generous. For all of you who go in harm's way everyday on the streets of Chicago or in any other jurisdiction, the Rudzinski family says thank you. Don't forget, there are a lot of people out there who support you and have your back.
12/01/2009 12:32:00 PM
God Bless you and your family in your time of loss. AS an officer in CPD I can say that we as a group stand behind what our soldiers do every day. Thank you for your thoughts in our time of need. I would have been happy to step into a squad car with your son and do what we do every day.
IF OUR PRESIDENT WANTS TO TAKE BACK THE STREETS AND CREATE JOBS.
HE SHOULD HAVE AN OBAMA CRIME FIGHTING BILL TO HIRE 200,000 EMERGENCY RESPONDERS IN THE U.S.A. THAT IS PUTTING PEOPLE TO WORK, TAX PAYING EMERGENCY RESPONDERS! EX-MILITARY GETS FIRST SHOT AT THE JOBS!!!
Kudos to Seattle Off. Ben KELLY. If he hadn't seen the cop killer coming from behind, Kelly would be #5.
Our hero.

How about if you assist another to commit murder then you are charged with the murder(s) also?
I'd like to offer a suggestion concerning the memorial service in Tacoma for the four slain officers.
Both the NYPD and the CPD obtain the services of a U.S. military Hercules C-130 transport to fly from JFK in Queens to O'Hare and on to McChord AFB with marked police cars in transport. Round trip after the memorial services.
Now that it's December, even the Interstate in and near the Rockies can get snowed in.
http://www.lpig.us/ This is a website for the Lakewood PD Benevolent Assoc. where you can donate to the fund for the kids of the killed officers. If everyone donates $20 they will have a sizable amount and there are 9 kids that are left behind.

Brilliant idea, Bklyn North.
I was assigned to nearby Ft. Lewis. McChord AFB handles all the huge aircraft. It's across the street from the coffee shop.
A USAF C-130 would be ideal for vehicle transport. They could even fly the police officers from CPD and NYPD round-trip, uniforms perfectly pressed.

THE HERCULES C-130 IS A GREAT IDEA.
Then the 2 largest police depts. in USA can be represented at the services for our 4 murdered brothers and a sister.
Like never before, it's time to show nationwide police SOLIDARITY.
You know that between the PDs in Seattle, Tacoma, Lakewood and the Pierce and Kings Co. Sheriffs, lodging would be available for our officers.
The Air Force has plenty of C-130 transports. It could probably hold at least a dozen police vehicles.

It's just too bad that this piece of dog shit couldn't have been beaten to death with baseball bats from the feet up.

Have we worked together before in the projects?I LIKE the way you think. hahahaha.
How many police cruisers can a C130 hold?

My son was KIA in Afghanistan about six weeks ago and the response of local law enforcement, including members of the CPD, was very generous. For all of you who go in harm's way everyday on the streets of Chicago or in any other jurisdiction, the Rudzinski family says thank you. Don't forget, there are a lot of people out there who support you and have your back.

Sir, I assume your son was Sgt. Christopher M. Rudzinski, Army, Military Police.
May your son Rest in Peace and kindly accept my deepest condolences to you and your family.

CPD, 25 years.
Justice was served at 1500 feet per second. No chance of appeal or commuting his sentence. Good job officer, on a job well done.

I'd like to offer a suggestion concerning the memorial service in Tacoma for the four slain officers.

Might be a little busy transporting men and material to Afghanistan.
To expand on Bklyn North's great idea, let's assume that the C-130 will hold 18 cars. Three cars from the PDs from Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and D.C. join the NYPD at Kennedy Airport. The Hercules flies on to O'Hare and 3 CPD cars are also loaded on, destination McChord AFB.
Otherwise, this horrific massacre will require police to drive 4,000 to 6,000 miles round trip.
To have four police officers murdered in cold blood in one crime commands the full respect of the entire law enforcement community in mourning and tribute.
At 2:15 PM (CST), the Office (PO Karra) of NYPD Comm. Raymond Kelly was informed of the "Bklyn North" idea of a huge C-130 transport for squad cars from JFK to McChord AFB via ORD for CPD pick-up.
Off. Karra was also notified of this SCC Web site address and the phone number to the CPD Supt.
Great idea, Bklyn North.

We can wire the funds from the City Hall Swiss bank account to support our mission.

" Nobody has thought of the obvious, this was a well planned and well orchestrated act of domestic terrorism."
I believe that you are on to something significant that needs to be looked into.
I hope Officer Kelley never has to pay for another beer for the rest of his life! The beast that killed four officers left nine kids with one less parent. After hearing Potash's comment on TV this morning, I called up WGN and told them after 15 years of watching Ch 9 in the AM I will watch ch 32, or anyone else. Potash should be fired.
May the 4 officers rest in peace.
Remembers, folks: don't go to thew same place every day at the same time. We never know who is watching or what they're planning.

Sir, I usually agree with your comments but I take exception to this one--------------cheap plywood should be used, not pine.
"Kudos to Seattle Off. Ben KELLY. If he hadn't seen the cop killer coming from behind, Kelly would be #5."
--12/02/2009 01:28:00 AM
...and when suddenly confronted with a known multiple murderer, Ofc. Kelly stood his ground, drew, aimed, let half a breath out and then held it, and s-q-u-e-e-z-e-d...
That is no small thing.
The death of this beast is welcome news. From news reports it sounds like the Seattle P.O. (working 99 I might add) who took the bad guy out did some heads-up, creative and courageous police work in getting this monster. Kudos to the P.O. for a job well done.
i would burn 4 days in a heart beat to drive a blue and white to WA. to honor my brothers. just ask.. RIP my brothers, the bastard is in HELL.

===My sincere condolences on the death of your son.
I am always grateful for the military. They make it possible for our way of life to continue, so we can enjoy our many freedoms.
And we, in turn, can go out there and try to protect others because he protected us.
"Some are friends, some are acquaintances, some are partners in crime, some are relatives. Now they're all partners in crime."
--------------------------------
I would guess that only those who actively colluded with the guy will end up doing any time. The charges will be dropped for most of them, or they will plead out and do no time.
If any of them actively colluded with the scum, they might see some time. But even that is doubtful.
At least their aiding a criminal will inconvenience them for a short while.
Weis didnt sent a home welcoming for the hurt officer from colorado. So I doubt he will to washington. I am sorry for the loss, so tragic and worthless. I am glad the piece of shit is dead. And I hope everyone does some real real hard time for helping him.
