The incident happened near the McChord Air Force Base in Washington State and according to first reports the police were targeted.Perhaps a terrorist incident?Local sheriff called this strange attack as an ambush

I doubt this is a terrorist incident. Just seems like some cops getting shot, not a very important news story.

Not very important? Are you ing kidding me?

Ar geed. Look at the 3 cops killed in my hometown of Pittsburgh PA back in April. It might have affected the town locally, but nationally I don't see how it did much outside of the police departments taking an interest in it. I feel bad, but what can you do?

Not much you can do except make improvements on how police respoded and how they're trained. But I doubt that wasn't much of an issue in this case being that they were ambushed.

[Stavroforos]

Well, I'm sure it's important to the families involved, but besides that, I don't see how it affects the world at all.

That's not the ing point dude. They are PEACE OFFICERS who got ambushed in a planned attack. This isn't your average "criminals" who got surprised when the officers entered on them doing whatever.


Show some respect.

I still fail to see the importance, sorry.

Then don't post, no one is forcing you too.

As uncordial as Stavroforos may be, I cannot disagree with him. There is no reason to assume this was a big terrorist plot that threatens America. It was probably just a gang of despicable criminals that became desperate. If we find some turbans discarded on the ground, however, we might assume it was part of a larger terrorist plot. As it stands, there's no reason to jump to such conclusions.

Because, you know, only Muslims can be terrorists, right?

All Muslims may not be terrorists, but all terrorists have been Muslims! Well, except for Chechnyans, Somali pirates, the Ku Klux Klan, and a few others, but they don't matter. Which of the four I listed tend to be most likely to specifically target American police officers? It's interesting, however, that they did not shoot any of the American civilians with the police. That seems to rule out Muslim Jihadists, as they tend to like killing as many Americans are possible, generally speaking. My vote goes to psychotic snappers (though they tend to "work" alone) or to criminals taking revenge on police for some past justice.

Anyway, no conclusions can be reached with the article itself.

I don't recall hearing Timothy McVeigh being a Muslim?

Perhaps a domestic terrorist attack?What we can say with certainty is that this was not a usual crime incident.The police was targeted because it was police

Someone or group is declaring war against police. On Halloween a cop was killed because the suspect had a personal war against all police. A few months earlier the suspect torched police cars at a police station in hope to attract more cops and blow up a bomb to kill more police. Thank god that bomb failed.

Just doing mah job, brah.

this looks like a gang attack not a terrorist ambush, why every such attack in america after 9/11 is taken as terrorist attack? may be because they know what they have done with the world would not let them be easy and without fear.

Can't rule out much of anyone at this point. Gang-related, mafia, jihadists, or even militia.

Washington State is known for anti-government activity.
